FAQs

For IIT JAM, is HC Verma enough?

You must undoubtedly answer the HC Verma questions, however you should be aware that JAM uses key crucial calculating techniques (such as curl, divergence, and Hamiltonian) that are not used in HC Verma questions because that book is for your 11th and 12th grade coursework, not graduation.

What percentage of IIT JAM is given over to mathematical physics?

Students need to know everything about the exam, including how much weight each chapter has, in order to study for it well. At IIT JAM 2025, Solid State Physics, Electronic Devices, and Boolean Algebra comprise 20%, followed by Mathematical Physics at 15%.

Dear Student, 

The GATE Life Sciences (XL) marks vs rank trend over recent years shows that scoring 70+ to 80 marks typically places a candidate within the top 1 to 3 ranks, while marks in the 60 to 70 range secure ranks between 4 and 25. Marks between 50 and 60 correspond to ranks 26 to 237, and scores of 40 to 50 generally fall between ranks 238 and 1619. The qualifying cutoff for the general category has fluctuated between roughly 29 to 36 marks from 2018 to 2024, influenced by factors such as exam difficulty and the number of …

Dear Student,

Yes, SVIMS offers fee reimbursement for M.Sc. Allied Health Sciences if you meet certain criteria, such as your category (SC/ST/BC/EWS), being a resident of Andhra Pradesh, and submitting the required documents during counseling. The reimbursed amount may not cover the full fee, so you might need to pay the remaining balance. Please check with the SVIMS admissions office for exact details.
