  2. About IIT JAM Exam IIT JAM Exam 2018 will be conducted in the third week of February 2018. Candidates have enough time to prepare for IIT JAM Biotechnology exam. In this blog, candidates get to know the complete details about IIT JAM Biotechnology examination, syllabus, exam pattern, books, study materials etc. IIT JAM is Joint Admission test for MSc. It is an entrance test to get admitted in IITs, NITs, or IISc to pursue M.Sc (Four Semesters), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D, M.Sc.-M.Tech., M.Sc.-Ph.D Dual Degree & other courses.

  3. IIT JAM Biotechnology • Eligibility Criteria • Candidates must satisfy these common eligibility criteria to write IIT JAM exam: • Candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree from any stream from any recognized university. • Both Indian as well as Foreign candidates are eligible. • There is no age limit for IIT-JAM exam. • Candidates appearing for their final year exams are also eligible. • Candidates must have minimum of 55% marks for General & OBC and 50% marks for SC, ST categories in their Bachelor’s degree. • Candidates also need to submit a physical fitness certificate at the time of admissions. Candidates found unfit to pursue his/her Science course will not be admitted to the institutes.

  4. IIT JAM Biotechnology • Exam Pattern • Exam pattern for all the subjects are same. Below I have mentioned the exam patter for IIT JAM exam: • JAM exam is divided into three sections: • Section A- 30 MCQs of 50 marks: Out of a total of 30 questions, 10 questions are of one mark each and 20 questions are of two marks each. There is negative marking of 1/3 mark for each question answered incorrectly out of the one-mark question and 2/3 marks are deducted for each incorrect question which is of two marks each. There is no negative marking for any question left unanswered. • Section B- 10 MSQs of 20 marks: Each correct answer in this section is awarded two marks. There is no negative marking in this section. • Section C- 20 NAT of 30 marks:  Out of the total 20 questions, first 10 questions are of one mark each and other 10 questions are of two marks each. There is no negative marking in this section as well.

  5. IIT JAM Biotechnology IIT JAM Biotechnology Books Candidates need to select best books to prepare for JAM Biotechnology Examination. These books are also available on e-commerce websites like, Flipkart, Amazon, etc. If you want to know which are the best books for Biotechnology preparation, you can check from here – IIT JAM Biotechnology Books.

  6. IIT JAM Biotechnology • Preparation Tips • Candidates must follow the below preparation tips to crack Geology exam: • Start your preparation 5-6 months before the exam so you can get enough time for your revision. • Do not study any other subjects. • Stay updated with latest updates, news, important dates regarding IIT JAM Biotechnology Exam. • Make notes of all the important topics and revise all those topics frequently. • Give more time to your weak points which helps you to improve them. • Maintain a good health. You need to eat good and healthy food everyday and take at least 7-8 hours of sleep.
