JAIIB Examination Cycle — How the Schedule Works
IIBF conducts JAIIB examinations twice a year — once mid-year (May) and once year-end (November). Each of the 4 papers is held on a separate day within the cycle, spread across 3–4 weeks. You can attempt all 4 papers in a single cycle without any clashing. IIBF releases the full annual schedule for both cycles together, well in advance — the current 2026-27 schedule (covering May 2026 through January 2027) was published on 2 February 2026.

How to Use the Interval Before November Registration
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the JAIIB November 2026 exam?
Paper I (IE&IFS) is on 1 November, Paper II (PPB) on 22 November, Paper III (AFM) on 28 November, and Paper IV (RBWM) on 29 November 2026. Registration was rescheduled by IIBF (system migration) and runs from 10 to 31 August 2026.
When were the May 2026 JAIIB results declared?
The May 2026 cycle ran from 3 to 17 May 2026, and results were declared in June 2026 — roughly 5–6 weeks after the last paper. Check your scorecard at iibf.org.in using your registration number and date of birth, or membership number and password.
Can I register for JAIIB after the registration window closes?
No. Once the final late-fee registration tier closes (31 August 2026 for the November cycle, after IIBF’s system-migration reschedule), no further registrations are accepted for that cycle. You would need to wait for the next cycle (May 2027).
If I clear some papers in May but not others, do I re-register for all 4 in November?
No. You only register for the papers you have not yet cleared. Papers already passed carry forward within your attempt window (5 attempts or 3 years from first enrolment).
Where can I verify the official JAIIB exam dates myself?
The primary source is the IIBF examination schedule PDF published on iibf.org.in. The current schedule (covering May 2026 to January 2027) was notified on 2 February 2026. Always verify against this official document rather than third-party sites before finalising your plans.
