Okkkkkk
& wat about the no. of questions asked on each topic...
Out of 25 how many questions r asked on Mechanics & Prop. of Matter, Oscillations, Modern Physics, EM..etc..??...
is it fixed or Randomly?

I have given all the useful links on JAM. Please browse through this thread and search for it. The old papers have been uploaded on JAM site. Please try solving all of them. Any difficulties regarding the solutions, you can very well post your doubts in the homework section. The panel here will be happy to help you.:approve:

Here are some old JAM papers:

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?

IIT JAM is completely different compare to other entrance tests, it is completely discriptive and way of preparations should be more relavent to each chapter.

I am preparing for IIT JAM 2009.

This is my second attempt to IIT Physics.
Last time I achieved Interview level for IISc (Physics).
Let me further any clarifications and suggestions.

Regards,

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:

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!

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.

01.Mathematical Physics
02. Classical Mechanics
03. Electromagnetic theory
04. Quantum mechanics
05. Statistical Mechanics

Also, can anyone tell me where i can find previous JEST papers?
Thanks:)

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.
I can suggest the following books:
1. Mathematical Physics: Mary Boas
2. Classical Mechanics: Keith Symon, Resnick-Halliday
3. Electromagnetic theory: David Griffiths
4. Quantum mechanics: Arthur Beiser
5. Statistical Mechanics: Beiser, Gupta Roy

Also, can anyone tell me where i can find previous JEST papers?
Thanks:)
JEST papers are kept confidential, there are some sample questions on their website.

You can also appear for GATE Physics if you plan to do PhD in Physics. Papers are available online.
