A candidate can apply for either one or two out of the seven JAM test papers subject to the restriction imposed by the Test Schedule given in the Information Brochure or JAM website. The choice of the appropriate test paper(s) is the responsibility of the candidate. Some guidelines in this respect are suggested below.

a) The candidate is expected to appear in paper(s) appropriate to the discipline of his/her qualifying degree and/or based on the requirements of the academic programme to which he/she desires to seek admission.

b) The candidate is, however, free to choose any paper according to his/her admission plan, keeping in mind the eligibility criteria of the institutions in which he/she wishes to seek admission.

In all cases, the candidate must go through carefully the Information Brochure and/or the link Eligibility Requirements(ER) & Minimum Educational Qualifications (MEQ) in the website and check the ER and MEQ of the programme(s) in which the candidate wishes to seek admission before deciding on the test paper(s).
