PATTERN OF IIT JAM TEST PAPERS

PATTERN OF IIT JAM TEST PAPERS

Test Papers for Biotechnology and Computer Applications will be fully Objective Type. These Test Papers have to be answered in an Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by darkening appropriate bubbles using black HB pencil. Since the ORS will be evaluated by electronic means, it is imperative that the instructions given on the ORS are carefully read and followed by the candidates.

All other Test Papers will be Objective-cum-Subjective Type. There will be a "question-cum-answer booklet" for each of these six Test Papers. Answers to various questions are to be given at appropriate places in the "question-cum-answer booklet" itself. No supplementary sheet will be provided. In each of these six Test Papers, out of the total marks assigned to the Test Paper, objective and subjective questions will carry weightages of 30% and 70%, respectively.

The Objective type questions in all the Test Papers will have four choices as possible answers, of which, only one will be correct. There will be negative marking for wrong answers to the Objective type questions in all the Test Papers. For wrong answer to an objective type question, candidates will get negative 1/3 ( negative one third) of the maximum marks assigned to the question.

NOTE:

(a) Use of logarithmic tables / calculator of any kind / cellular phone / pager / electronic gadgets is NOT permitted during the Test. Further, the candidates are not allowed to keep calculators, cellular phones, pagers or electronic gadgets in their possession at the time of examination.
(b) All answers to the subjective type questions must be written in blue / black / blue-black ink only. Sketch pen, pencil or ink of any other colour should not be used.
(c) The medium for all the Test Papers will be English only.
(d) Use of unfair means by a candidate in JAM-2008, whether detected at the time of Test, evaluation or at any other stage, will lead to cancellation of his/her candidature and also debar him/her from appearing in JAM in future.
(e) Disclosure of identity in any form, e.g., writing roll number or name inside the question-cum-answer book, making any kind of distinguishing marks, etc., may lead to disqualification of the candidate.
