Questions related to JAM
how to prepare for JAM exam for MSc( chemistry)
Hello aspirant,
It is recommended that candidates make a study plan in order to go over each subject in detail. Using IIT JAM Chemistry books and online practise materials is very crucial. To get a feel for the exam format, solve prior years' question papers. Discussions and group study can help with comprehension.

Hope this information helps you.
Answer laterBOOKS FOR IIT JAM MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS
Hello aspirant,
The most crucial need for passing the IIT JAM MA test is having a solid understanding of the fundamentals.
For no more than one month, learn the arithmetic of +1 and +2. This will provide you with a solid basis of really practical formulas.
The majority of the questions come from real analysis and linear algebra, thus those are the next subjects you should study. Avoid purchasing expensive books with flashy titles as they are not required for IIT JAM. Recommendations for books in your college course should be followed because they are based on the subjects and information that are genuinely required.
Some of the books I can recommend you are:
1. Calculus - Thomas Finney
2. Real Analysis - Bartle and Sherbet
3. Linear Algebra - Serge Lang
4. Probability - Sheldon Ross
Thank you

Hello aspirant,
See, you can only apply for the IIT JAM for the M.Sc. in Mathematics if you studied mathematics for at least two years or four semesters in your undergraduate programme. This is because in order to be admitted to the M.Sc. in Mathematics programme, one must have studied mathematics for at least two years or four semesters in their undergraduate programme. There are no restrictions on subjects taken in 10+2 and they won't even be taken into account when deciding your eligibility for admission; just your class 12th percentage will be taken into account.
