IIT JAM

Hello,
The syllabus of IIT JAM Physical Chemistry is given below because Shiksha has a word limit in answer. So, I can't provided the complete syllabus here.

Hi,
If you opted for Mathematics subject in IIT JAM exam then yes, you should prepare for this subject. First step is to check the full syllabus of your subject and then understand the exam pattern. Mark the important topics, topics in which you are weak and topics that have more weight-age in the exam. This way you can easily concentrate on your studies by dividing topics into segments. Make sure to do revisions on a regular basis, make your proper study plan and follow it. Mathematics subject requires more practice so keep practicing question, get previous year's question papers and solve them, clear your doubts and practice as much as you can. Also, give mock tests to understand exam level and pattern.
