From the Academic Session 2004 - 05, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have started conducting a Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. (JAM). Since 2012-13, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore
has also joined the IITs in the conduct of this test. The objective of
JAM is to provide admissions to various M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D.,
M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree programmes at the
IITs based on the performance in a single test and to consolidate
Science as a career option for bright students from across the country.
In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for
normalizing undergraduate level science education in the country.
The
M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D, M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other
post-bachelor degree programmes at the IITs offer high quality education
in their respective disciplines, comparable to the best in the world.
The curricula for these programmes are designed to provide the students
with opportunities to develop academic talent leading to challenging and
rewarding professional life. The curricula are regularly updated at
each IIT. The interdisciplinary content of the curricula equips the
students with the ability to utilize scientific knowledge for practical
applications. The medium of instruction in all the programmes is
English.
PATTERN OF TEST PAPERS The questions for Biological Sciences (BL), Biotechnology (BT) and Computer Applications (CA) test papers will be fully objective type. There will be negative marking for wrong answers to the objective type questions in BL, BT and CA test papers. Candidates will get negative 1/3 for a wrong answer. These test papers have to be answered in an Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by darkening appropriate bubbles using a black ink ball point pen. Since the ORS will be evaluated by electronic means, it is imperative that the instructions given on the ORS are carefully read and followed by the candidates.
All other test papers will be objective-cum-descriptive type. There will be a “question-cum-answer booklet” for each of these six test papers. Answers to various questions are to be given at appropriate places in the “question-cumanswer booklet” itself. No supplementary sheet will be provided. Each of these six test papers will have multiple choice type questions(MCQ), fill-in-blank type questions, and descriptive type questions, carrying weightages of 20%, 30% and 50%, respectively. The objective type questions in these test papers will have four choices as possible answers, of which, only one will be correct. There will be negative marking for wrong answers to the objective type questions. Each objective type question carries 02 marks for a correct answer and negative 0.50 marks for a wrong answer. There will be no negative marking for fill-in-the-blank type questions.
Note : (a) Use of any kind of cellular phone/ electronic gadgets (other than non-programmable calculator) is NOT permitted in the examination hall.
(b) Use of calculator (non programmable) is permitted.
(c) All answers to the subjective type questions must be written in blue/ black/ blue-black ink only. Sketch pen, pencil or ink of any other colour is not permitted.
(d) The medium for all the test papers will be English only.
(e) Use of unfair means by a candidate in JAM 2013, whether detected at the time of test, evaluation or at any other stage, will lead to cancellation of his/her candidature as well as disqualification of the candidate from appearing in JAM in future.
(f) Disclosure of identity in any form, such as writing registration number or name inside the question-cumanswer booklet, or making any kind of distinguishing marks, may lead to disqualification of the candidate.
