Also do practice previous year papers in order to test your skills in problems and to get accustomed with pattern of the paper.

Some of the books which are said to be the classic books for IIT JAM/JEST/TIFR are :

• Mechanics: 'David Morin','AB GUPTA' JC UPADHYAY, GOLDSTEIN
• Waves: 'NK BAJAJ'
• Quantum Physics (all the books are relevant to all the exams): Griffiths, Beiser, Resnick-Eisberg, Zetilli, Arhuldas(problem solving)
• Atomic Physics: Rajkumar
• Mathematical Methods: ML BOAS, HK DASS
• Electronics: VK MEHETA (Both Digital and Analog)
• Statistical Physics & Thermodynamics: BANSAL & GHOSH, Zemansky
• Electrodynamics: Purcell, Griffiths
• For problem solving you may use the books by Samvedna Publishers

Hello pooja,

The cutoff for IIT in physics is around 20.70-22.70.

But it will be better if you score more than 24.70 as then you will definitely get admission in IIT through JAM.

The cutoff rank for JAM IIT is from 1-69 for general

For OBC it's between 124-272.

For SC/ST is 192-926.

Specifically for IIT Bhuvneshwar the cutoff rank is 272-393 for general.

For more details you can also ask for specific college so that we can help you further.

I hope it helps,

Best of luck
