Hello aspirant,

Yes, even if you didn't take mathematics in class twelve, you can still be qualified for IIT JAM Biotechnology. However, there are several key points to be aware of.
Your graduation subject—rather than your Class 12 subjects—determines your eligibility for the IIT JAM Biotechnology.  The primary prerequisite is that you hold a bachelor's degree in biology, biotechnology, or a similar field.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

For IIT JAM BIOTECHNOLOGY EXAMINATION the 4 subjects are PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, MATHEMATICS AND BIOLOGY and the candidate must be graduated with other criteria. Nowhere in the eligibilities it is needed to have mathematics in +2 level.

You can check out the other eligibility in the brochure given below by Careers360.

Hello,

No, you are not eligible for IIT JAM Biotechnology without Class 12 Maths.

Eligibility criteria:

  • You need a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, Biology, or related subjects .

  • Mathematics at Class 12 level is required if your degree is from a non-math background in some cases.

  • Most candidates from Biotech or Biology background are eligible, but no Class 12 Maths may be an issue if you don’t have the required foundation.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Even without MPc in our intermediate, you are still eligible for IIT JAM Biotecgnology.

The most important factors for your elligibility are:

  1. You must have a B achelor's degree in a relevant science field(Biotechnology, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology,..etc).
  2. You must meet the minimum CGPA requirement in your graduation.
  3. Many IIT's require that you have studied science subjects like biology, Biotechnology, and chemistry for a certain duration(2 years or 4 semesters). Some programs may also require that you have studied M aths for at least one semester during graduation.

i hope this answer helps you!

Hello aspirant,

You can still apply for IIT JAM Biotechnology even if you didn’t study mathematics in class 12, as long as you hold a relevant bachelor’s degree in a science discipline and meet the other eligibility requirements. The exam eligibility depends on having a recognized bachelor’s degree in a related field, not on your 12th-grade subjects, though certain institutions might have additional criteria.

Hello, Yes, you are eligible to write the IIT JAM Biotechnology (BT) exam without having Maths in your 12th grade.

However, your eligibility for admission into a specific IIT after the exam depends on that particular institute's rules. Top institutions like IIT Bombay and IIT Roorkee do not require Maths in Class 12 for their M.Sc Biotechnology programs.

So, you can appear for the exam and get admission into some of the best IITs. Always check the latest official JAM brochure for the specific year's admission criteria.

Hope it's helpful to you!
