What is the Official Source for Checking JAIIB Exam Dates?
You can always check the official JAIIB exam schedule by visiting the IIBF website.
Just head to the ‘Examinations/Courses‘ section and look under ‘Flagship Courses’ and then open JAIIB.
Can JAIIB Exam Dates be Postponed?
Yes, but only under these specific situations:
- Center/State Postponement: If there is a local election, flood, or curfew, IIBF postpones the exam only for that specific city or state. The rest of India gives the exam on the same date.
- Technical Failure: If the computer server crashes mid-exam at your venue, IIBF cancels that shift and gives a new re-test date later. Your progress till the crash is saved safely.
- Attempt Rule: If IIBF postpones the exam, your absence does not count as a used attempt. Your attempt remains safe.
- Bank Pressure/Audits: If your branch schedules a sudden audit or forces you to work on an exam Sunday, IIBF will not change your shift or postpone the exam for you.
Expected JAIIB Exam Schedule 2027
The JAIIB exam happens twice every single year.
The first cycle of the year is expected to take place in the summer. IIBF is expected to conduct all the papers for this initial session within the month of May 2027.
The second cycle of the year is expected to happen in the winter. IIBF is expected to schedule and finish all the papers for this latter session within the month of November 2027. This fixed routine helps bankers plan their studies and leave easily.
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
The registration week also determines the fee payable. Registering in the first week saves additional charges:
- 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.
