The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) on February 1 and 2 and the Joint Admission Test for Master (JAM) set to be held on February 2 scheduled in Prayagraj, will now be conducted in Lucknow on the same dates. The revision in the exam centres is in view of the Mahakumbh.

In a statement, the GATE Organising Institute, IIT Roorkee, and JAM Organising Institute, IIT Delhi, said: “Representations have been received from several candidates expressing their difficulty in reaching the examination centres in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, because of the huge congregation of devotees expected in the Mahakumbh on February 1 and 2, 2025. Therefore, the examination scheduled at centres in Prayagraj has been shifted to centres in Lucknow on the respective GATE and JAM examination days (1st and 2nd February 2025 for GATE and 2nd February 2025 for JAM, respectively).”
