AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on preparing for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST), which assesses knowledge of basic physics principles and graduate-level topics. Participants seek recommendations for study materials and inquire about the difficulty comparison between JEST and the Joint Admission Test (JAM). One contributor shares their experience, mentioning a rank of 295 with a 93 percentile, and emphasizes the importance of understanding fundamental concepts and practicing with objective questions from standard texts like H.C. Verma. They suggest that the JEST syllabus aligns with the U.G.C prescribed graduation syllabus, which can be found on the official website. The conversation highlights the need for specific book titles and authors for effective preparation.
