Joint Admission Test (JAM)

Exam Date:

The Master of Science and other post-B.Sc. programmes at the IITs offer high quality post-gradu­ate education in respective disciplines, comparable to the best in the world. The current pace of advance­ment of technology needs a coherent back up of ba­sic science education and research. The vibrant aca­demic ambience and research infrastructure of the IITs motivate the students to pursue R&D careers in fron­tier areas of basic sciences as well as interdiscipli­nary areas of science and technology.

From the Academic Session 2004-2005, Indian Insti­tutes of Technology have started conducting a Joint Admission Test to M.Sc. (JAM) for admission to M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programmes at the IITs. The main objective of JAM is to revive and consoli­date 'Science' as a career option for bright students from across the country and provide them a single step opportunity for admission to some of the postgraduate programmes offered at the IITs. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for normal­izing undergraduate level science education in the country.

Joint Admission Test to M.Sc. (JAM) 2007 will be held on March 25, 2007 (Sunday) for admission to Two year M.Sc. programmes in all IITs, Three year post-B.Sc. programmes (M.Tech. in Applied Geophysics and MCA) at IIT Roorkee and M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree programme in Physics at IIT Bombay and IIT Kanpur. Application Forms and Information Brochures will be available from 13, November 2006 to 5, January 2007. Details will be published in leading Newspapers and Employment News/ University News in the first week of November 2006.
