I submitted several jobs via SLURM to our school's HPC cluster. Because the shell scripts all have the same name, so the job names appear exactly the same. It looks like

[myUserName@rclogin06 ~]$ sacct -u myUserName
       JobID    JobName  Partition    Account  AllocCPUS      State ExitCode 
------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- 
12577766         run.sh    general ourQueue_+          4    RUNNING      0:0 
12659777         run.sh    general ourQueue_+          8    RUNNING      0:0 
12675983         run.sh    general ourQueue_+         16    RUNNING      0:0

How can I know from which directory a job is submitted so that I can differentiate the jobs?

You can use the scontrol command to see the job details. $ scontrol show job <jobid>

For example, for a running job on our SLURM cluster:

$ scontrol show job 1665191
    JobId=1665191 Name=tasktest
    ...
    Shared=OK Contiguous=0 Licenses=(null) Network=(null)
    Command=/lustre/work/.../slurm_test/task.submit
    WorkDir=/lustre/work/.../slurm_test

You are looking for the last line, WorkDir.
