Typo!

Sorry for the typo. It is "MSc".
 
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.

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?

The thing that sucks most is that Phyiscs students are required to have taken TWO years/four sems of maths, while we had maths only in the first year. Think they'll let me write the exam?
OTOH, http://203.200.55.110/" will have a separate paper for students with a B.Sc (for Physics only). Isn't that amazing! :approve:
