According to the eligibility criteria, for a Candidate to appear for M.Sc Mathematics for IIT JAM, he/she should have completed Bachelor's degree with Mathematics as a subject atleast for 2 years or 4 semesters. But if you have studied only 3 Semesters, unfortunately, you might not be qualified for IIT JAM. Please read our article for more information: https://university.careers360.com/articles/jam-eligibility-criteria

Hi,

Well if you opt for biological sciences then obviously your question paper won't have mathematics questions because your syllabus would be different from the one going for enginnering major or other subjects. So check once agin to be sure.

I hope my answer helps.

All the best.

hi,

see the syllabus is totally different, like in engineering mathematics there is tran form theory part is included of laplace transform, Fourier transform, z transform.

but in mathematics syllabus, the syllabus has many more topics added in differential equation, topology, and in numerical analysis.

follow the below link to know about full syllabus,

Hi,

GATE 2020 Mathematics Syllabus. The syllabus of Mathematics subject in GATE 2020 consists of various topics. These topics are Calculus, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Ordinary Differential Equations, Algebra, Functional Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Topology, and Linear Programming.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

1st year B.Sc. degree Mathematics as some common chapters to engineering Mathematics. They are differential equation,linear algebra and calculus.

In engineering mathematics there are many different concepts like:- Asymptote,Curvature, Differentiation(Major part),Series(Power series),Linear algebra,Systems of equation, Matrices.

These concepts might be there in B.Sc. but may be not in one particular semester. They are divided into modules and are taught in particular semester. This is due to the course completely focuses on pure mathematics.

So concepts are same but the depth level is different.

Hope it helps!
