Hello,

For the IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.) exam, you need to provide a Central EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate.

The IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and other central institutions require a central format of the EWS certificate issued by a competent authority as per the guidelines set by the Government of India. State EWS certificates are generally not accepted unless explicitly specified in the application guidelines.

Make sure that your EWS certificate is up-to-date and issued by the designated authority, such as a Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Tehsildar, or similar, as prescribed by the central government.

I am BDS graduate with 2 years of experience, am i eligible for iit JAM? or CSIR- NET? If so, which would be better?

Hello,

As a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) graduate with 2 years of experience, you may have some eligibility considerations for IIT JAM and CSIR-NET. Here’s an overview of each and their relevance to your background:

IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.)

Eligibility:
- Educational Qualification: Typically, IIT JAM is designed for students with a background in science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. It is primarily for admission to M.Sc. programs and other post-graduate programs in science at IITs and other participating institutions.
- Graduation Degree: A BDS degree, being a professional degree in the field of dentistry, generally does not align with the typical science-based eligibility criteria for IIT JAM.
Relevance:
- Given that IIT JAM focuses on science disciplines and your background is in dentistry, it might not be the most relevant option for you.

CSIR-NET (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - National Eligibility Test)

Eligibility:
- Educational Qualification: CSIR-NET is aimed at candidates with a background in science for eligibility in junior research fellowships (JRF) and lectureship positions. Common fields include Life Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, and Physical Sciences.
- Graduation Degree: A BDS degree is not typically listed among the standard qualifications for CSIR-NET. However, if you have a strong interest in life sciences or a related field and have pursued additional qualifications or research in that area, it could be worth exploring.
Relevance:
- While CSIR-NET primarily targets candidates with degrees in traditional science disciplines, if you have a keen interest in life sciences or related research areas, you might consider it. Additional coursework or research experience in relevant areas would be beneficial.

Which is Better for You?

CSIR-NET might be more relevant if you are interested in research or academic positions in scientific fields and have additional qualifications or research experience in a relevant area. If you’re considering a shift to a research or academic career in science, CSIR-NET could be a viable option.
IIT JAM would generally be less applicable given your background, as it is focused on science graduates and is more suited to those pursuing M.Sc. programs in scientific disciplines.

Hope it helps you!
