Candidates seeking admission in MSc Biotechnology courses offered at IITs should consider taking IIT JAM 2026. One of the most sought after courses, Biotechnology, is an extremely technical field and it requires aspirants to be thorough with all the topics at hand.
IIT JAM exam pattern for Biotechnology course admissions is such that aspirants need to attempt Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Select Questions (MSQs) and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions.
The weightage of questions asked in the IIT JAM Biotechnology paper is as mentioned below:
Subject | Weightage (In percent) |
|---|---|
Biology | 44 |
Chemistry | 20 |
Mathematics | 18 |
Physics | 18 |
