    Physics is one of the most sought course of choice among students who want to take admission in IITs, IISc, etc. It is for this reason alone that IIT JAM Physics paper is extremely competitive. Thus, when preparing for the Physics paper in JAM exam, candidates are suggested to pay less attention to the number of books from which they are studying and more emphasis on finding the topics that will help them score more.

    To have an effective prep plan for the IIT JAM Physics paper students should have a time-table in place and make notes of important formulas that will make their last-minute preparation easy.
