FAQs

For IIT JAM, is HC Verma enough?

You must undoubtedly answer the HC Verma questions, however you should be aware that JAM uses key crucial calculating techniques (such as curl, divergence, and Hamiltonian) that are not used in HC Verma questions because that book is for your 11th and 12th grade coursework, not graduation.

What percentage of IIT JAM is given over to mathematical physics?

Students need to know everything about the exam, including how much weight each chapter has, in order to study for it well. At IIT JAM 2025, Solid State Physics, Electronic Devices, and Boolean Algebra comprise 20%, followed by Mathematical Physics at 15%.
