IIT JAM Physics Entrance & IIT JAM Physics Syllabus

The IIT JAM Physics syllabus contains the topics in forms like Modern Physics, Solid State, Mechanics and Electricity. The IIT JAM syllabus does not change every year by IIT and there are seven subjects in it and each and every subject has different syllabus. The seven objective type test papers include Mathematics (MA), Physics (PH), Chemistry (CY), Geology (GG), Mathematical Statistics (MS), Biological Sciences (BL) and Biotechnology (BT). A full proof exam strategy for JAM preparation is required.
