IIT JAM 2025 Topic-Wise Weightage
Understanding the IIT JAM 2025 Topic -Wise Weightage will make the preparation more effective and is considered a strategic move by the aspirants. Weightage distribution by chapter is based on the number of questions asked from every chapter in previous years of examinations. It is important to know that this weightage could change every year; hence, students should not solely rely upon it to decide their study plans. Apart from that, students can also use the chapter-wise weightage to determine their strengths and weaknesses.
