Candidates are advised, in their own interest, to refer to the brief profiles of the admitting institutes and departments included in the Information Brochure. Applicants should note that they have to apply for admission by sending an Application Form for Admission (henceforth called Admission Form) only to the Organizing Institute (IIT Bombay).

An applicant can apply to one or more academic programmes corresponding to the test paper(s) in which he/she has qualified, subject to fulfillment of the minimum educational qualifications and the eligibility requirements of the Admitting Institute(s). For the academic session 2012-13, the following admission procedure shall be followed for all the programmes at the IITs covered under JAM 2012.

(i) After JAM 2012 results are announced, a qualified candidate will have to apply on the prescribed Admission Form to the Organizing Institute (IIT Bombay) only, irrespective of the IIT(s) where he/she desires to seek admission. The application form(s) for admission will be sent along with the Score Card to the qualified candidates and can also be downloaded from the website of the Organizing Institute.

(ii) Irrespective of whether a candidate has qualified in one or two test papers, he/she needs to send only one duly completed Admission Form listing all the programmes at the IITs (along with the order of preferences) to which the admission is sought.

(iii) The duly completed application form for admission along with the required enclosures must be sent by the applicant to the Organizing Chairman, JAM 2012, IIT Bombay, Powai, Mumbai – 400 076, along with an Account Payee Demand Draft of Rs. 300/- (Rupees three hundred only), drawn in favour of “Chairman, JAM, IIT Bombay”, payable at Mumbai, as a non-refundable processing fee. The application form for admission will not be considered if it is found incomplete in any respect or if it is not accompanied by a Demand Draft of Rs. 300 and the candidate will not be considered for admission irrespective of his/her eligibility for any programme(s) for which application form for admission has been submitted. Also, a candidate will be considered for admission only to the programme(s), given in his/her Admission Form. The last date for receiving the completed application form(s) for admission along with Demand Draft of Rs. 300 at the Organizing Institute (IIT Bombay) is 30 April 2012.

(iv) Taking into consideration the order of preference as given in the Admission Form and corresponding rank(s) in the merit list, the first Admission List for each programme under JAM 2012 will be prepared by the Organizing Institute and will be announced at 17:00 hours on 25 May 2012.

(v) After the declaration of the first Admission List, admission offers will be sent by the respective Admitting Institute(s) to the candidates concerned on 26 May 2012. Last date for conveying the acceptance of the offer by the candidates to the Organizing Chairman, JAM 2012, IIT Bombay, is 5 June 2012. Along with the acceptance of offer, these candidates will also have to send an advance fee of Rs. 5000/- to the Organizing Chairman through a demand draft in favour of the “Chairman, JAM, IIT Bombay”, payable at Mumbai. This amount will be transferred to the Admitting Institute and this will be adjusted at the time of registration.

(vi) If seats remain vacant after the admission process is over based on the first Admission List, the Organizing Institute will prepare additional admission lists. These lists will be announced by the Organizing Institute and admission offers based on these lists, if any, will be sent by the Admitting Institute(s) to the candidates concerned. The candidates offered admission through the additional lists must report directly to the admitting institute on the date of semester registration. With that the admission process based on JAM 2012 will come to an end.

(vii) If a candidate is allotted a seat through the first admission list and if he/she accepts the offer of admission, his/her lower preferences, if any, will be automatically cancelled. However, he/she will remain on the waiting list for all of his/her higher preferences, if any, in the next two rounds of admissions. Eligible candidates, who are not allotted any seat in the First Admission List, will remain on the waiting list in the next two rounds of admissions. Candidates, who do not want to be considered for higher preference programme(s) in the subsequent rounds of admissions, will have to indicate this in the prescribed form at the time of acceptance of the admission offer. If a candidate fails to accept an admission offer, he/she will not be considered further in the admission process.

Note:

Verification of minimum educational qualifications and the eligibility criteria for admission is the prerogative of the Admitting Institute(s) only and the Organizing Institute will not respond to any queries in this regard.

The offer of admission to a candidate will be provisional, subject to the fulfillment of all the requirements by the dates specified.

Candidates should note that being in the merit list of any Test Paper neither guarantees nor provides any automatic entitlement for admission. Admissions shall be made in order of merit and depending on the number of seats available at the Admitting Institute(s).

Pattern of JAM Test Pappers

2011-10-25T03:53:00.001-07:00

The questions for Biotechnology and Computer Applications test papers will be fully objective type. These test papers have to be answered in an Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by darkening appropriate bubbles using black HB pencil. Since the ORS will be evaluated by electronic means, it is imperative that the instructions given on the ORS are carefully read and followed by the candidates.

All other test papers will be objective-cum-subjective type. There will be a “question-cum-answer booklet” for each of these six test papers. Answers to various questions are to be given at appropriate places in the “question-cum-answer booklet” itself. No supplementary sheet will be provided. In each of these six test papers, objective and subjective questions will carry weightages of 30% and 70%, respectively.

The objective type questions in all the test papers will have four choices as possible answers, of which, only one will be correct. There will be negative marking for wrong answers to the objective type questions in all the test papers. For wrong answer to an objective type question, candidates will get negative 1/3 (negative one third) of the maximum marks assigned to that question.

Note:

Use of logarithmic tables/calculator of any kind/ cellular phone/electronic gadgets is NOT permitted in the examination hall.

All answers to the subjective type questions must be written in blue/ black/ blue- black ink only. Sketch pen, pencil or ink of any other colour is not permitted.

The medium for all the test papers will be English only.

Use of unfair means by a candidate in JAM 2012, whether detected at the time of test, evaluation or at any other stage, will lead to cancellation of his/her candidature as well as disqualification of the candidate from appearing in JAM in future.

Disclosure of identity in any form, such as writing registration number or name inside the question-cum-answer booklet, or making any kind of distinguishing marks, may lead to disqualification of the candidate.
