About IIT JAM:
Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. is an all India Examination. It is held at different centers across the country, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur will be the Organizing Institute and will have the overall responsibility of conducting JAM 2021. It conducts the Common Admission Test for M.Sc. (Two Years), Joint M.Sc. – Ph.D., M.Sc. – Ph.D. Dual Degree, M.Sc. – M.Tech., and other Post – Bachelor Degree Programs.
About JAM Exam:
The objective of JAM is to provide admissions to M.Sc. (Two Years), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree, M.Sc.-M.Tech., and other Post- Bachelor’s Degree Programmes at the IITs and Integrated Ph.D. JAM is expected to serve as a benchmark for the undergraduate level science education in the country.
