JAIIB 2026: Exam Fees Details
When you register for the JAIIB exam, the fee depends on which attempt you’re on:
- 1st JAIIB Attempt – ₹4000
- 2nd to 5th JAIIB Attempt – ₹1300 each
Now, here’s something most candidates overlook: the week you register also affects the fee. So be careful, and register for JAIIB early because:
- If you register for JAIIB in Week 1, you only pay the standard exam fee (₹4000 or ₹1300 based on your attempt).
- If you wait till Week 2, you’ll have to pay ₹100 extra.
- If you wait till Week 3, that’s ₹200 extra on top of your exam fee.
