Security Checks: You are likely to have to go through security checks by way of metal detectors at the entrance. Jewellery can trigger metal detectors and causes delays, and can only be annoying at the examination.
Distraction: You may find if you wear jewellery, it can be distracting in the exam and be uncomfortable. You need to consider this and take jewellery off and leaving it at home or preventing any unnecessary issues during the exam.

Some institutions may have specific guidelines (e.g., wear shirts or t-shirts, jeans or trousers, and recommend against women wearing high heels.)

Candidates must first determine whether they have qualified for the exam by comparing their earned score to the qualifying or cutoff marks once the IIT JAM result has been announced. If they do, they will need to get ready for the IIT JAM counselling procedure, which is the further step.
