As you want to do M. Sc in Biological Sciences from any IIT so for that you have to give JAM entrance exam so here I am giving you information about it.

Eligibility:
Candidate must have B. Sc degree in same relevant discipline from a recognized University.

Candidate must have minimum 60% of marks.

Exam pattern:

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) : Each MCQ type question has four choices out of which only one choice is the correct answer.

Multiple Select Questions (MSQ): Each MSQ type question is similar to MCQ but with a difference that there may be one or more than one choice(s) that are correct out of the four given choices.

Numerical Answer Type (NAT) Questions: For each NAT type question, the answer is a signed real number which needs to be entered using the virtual keypad on the monitor.

Syllabus:
General Biology: Taxonomy and physiology, Pro-and eukaryotic organizms; cell organelles and their function; multicellular organization; energy transformations; internal transport systems of plants; respiration; regulation of body fluids and excretory mechanisms; cellular reproduction; Mendelian genetics and heredity; biology and populations and communities; evolution; genesis and diversity of organizms; animal behaviour, plant and animal diseases.
