Exam specifics: The following ten Indian cities are being considered as potential locations for the exams: 

Only three exam cities are available to applicants. Exam City allocation will follow the applicant’s order of preference during online registration in a first-come, first-served fashion. MUMBAI 

Under no circumstances will the candidate’s request for a change of centre be taken into consideration. The preferred exam city is simply a guide and is subject to change. The final say on the central allotment belongs to JIPMER. Let’s say a city hosting an exam is cancelled because not enough candidates are present there to meet the requirement. In that situation, JIPMER will reassign candidates who selected that city to any other centre or city that is open. Candidates will be required to abide by it. 

Any exam city may be dropped at any time due to unforeseeable events. With proper notification via the website or text message, JIPMER is able to assign a new exam city all at once.
