How I secured AIR 55 JAM & AIR 26 JEST

with BSc level Physics | PAE blog
By Shashank balakumar Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Hi guys,

I'm Bala Kumar. This is a short and to the point description of how I went
about preparing for JAM and JEST. [Check out the elaborate posts here if that's
what you are looking for]

IIT JAM Preparation-Vaibhav Sharma (AIR - 5)

On preparing for IIT-JAM Physics -Niket Shah (AIR - 6)

I started preparing 7-8 months before JAM and I’d say that’s more than enough
time to easily crack the exam. I took coaching from Career Endeavor but I’d say
it’s not worth it because they go slowly and in a haphazard manner. I’d highly
recommend their books though.

Sources

First things rst, if recommend starting off with

Khan Academy videos on vector calculus: To get a good

intuition for curl, divergence, and gradient. This will help you a lot with
EMT and vector calculus. 
R Shankar’s lectures on YouTube. His lectures will help build a
 great foundation. 
Career endeavor material to read up on Kinetic theory of gases, Maxwell
equations(thermodynamics), statistical mechanics (basically any topic
that Shankar doesn’t cover, read through career endeavor material). 
Khan Academy videos on doppler and organ pipes. 
For Ray optics, once you’re done with Shankar, watch some IIT-JEE videos
on lens combination formulae. 

Old Papers
                  Once you’re con dent that you know a topic, do past year JAM
questions, they’re a good way of testing your concepts. Remember you don’t
have to do every topic. If you feel you’re having to memorize too much (this
will be a problem later), leave a few topics. Towards the end, I just solved the
past year JAM papers including the subjective ones and the career endeavor
papers. If you aren’t preparing for JEST or TIFR, don’t go into too much in the
depths of quantum mechanics, Shankar should be enough.

For JEST
             I just watched the 3rd and 4th lectures of the theoretical minimum
series on classical mechanics by Leonard Susskind which was the only extra
prep I did speci cally for JEST. But I wouldn’t recommend this kind of prep for
JEST, I just got lucky that some of the topics they typically ask from weren’t
asked this time.
[Refer to the excellent and elaborate posts below for a JEST preparation]

⭐A complete JAM & JEST preparation guide from AIR 22 JAM & 54 JEST
holder Harshul Gupta
IIT-JAM and JEST preparation - Rishabh Kaushik (AIR 1 in both JAM &
JEST)
How I cracked JEST - Deepmala Wadhwani (AIR - 3)
Books, lectures, and notes for JEST preparation - Chintan Patel (AIR - 6)

Final Word
             I'd nally like to say that memorize as little as possible because, well
the whole charm of physics is in understanding the underlying concepts and
this helps greatly with the tricky questions that may come your way. There
isn't too much depth in these topics but a lot of breadth so memorizing a lot
 p p g
of stuff might get you confused about what formulae to use.
Best of luck.

Sir is Career Endavour study material good for practicing

questions for IIT JAM Physics??
I can read the theory online or pdfs of books...But I need
exam oriented questions to solve for jam
