IIT JAM Eligibility

Prior to filling the IIT JAM 2024 application form, aspirants must ensure that they fulfil the IIT JAM 2024 eligibility criteria.

• In order to fulfil the IIT JAM 2024 eligibility criteria, candidates should hold a bachelor’s degree. 
• Candidates who had appeared or will appear for their graduation exams in 2024 are also eligible to apply, provided they submit the proof by September 2024.
• For the admission process, candidates who would pass the IIT JAM 2024 exam will be eligible to apply for the admission process.

Till the year 2021, the eligibility criteria for IIT JAM stated that candidates should secure a minimum 55 per cent aggregate or 5.5 CGPA/CPI out of 10 for General/OBC (NCL)/EWS category candidates and 50 per cent aggregate or 5.0 CGPA/CPI for the reserved category candidates. However, from 2022 onwards, this criterion was relaxed. Now, applicants will have to get a bachelor's degree in a relevant subject, and no eligibility cutoff is there.

You must have a Bachelor's degree with mathematics as one of the disciplines for a minimum of two years/four semesters in order to be eligible for the IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.). The precise course structure and length of the mathematics component will determine a student's eligibility for IIT JAM if they are a computer science or statistics student taking a Mathematics honours course. The following are some crucial considerations: Since you are taking a mathematics honours programme, it is essential to confirm that the mathematics component satisfies the requirements. Make sure you spent at least two years, or four semesters, studying mathematics during your undergraduate programme.Minimum Qualifying Marks: In addition to the subject-specific eligibility requirements, the qualifying examination (Bachelor's degree) may include minimum qualifying mark requirements for the various categories (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD). Consult the IIT JAM booklet: For the exact year that you intend to take the exam, consult the official IIT JAM information booklet. The pamphlet will provide comprehensive eligibility requirements and subject-specific specifications. Subject Paper: For the IIT JAM, select the appropriate subject paper. If you meet the requirements for mathematics, you are eligible to take the IIT JAM exam's Mathematics (MA) examination.Before submitting an application for the exam, it is crucial to carefully read the official IIT JAM brochure and confirm the eligibility requirements. You can continue with the IIT JAM application procedure if you satisfy all the conditions and are qualified.

If they meet the requirements, a B.Tech. in Mechatronics student may take the IIT JAM in Physics for admission to the IIT for M.Sc. in Physics. Physics must be studied for at least two years/four semesters and mathematics must be studied for at least one year/two semesters in order to qualify for the IIT JAM Physics for B.Sc./B.S. students. According to the rules, BTech graduates who have met the eligibility requirements for Physics for at least two years/four semesters are eligible to take the JAM Maths and Physics exam. It is crucial to keep in mind that, in accordance with IITs, all engineers are no longer required to have completed two years and four semesters of physics in order to be admitted to the MSc Physics programme. Only MSc Physics is free from this requirement; no other courses are included. Therefore, it is recommended to check the eligibility criteria of the specific IIT and course before applying.
