thank u swastik
its really amazing site
are u appearing for jam
have u solved test papers on www.trajectory.in

Yes mamta .. you can ask for solutions on the JAM forum in trajectory.in ..I will post thr for benefit of all people..mamta said:thank u swastik

tanujt said:hello,
I am a final year B.Tech. Electronics & Communication student from Nirma University. I'm planning for graduation in physics, although have NOT appeared for JAM this year, might do so next year.
So right now my choices are- U of Pune, U of Delhi and U of Hyd. If I ask for the books for these entrances, I think everyone would suggest halliday & irodov.
anyway, is there anyone who has switched to physics from Engineering? or planning to?
I started this thread nearly 5 years ago and I wonder how much the exam format has changed in the last 4 years since I had given the test. Anyway, problem solving is very important and they ask numerical as well as non-numerical problems. Try to obtain as many past papers as possible and attempt solving them to identify your weak points. Here are some of the books I would suggest for preparation:anupboldhan said:please suggest books for iit jam physics i am in great confusion
There are no standard reference books for either JEST or JAM. But the syllabus for both is similar. JEST is fully objective based unlike JAM which has descriptive type questions as well.Smruthi said:Hi Reshma,
Even though this thread is for IIT JAm, do u have any idea regarding JEST reference books for physics?Kindly help as the exam is in feb. and i have no clue of any reference books. i have done btech in mechanical.
JEST papers are kept confidential, there are some sample questions on their website.Also, can anyone tell me where i can find previous JEST papers?
Thanks:)
deepak.j said:Hey all.. I'm also aspiring.. just aspiring.. didn't start working for JAM..:uhh:
But i happened to meet a few IIT madras students doing MSc.. N they told me that if i study about 2topics of the total 7topics in JAM syllabus, it'd be enough to crack JAM they said.. Is it true??
N also, they said that about 75 marks is enough to get a decent ranking.. Is it true??
Reshma said:Yes, Irodov's book is good for basic physics problems. Make sure you practice problems from the first 3 chapters of Griffith's book on Electrodynamics. QM problems are very basic and you can refer to Beiser's book for that.
But I reiterate, the best source of JAM problems is the previous years' papers. It has been 6 years since the exam began, so you have a good resource of physics problems to work on.
bombhola said:i'm in iit b thru jam-- what u want to know?
bombhola said:since u don't get to see previous yr's q. paper- i'd advise u to sit for as many competitive exams--e.g. JEST 2005, IISc, JNU entrance exam etc. as u can-- so that u get acquianted with their question types. exams r formula based-- I'm sorry to say u need to mug them up first! enroll for JEST immediately-- it's date may already be over-- after that there are some books which u'll have to go thru-- like griffiths, kleppner etc.
Reshma said:I am quite amused at the mixed responses I got in this thread. Anyway, this is a useful link for people interested in JAM: http://www.iitb.ac.in/~jam/index.html
If anyone is over here is preparing for JAM, you can PM me. I wonder how much help I can be of since I'll be taking this exam only next year, anyway glad to be of any help.
Also are there any IITians here who can be resourceful for students preparing for JAM?

Anyway, problem solving is very important and they ask numerical as well as non-numerical problems. Try to obtain as many past papers as possible and attempt solving them to identify your weak points. Here are some of the books I would suggest for preparation:
1) Electricity and magnetism: David Griffiths [There is usually one problem directly from this book]
2) Mechanics: Keith Simon, Klepner and Kolenkow
3) Electronics: Albert Malvino [Just basics on logic circuits, transistors is sufficient]
4) Mathematical Physics: Mary Boaz
5) Modern Physics: Beiser
6) Quantum Mechanics [For JAM level preparation, Beiser's book is enough]
7) Heat and Thermodynamics: Zemansky, Gupta Roy
8) Optics by Ghatak and by Jenkins and White
9) Resnick and Halliday for general physics, including mechanics,optics,etc.
10) Relativity: Robert Resnick's book is good enough.
Good luck with your preparations!
