In general, no, you should not wear jewellery to the IIT JAM exam centre.


Security Checks: You are likely to have to go through security checks by way of metal detectors at the entrance. Jewellery can trigger metal detectors and causes delays, and can only be annoying at the examination.
Distraction: You may find if you wear jewellery, it can be distracting in the exam and be uncomfortable. You need to consider this and take jewellery off and leaving it at home or preventing any unnecessary issues during the exam.

Firstly, go through the syllabus and keep notes attached to it. Then create a study plan and refer to quality study material like recommended textbooks make consice notes for revision. Practice regularly solve mock tests, previous year papers and solve its problems.

BONUS: Don't use your phone when you are preparing for the exam. If you're studying then keep your phone silent and stay away from unnessecary distractions.

Well, if you have Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, all three in your Bachelor's degree you should first understand and analyze that which subject you like the most and you are highly interested in. Then devote atleast a year and evaluate the scope of M.Sc in that particular subject, study it and then select the subject. Don't be in a rush, take your time.
