Hello,

Yes, a B.Sc. IT student can appear for the IIT JAM Chemistry exam, provided they meet the eligibility criteria set by the IITs for the exam. Here are the general eligibility criteria for IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.):

General Eligibility Criteria:

1. Educational Qualification:

   • Candidates should have a Bachelor’s degree.
   • The degree should be in a relevant discipline for the subject they are applying for. However, for Chemistry (CY), having a degree in B.Sc. IT might be acceptable if the candidate has studied chemistry courses as part of their curriculum.

2. Minimum Marks:

   • Candidates must have secured at least 55% marks or 5.5 out of 10 CGPA (for General/OBC-NCL/EWS category) and 50% marks or 5.0 out of 10 CGPA (for SC/ST/PwD category) in their qualifying degree.

3. Specific Requirements for Chemistry:

   • Candidates should have studied Chemistry for at least two years/four semesters during their undergraduate studies.
   • Some institutions might have specific course requirements, so checking the detailed eligibility criteria of the specific IIT you are applying to is advisable.

Hope it helps you!

Yes, it is possible to appear for the IIT JAM in Biotechnology after completing a BSc. in Biotechnology (Vocational). Any candidate who have obtained a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university in a relevant discipline, such as B .Tech/B.Sc/B.E., are eligible to take the IIT JAM entrance test. To appear for IIT JAM in Biotechnology, candidate must have a Bachelor’s degree with at least 55% aggregate marks from a recognized university for General category. For SC/ST the candidate must have a Bachelor’s degree with at least 50% aggregate marks from a recognized university.

If your B.Sc. final results are pending but you’ve cleared IIT JAM , request provisional admission , provide an undertaking to submit results by the deadline , and consult the institute’s admission team for instructions. Keep all necessary documents prepared.

With a 2700 rank in IIT JAM EWS category, you have a good chance of getting admission into an MSc Chemistry program at several NITs like NIT Calicut, NIT Trichy, NIT Rourkela, NIT Patna, etc.

as the admission process for NITs mostly happens through the centralized counselling process (CCMN) based on your JAM score, and your EWS category will provide you with a significant advantage in terms of cut-offs; however, the specific NITs you can get into will depend on the individual institute's cut-offs and the overall competition for that year.

During counselling, carefully select the NITs based on your rank and preferred specializations.

Hope you have great life ahead...

No, based on the eligibility criteria, you wouldn't be eligible to apply for the IIT JAM program in Geology with a graduation degree in Geography from the University of Calcutta.

The minimum qualification for the JAM Geology (GG) program typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field for three years/six semesters. While Geography is a related field in terms of studying the Earth, it focuses more on human-environment interactions and social aspects, differing from the focus of Geology on the Earth's physical structure and processes.

The JAM Geology program delves into subjects like Petrology, Mineralogy, Paleontology, which require a strong foundation in the core principles of Geology. A Geography degree might not have covered these specific areas in sufficient depth

Several universities offer Master's programs in Geography with specializations like Environmental Geography, Resource Management, etc. These programs might be a good fit considering your background. Some universities offer integrated M.Sc. programs in Geology or Earth Sciences. These five-year programs are designed for students who haven't studied Geology at the undergraduate level.

Based on the information available for IIT JAM 2024, applying for Geology with a Geography degree from Calcutta University might be difficult.  IIT JAM requires candidates to have a Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field for three years/six semesters. This could include subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences alongside Geology courses.

Your graduation is in Geography, a distinct field from Geology. While there might be some overlap, it likely wouldn't fulfill the specific Geology course requirement for JAM.

No, your B.A. Geography and current M.A. in Geography likely wouldn't make you eligible for the IIT JAM Geology or BHU M.Sc. Geology entrance exam.

IIT JAM typically requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant science field like Geology, Geophysics, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Environmental Sciences. While Geography might touch on some related topics, it wouldn't be considered a direct equivalent for the Geology program. Similar to IIT JAM, BHU M.Sc. Geology entrance exams often require a Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, or other allied earth science subjects.
