[bombhola]

i'm in iit b thru jam-- what u want to know?

 

[graphic7]

Could you clarify what exactly the acronym MSC means?

 

[jai6638]

Masters in Science i think..

 

[poolwin2001]

It is Masters in Science.It should be written as MSc though.

Hi

i'm in iit b thru jam-- what u want to know?

Hi..

I would like to know what are the preparations required for JAM?

 

[Reshma]

Typo!

Could you clarify what exactly the acronym MSC means?

Sorry for the typo. It is "MSc".

 

[bombhola]

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.

[misogynisticfeminist]

WTF ! can't somebody ditch those acronyms?

 

[harish_suresh]

ooooooooooops

WTF ! can't somebody ditch those acronyms?

its master of sciencs
then indian institute of technology
and joint admission test to MSc

guess u don't have to b a rocket scientist to c what's for what

bye

[heman]

ahhh ...are u sure..By the way i too an IITIAN..doing engg. in CSE but i hope Reshma will guide u better

 

[Reshma]

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?

 

[heman]

there is 1 more user:himanshu121 here who is in AerospaceEngg. in IIT K besides me

 

[arimits]

HELP ME! me started prep for jam due next yr... currently in final yr physics... seriously requirin some hlp... so eagerly awaitin reply... :)

Regarding IIT-JAM book

Hi Reshma,
Can u pls tell me are there any specific books on IIT-JAM exam for Physics and Mathematics? If yes, can u please send me the titles and authors of the books. Or pls suggest me how to prepare for that exam.
Please send me the details to this mail id :
ravendra@triad-india.com

Thanks and regards,
Ravendra

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!

 

[Reshma]

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.

Although I had taken 4 semesters of maths, it isn't adequate for JAM syllabus.

Mathematical Methods: Calculus of single and multiple variables, partial derivatives, Jacobian, imperfect and perfect differentials, Taylor expansion, Fourier series. Vector algebra, Vector Calculus, Multiple integrals, Divergence theorem, Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem. First and linear second order differential equations. Matrices and determinants, Algebra of complex numbers.

I can manage most of the calculus and vector analysis part but I haven't touched Tensor analysis and Fourier series since we were never taught these topics. I'm doomed!

Neither were we (a bit of Fourier series, but due to "bad teaching" and time constraint, I could understand none of the topics). I'm currently using Boas' book (after reading ZapperZ's STRONG recommendations) to take me through the maths for physics. Not touched upon Fourier series, yet. Just over three months to go, I'll try to get in as much as possible (i.e. if I write the test )! Also, I'm not sure if they really teach tensor algebra/calculus in the UG syllabus in India.

Hi everyone!
Notifications for JAM 2007 will be out soon.
Check the IIT-Delhi site regularly for details. The JAM 2006 papers have been hosted on the site: http://www.iitd.ac.in/jam/testPapers.html .
Please go through them. They will give you an idea on what kind of questions you can expect. As far as the syllabus is concerned, it usually remains the same every year. You can check the JAM 2006 sites or consult any of the brochures available on JAM. The syllabus is put up there.
More details on JAM syllabus, paper pattern and related stuff are available on this site: http://www.indiaeducation.info/Engineering/Entrance-Exams/IIT/JAM/

Good luck everyone!

 

[neutrino]

It's great that they are putting up the previous year's question paper.

Also, the http://jest07.iopb.res.in/ has been made. Although this is primarily aimed at people with a masters degree, some institutes accept those with a bachelors in science and/or technology.

I'm curious at the large response that IIT questions tend to get in this forum. Not just in this thread but in general, when someone posts about IIT a whole bunch of newly registered apparently Indian users post to talk about it. What is the explanation?

hi reshma,
can u suggest me some books for jam(phy).

 

[Reshma]

It is because the entrance exam for admissions into the Master's programme in physics and other sciences (called JAM) is around the corner. This exam is a tough one and IITs are the most prestigous institutes in India; so it's kind of every student's dream to get into IIT. As far as new PF memberships are concerned, I reckon that users probably did a google search for IIT- JAM and they noticed my thread.

 

[Reshma]

hi reshma,
can u suggest me some books for jam(phy).

There are plenty of books that you can refer to for JAM. (Again, go through the syllabus for JAM)
The most recommended books are David Griffiths for ED, Kleppner and Kolenkow for Mechanics, Ajoy Ghatak for QM, Arthur Beiser for Modern physics, Resnick and Halliday for General Physics. Other topics for JAM are some basic electronics and optics, solid state physics and a bit of mathematical physics.

Preparation for JAM mathematics

Hi,
I am preparing for JAM 2007 (math). How should I prepare and what books should I refer?

 

[SS]

thank u reshma.again, can u suggest me some books for mathematical physics.we don't follow a particular book for this.

u r absolutely correct.i joined in this forum after reading ur thread on iit jam.Thanks a lot for ur information.

 

[kiruthika]

hi reshma,
Thanks a lot for all info u provide in this thread.its great.can u suggest me some general guidelines for preparing iit jam(phy)

 

[Reshma]

thank u reshma.again, can u suggest me some books for mathematical physics.we don't follow a particular book for this.

Well, for mathematical physics the best book I can think of for JAM is Mathematical Methods for Physicists by Mary Boas. They normally ask just one objective question on math. Concentrate on Fourier Series and matrices, they are most likely to be asked.
Most importantly, do the vector analysis part from David Griffiths book on ED, one long question is surely going come on this and there should be no scope for you guys to go wrong on this since the question will be pretty straight forward.
