What is the difference between GATE and IIT JAM?

No, both are different exams. GATE is related to engineering students, which make you to get PSU's or admission in different IIT, NIT and other colleges. IIT JAM is for the students who pursue B.Sc and get M.Sc after this exam.

Hello, No, they are not same. GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is an all India entrance exam which allows candidates to apply for IITs, NITs, IISc, and a few other applied sciences institutes/universities. GATE exam can only be given by the candidates with applied Science degrees like B.E and B.Tech, to pursue M.Tech and M.Sc by research integrated Ph.D and direct Ph.D programmes. IIT JAM (Joint Admission test for M.Sc) is an all India entrance exam which allows candidates to apply for IITs, IISERs, IISc, and NITs.

No, they are not. GATE is for post graduate engineering studies, while IIT JAM is for post graduate arts and sciences courses like M.Sc. But, both these are used for admission into top ranking colleges in India.
