Re: JAM Exam Question Paper Physics

(JAM) is an affirmation test to Master of Science (M.Sc.) and other post-graduate science programs at the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, and different establishments. IITs began leading the JAM in the 2004 - 2005 scholarly session.

General Instructions amid Examination

1. All out length of the JAM examination is 180 minutes.

2. The clock will be set at the server. The commencement clock at the upper right corner of screen will show the remaining time accessible for you to finish the examination. At the point when the clock achieves zero, the examination will end without anyone else. You require not end the examination orsubmit your paper.

3. Any valuable information required for your paper can be seen by tapping on the Useful Data catch that shows up on the screen.

4. Utilize the scrawl cushion gave to you to any unpleasant work. Present the scrawl cushion toward the end of the examination.

5. You are permitted to utilize just your own particular non-programmable adding machine.

Please find the Physics question paper for the JAM 2015 Examination attached in the file below:
