The exam centers for candidates from Prayagraj have been shifted to Lucknow. This change has been implemented in response to the massive gathering expected at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj on February 1 and 2, 2025, which could hinder students’ ability to reach their original exam centers. The decision to move the examination centers to Lucknow was confirmed by the organizing institutes of both GATE and JAM—Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee and IIT Delhi, respectively. A statement from the organizing bodies clarified that several candidates had expressed difficulty in reaching Prayagraj due to the Mahakumbh. This prominent religious event draws millions of devotees every year. Consequently, the exam centers in Prayagraj for both GATE and JAM will now be held in Lucknow on the exact scheduled dates, with the GATE exam taking place on February 1 and 2 and JAM on February 2, 2025.

The updated GATE and JAM admit cards are now available for download, and it’s vital to check the new center codes and addresses carefully. 2. Bring Photo ID: All candidates must bring photo ID proof as uploaded during the online application process. This ID proof will be used for verification at the exam center and must match the one mentioned on the admit card. 3. Travel Plans: Given the change in centers, candidates are encouraged to make their travel arrangements well to avoid any last-minute confusion, particularly given the large crowds expected in Lucknow.
