SUMMARY

The discussion centers on preparing for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST), which assesses knowledge in basic principles of physics and graduate-level topics. Participants recommend focusing on standard objective questions from books like H.C. Verma and adhering to the U.G.C. prescribed graduation syllabus. The conversation also touches on the comparative difficulty of JEST and JAM, with insights from a participant who achieved a rank of 295 with a 93 percentile in JEST. Specific book recommendations are sought to enhance preparation for the exam.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic principles of physics
  • Familiarity with graduate-level physics topics
  • Knowledge of U.G.C. prescribed graduation syllabus
  • Experience with solving objective questions in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research H.C. Verma's "Concepts of Physics" for objective question practice
  • Explore additional graduate-level physics textbooks recommended by U.G.C.
  • Investigate past JEST exam papers for question patterns and topics
  • Join online forums or study groups focused on JEST preparation
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for the JEST exam, aspiring PhD candidates, and anyone seeking to strengthen their foundational knowledge in physics for competitive exams.

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..
