I am a B.Tech ECE 2nd year student. Is it beneficial for me to prepare for IIT JAM?

Hello Shweta, For post graduate engineering programs, you need to write GATE (graduate aptitude test in Engineering). IIT JAM is for M.Sc, MCA courses etc. So, you can prepare for GATE Exam.

IIT JAM is an exam for B.Sc student mostly, but there are a few engineering students every year who take a turn and move in this direction. Now, benefits of IIT JAM are: IIT Mathematics (as you can't get Physics and Chemistry being an engineering Graduate). Lower competition than GATE, but again it's a new arena for an engineering student for odds aren't the real problem, and the most important, even if it's tough, a Bachelors in Engineering especially non-core like ECE/CSE with Masters in Mathematics is a rare and deadly combination for academic and industrial requirements. I myself is on the same boat, and therefore I know the feeling and I did some research and these are a few of the things I found. One more thing, you should have studied mathematics, any form for at least 4 semesters to get into IITs (most of the courses), just make sure your university curriculum have that.
