Candidates who have already completed an undergraduate degree (BSc)

or are currently studying in the f inal year of undergraduate programmes
are eligible to apply f or the exam. For aspirants who are interested in
taking the exam, their JAM 2025 Mathematics preparation should be
based on the IIT JAM syllabus 2025 mentioned by the exam of f icials.
Since the BSc Mathematics syllabus is very vast and quite dif f erent f rom
university to university, preparing f rom the specif ied JAM 2025 syllabus
will help the candidates know the topics to be studied and prepare
accordingly.
Aspirants preparing f or the IIT JAM 2025 exam must start their
preparation soon to ace the examination and get into their desired college
or university. IIT JAM MSc Mathematics exam syllabus includes the topics
studied in UG of Mathematics course. The UG Mathematics course is
very vast and contains topics like Dif f erential Calculus, Dif f erential
Calculus, Number Theory, Analytical Geometry, Mechanics etc.

IIT JAM 2025 Mathematics Exam Pattern

IIT JAM 2025 Mathematics exam pattern states that each test paper is of
three hours duration. In the exam, candidates need to attempt 60
questions which were of 100 marks weightage. These 60 questions are
divided into three sections – A, B, and C. All these sections are
compulsory and candidates need to attempt questions f rom all the
sections. The medium of instruction f or JAM test papers is English.
