The JMI application form 2026 will be available from February 20 for admission to courses offered through entrance exams as well as national-level tests such as JEE Main, NATA, NEET, NCET, and CUET. While the registration portal will remain open until March 25 on the official website, candidates will be able to access the application portal up to 10 days after the declaration of the respective results.
