• JAM 2024 – 24.56

• JAM 2023 – 24.9

• JAM 2022 – 22.9

• JAM 2021 – 33.65

For OBC and SC/ST categories, the cutoffs will be slightly lower. However, the final cutoff will depend on the overall difficulty level of the paper.

Alternative Options – CUET PG (MSc Entrance)

If your IIT JAM score isn’t as expected, do not worry. You still have a great opportunity to secure admission in top universities such as:

• Delhi University (DU)

The CUET PG (Common University Entrance Test for MSc) will be conducted from March 13 onwards. You still have one full month to prepare.

Many Central Universities provide quality education and research opportunities equivalent to IITs. If your JAM score isn’t as high, prepare for CUET PG as a backup option.
