IIT JAM Exam Schedule 2025: Check Shift Timing, Reporting Time, Do’s and Don’ts

IIT JAM 2026 Syllabus

Covers 7 subjects like Mathematics, Biotechnology, Physics, Chemistry, etc.

Focus on core topics like Calculus, Linear Algebra, Genetics, Thermodynamics, and Spectroscopy.

Cutoff

Expected around 20 for Mathematics, 9 for Statistics, and 25 for Biotechnology based on last year’s trends.

Important Topics

Calculus, Linear Algebra, Cell Biology, Genetics, Thermodynamics, and Organic Chemistry basics are most important.

Prepare well on MCQs and numeric answer questions for better scores.

Congratulations on securing such a phenomenal rank...!!!

With 28.33 marks and AIR 1269 in JAM you have reasonable chance of securing admission in NITs and IISERs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal , IISERs and NIT Surathkal.

To check if your rank of 2224 in JAM 2025 Math (GEN) is good enough for an NIT, it's important to look at the previous years' cutoffs and trends for Mathematics in various NITs. Generally, a rank like 2224 could allow admission to some NITs, especially in specific categories, but the chances depend heavily on the specific NIT and the course demand.

I would recommend checking the detailed JAM 2025 cutoff trends for Mathematics on the Careers360 website or consulting their JAM College Predictor to get a more precise idea based on recent data.

Hello,

To prepare for the IIT JAM Geology 2026 entrance exam , consider the following resources:

1. Comprehensive Guides :

   • The IIT-JAM Breaker Series: Geology (2024) by Niloy Chakrabarti and Rohan Nandy offers solved papers from 2005-2023, practice sets, and model papers.
   • IIT-JAM M.Sc. Geology Entrance Exam Guide by Ajhar Hussain includes previous years' solved papers.

2. Subject-Specific Books :

   • Structural Geology by Haakon Fossen provides in-depth coverage of structural geology concepts.
   • Optical Mineralogy by P.K. Verma focuses on mineral identification techniques.
   • Igneous Petrology by M.K. Bose covers the classification and genesis of igneous rocks.
   • Hydrogeology by Todd and Karanth explores groundwater studies.
   • Remote Sensing Geology by R.P. Gupta discusses remote sensing applications in geology.

3. Practice Materials :

   • Numerical Problems in Geology GATE & JAM by Mrinal Shreshtha offers practice problems tailored for geology exams.
   • IIT JAM Geology (Volume Wise Solved Papers) by Eduncle provides solved papers organized by topic.

These resources will help you build a strong foundation and enhance your problem-solving skills for the exam.

Hope you find it useful !
