What After the Response Sheet? Answer Key and Objection Window
The release of the response sheet is the first step in the post-exam process. IIT Bombay is expected to release the provisional answer key shortly. Once both the response sheet and the provisional answer key are available, candidates will be able to compare their answers with the official ones.
If any candidate finds a discrepancy in the provisional answer key, they will have the opportunity to challenge it. The conducting authority will open an online objection window, allowing candidates to register their objections by paying a prescribed fee (typically per question challenged) . It is advisable to keep checking the official website for announcements regarding the answer key release and the objection window schedule.
Based on the scores obtained in JAM 2026, admissions will be granted to MSc, MSc-PhD dual degree and other post-bachelor programs at 21 IITs across the country, as well as at IISc Bangalore and several other NITs and CFTIs.
Candidates are advised to download their response sheets immediately and check for any technical discrepancies. In case of any errors, they should contact IIT Bombay through the official helpline provided on the website.
