JOINT ADMISSION TEST M Sc (JAM) 2008

FOR ADMISSION TO M.Sc. and OTHER POST-B.Sc. PROGRAMMES at INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY BOMBAY , DELHI , GUWAHATI, KANPUR , KHARAGPUR, MADRAS , ROORKEE .

From the Academic Session 2004 - 2005, Indian Institutes of Technology have started conducting a Joint Admission test to M.Sc. (JAM) for admission to M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programmes at the IITs. The main objective of JAM is to provide admissions to various M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programmes based on the performance in a single test and consolidate 'Science' as a career option for bright students from across the country. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for normalising undergraduate level science education in the country.

The M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programmes at the IITs offer high quality post-B.Sc. education in respective disciplines, comparable to the best in the world. The curricula for these programmes are designed to provide the students opportunities to develop academic talent leading to challenging and rewarding professional life. The curricula are regularly updated at each IIT. Interdisciplinary content of the curricula equips the students to utilize scientific knowledge for practical applications. The medium of instruction in all the programmes is English.
