The JAM is a qualifying examination for candidates seeking admission to various master’s programmes, including MSc (two years), master’s in economics (two years), joint MSc‐PhD, MSc‐PhD dual degree, MSc‐MS (research)/PhD dual degree and other post‐bachelor degree programmes at Indian Institutes of Technology (Bhilai, Bhubaneshwar, Bombay, Delhi, ISM Dhanbad, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Mandi, Palakkad, Patna, Roorkee, Ropar, Tirupati and BHU Varanasi).

The JAM score will also be used by the llSc for admission to integrated PhD programmes. The test will have seven papers: Biotechnology, Chemistry, Economics, Geology, Mathematics, Mathematical Statistics and Physics. “A new paper on economics has been added this year and the purview of JAM is extended to social sciences to provide admissions to masters programmes in economics at the IITs. To reflect this, the name of the exam is changed to Joint Admission Test for Masters (JAM) from the year 2021,” the IISc said.
