Participants seek recommendations for specific books and resources to aid in their preparation for the exam, which is relevant for those applying to integrated PhD programs.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants mention that JEST covers basic principles of physics and questions from graduate and postgraduate topics.
  • One participant shares their experience of taking JEST, noting a rank of 295 and a percentile of 93, suggesting a focus on basic concepts and standard objective questions from H.C. Verma and other objective books.
  • Another participant requests specific titles and authors of books to prepare for JEST, indicating a need for more detailed guidance.
  • There is a question about the difficulty comparison between JAM and JEST, with no clear consensus on which is harder.

i've written JEST and my rank was 295 with a percentile of 93 .just cocentrate on the basic concepts and try to solve the standard objective questions in H.C Verma and other objective books... the basic emphasis is laid on the U.G.C prescribed graduation syllabus which u can get in it's site
 
Thank you very much for that information, besides can you also suggest me with specific titles and authors of books to prepare...?

Plz..
