IIT JAM 2027 Toppers: Official AIR System
The Joint Admission Test for MSc (IIT JAM) is a national-level entrance examination conducted annually by one of the IITs on a rotational basis. One of IIT JAM’s defining features is that it does not produce a single "national topper." Instead, All India Rank (AIR) is assigned independently for each of the seven test papers. Every year, seven candidates hold AIR 1 simultaneously — one each in Physics (PH), Chemistry (CY), Mathematics (MA), Biotechnology (BT), Economics (EN), Geology (GG), and Mathematical Statistics (MS). Candidates who appear in two papers receive two separate AIRs.
The organising IIT publishes the toppers list — typically showing the top 10 candidates per subject paper — on its official website a few days after the result declaration. For IIT JAM 2027, this list is expected to be released by IIT Roorkee in March 2027 on the official JOAPS portal.

IIT JAM 2026 Toppers: Subject-Wise AIR 1 to 3 (Reference)
Since the IIT JAM 2027 result has not yet been declared, the table below presents the official subject-wise top 3 rank holders from IIT JAM 2026, conducted by IIT Bombay on February 15, 2026. The 2026 toppers list was officially published by IIT Bombay on March 26, 2026, on the JOAPS portal at jam2026.iitb.ac.in.
| Subject (Paper Code) | AIR 1 | AIR 2 | AIR 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics (PH) | Sarvesh Gupta | Jatin Yadav | Ankur Saha |
| Chemistry (CY) | Ayushi Agrawal | Deepak Poonia | Soumo Pal |
| Mathematics (MA) | Madhur Agrawal | Sarath Chandra Reddy Poreddy | Naveen Kumar G |
| Biotechnology (BT) | Sakshi Nijwala | Rit Vipinbhai Patel | Reshma Ganesh Hegde |
| Economics (EN) | Suryoday Sethi | Raghav Khera | Tanvi Jaiswal |
| Geology (GG) | Hrushikesh Nahak | Prachee Ray | Ayushman Barik |
| Mathematical Statistics (MS) | Koustav Chowdhury | Simran Kumari | Soham Rajesh Surve |
Note: This table contains data from the IIT JAM 2026 official toppers list released by IIT Bombay. The IIT JAM 2027 subject-wise toppers list will be published by the organising institute after the result is declared in March 2027.
IIT JAM 2024 Subject-Wise AIR 1 with Marks (IIT Madras)
IIT Madras, the organising institute for IIT JAM 2024, published the toppers list with raw marks out of 100 for each AIR 1 holder, offering a benchmark of what top scores look like across subjects. The 2024 data is the most recent cycle for which AIR 1 marks are officially confirmed.
| Subject (Paper Code) | AIR 1 Name | Marks Scored (out of 100) |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematical Statistics (MS) | Bishwayan Ghosh | 93.33 |
| Chemistry (CY) | Saurabh Kumar | 91.67 |
| Biotechnology (BT) | Siddhant Bhardwaj | 90.00 |
| Geology (GG) | Farheen Naaz | 85.33 |
| Physics (PH) | Indurekha Kundu | 84.33 |
| Economics (EN) | Mihir Dev Choudhary | 70.00 |
| Mathematics (MA) | Sarthak Yash Sethi | 57.33 |
Note: IIT JAM uses raw marks out of 100 — there is no percentile system. The Mathematics AIR 1 score of 57.33 reflects the paper’s consistently higher difficulty relative to other subjects; a score that would not qualify for AIR 1 in Chemistry or Mathematical Statistics was sufficient for the top rank in Mathematics that year.
IIT JAM Category-Wise Qualifying Cutoffs: 2026 Reference
IIT JAM does not publish a named category-wise toppers list. Instead, the organising IIT releases subject-wise qualifying cutoff marks for each reservation category — General, OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST, and PwBD. Candidates who score at or above the cutoff for their subject and category are included in the merit list and become eligible for counselling. The table below reflects IIT JAM 2026 official qualifying cutoffs released by IIT Bombay, and serves as the most recent benchmark for the 2027 cycle.
| Subject | General / EWS (out of 100) | OBC-NCL (out of 100) | SC / ST / PwBD (out of 100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biotechnology (BT) | 42.30 | 38.07 | 21.15 |
| Economics (EN) | 40.63 | 36.57 | 20.32 |
| Geology (GG) | 29.00 | 26.10 | 14.50 |
| Mathematical Statistics (MS) | 25.86 | 23.27 | 12.93 |
| Chemistry (CY) | 18.65 | 16.79 | 9.33 |
| Mathematics (MA) | 12.65 | 11.39 | 6.33 |
| Physics (PH) | 12.04 | 10.84 | 6.02 |
Note: The OBC-NCL qualifying cutoff is set at 90% of the General category cutoff. The SC, ST, and PwBD cutoffs are set at 50% of the General cutoff. EWS candidates use the same cutoff as the General category. IIT JAM 2027 cutoffs will be published by the organising institute along with the March 2027 result.
The 2026 cutoffs reveal a striking year-on-year shift: Biotechnology’s General cutoff surged from 24.46 marks in 2025 to 42.30 marks in 2026, reflecting a significantly easier paper that allowed more candidates to score higher. Conversely, Chemistry fell from 25.83 (2025) to 18.65 (2026) and Mathematics from 19.90 (2025) to 12.65 (2026), indicating harder papers in those subjects — a pattern that IIT JAM 2027 aspirants should account for in their preparation strategy.

IIT JAM Toppers: Previous Year Trends
The table below tracks the organising institute, exam schedule, and official status for the three most recent IIT JAM cycles alongside the expected 2027 cycle. Because IIT JAM assigns AIR separately per paper, the AIR 1 in Physics is independent of the AIR 1 in Chemistry — they are different candidates from potentially different disciplines and institutions.
| Cycle Year | Organising IIT | Exam Date | Result Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 (Expected) | IIT Roorkee | February 2027 | March 2027 | Upcoming |
| 2024 | IIT Madras | February 11, 2024 | March 20, 2024 | Concluded |
| 2025 | IIT Delhi | February 2, 2025 | March 18, 2025 | Concluded |
| 2026 | IIT Bombay | February 15, 2026 | March 19, 2026 | Concluded |
The subject-wise AIR 1 holders for the two most recently concluded cycles are listed below. The 2027 AIR 1 holders across all seven papers will be published officially after the March 2027 result.
| Cycle Year | Physics (PH) AIR 1 | Chemistry (CY) AIR 1 | Mathematics (MA) AIR 1 | Mathematical Statistics (MS) AIR 1 |

What to Do After IIT JAM Result 2027
- Download and preserve the IIT JAM 2027 scorecard immediately from the JOAPS portal — it is a mandatory document for all subsequent admission rounds at IITs and other accepting institutions.
- Check your subject-wise All India Rank (AIR) and compare it against the previous year’s institute-wise and programme-wise opening and closing ranks to estimate admission chances at specific IITs.
- Register for the IIT JAM 2027 admission process through JOAPS within the stipulated window to fill in preferences for programmes and institutes. Missing this window forfeits admission eligibility for that cycle.
- Prepare all mandatory documents ahead of counselling: qualifying degree marksheets, category certificate (OBC-NCL / SC / ST / EWS / PwBD as applicable), valid photo identity proof, and photographs meeting IIT specifications.
- Monitor the official IIT JAM 2027 website for the seat allotment schedule and admission list, typically released between April and June following the result.
- Candidates not securing an IIT seat should explore admission to IISc Bangalore’s integrated PhD programmes and other institutions (NITs, central universities) that independently accept JAM scores through their own portals.
