IIT JAM

No, you cannot apply in Central universities. To get admission in DU, HCU, BHU in PG you have to appear for CUET PG exam. Central universities do not consider IIT JAM scorecards for admission. 

But you can apply in NITs or IITs according to your category and previous cut offs. 

If you wants to download JAM hall ticket you have to visit their official website . There you have to login to JOAPS to download your admit card

With this rank, it is difficult to get top NITs like Rourkela, Warangal, or Durgapur, especially for General or OBC candidates. However, you still have chances at NIT Jalandhar (for M.Sc. Life Sciences or related courses), NIT Manipur, and NIT Sikkim through later rounds of CCMN counselling, as Life Sciences seats are easier to get than pure Biotechnology. If you belong to the SC or ST category, your chances are better, and you can aim for NIT Rourkela, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, or IIIT Allahabad in related fields.
