IIT JAM Mathematics Exam Pattern 2027
Section A :
Number of Questions – 30 questions having 10 questions of 1 mark each and 20 questions of two marks each. Each question will have four choices out of which only one choice will be a correct one.
Nature of Questions – Objective type (MCQs)
Exam Mode – Online (CBT)
Exam Medium – The question papers at all exam centers will be in English only.
Marking Scheme – 1 or 2 mark questions
Negative Marking – For each wrong answer of 1 mark questions, 1/3 mark will be deducted and similarly for each wrong answer of 2 marks questions, 2/3 mark will be deducted.
Section B :
Number of Questions – 10 questions only.
Nature of Questions – Multiple Select Questions (MCQs). Each MSQ type question is similar to MCQ but with a difference that there may be one or more than one choice(s) that are correct out of the four given choices.
Exam Mode – Online (CBT)
Exam Medium – The question papers at all exam centers will be in English only.
Marking Scheme – The candidate gets full credit only if he/she selects all the correct answers only and no wrong answers.
Negative Marking – There are no negative and no partial marking provisions.
Section C :
Number of Questions – 20 questions involving 10 questions of one mark each and 10 questions of two marks each.
Nature of Questions – Numerical Answer Type (NAT). For NAT type questions, the answer is a signed real number, which needs to be entered using the virtual numeric keypad on the monitor.
Exam Mode – Online (CBT)
Exam Medium – The question papers at all exam centers will be in English only.
Marking Scheme – For correct answers candidates will get 2 marks.
Negative Marking – There are no negative and no partial marking provisions.Duration : 180 Minutes
