Admission to Integrated Mathematics programmes consists of 2 stages. The 1st stage is an entrance examination. The syllabus and exam pattern are enlisted at: http://univ.tifr.res.in/gs2020/Files/Maths_Syllabus.pdf . The exam pattern is MCQs and True or False. The syllabus includes topics like Algebra, Analysis, Toplogy and General. The chapter wise topics are available in the link. You need to practise them in English if not for the entrance exam but atleast for studying Masters. This is because the medium of instruction will be in English. During the interview, they do not check your communication skills but they check for your subject knowledge. So they might understand that you are coming from Hindi Medium and might be okay if you answer questions in Hindi too. But should you be shortlisted for Interview, please ask their permission if you can answer in Hindi.

Hello aspirant. Tifr is really one of the tough exams and competition is ofcourse stiff. But if you well plan and prepare, definitely you would be able to place yourself in a good place

1, first know the entire syllabus and divide into parts. Not just the syllabus, each and every topic and note it down. Don't look syllabus in a widee way, as in, donot generalise and put the topics, narrow down and note down each topic and sub topic. This would help you not to waste time

2. Plan your day according and finish that particular topic planned by taking notes. Mark the difficult ones and make sure once you know easy ones, you remember them for long time

Organize the entire syllabus and divide that. Leave the parts related to memorizing to the early morning and math related to nights

3. Take as many as mock tests you can. Nite down your mistakes and learn concepts. Make new mistakes every time. But remember, don't repeat the old mistakes. Previous year questions solve them and practice to your best

If you are able to use your time productively through self preparation then you donot need to go for coaching. If you were not able to coz of work or other things, then I would suggest you to go for coaching

All the best

Hi

Here I'll give a brief comparison between two of these exams

TIFR GS

This exam is conducted on the first week of December

IIT JAM

This exam is conducted on the first week of February

now TIFR GS is a little harder here due to its timing. Because most of us have their semester exams on December or November so preparing for TIFR GS along with semester exams is difficult.On the other hand IITJAM has a quite good timing. Because the even semester starts on May .

Now TIFR GS is conceptual exam.

IIT JAM is formula based exam.

So here if you have a clear concept but you don't memorize formulae TIFR GS would be easy for you.

But if your subject knowledge is not that good but you practice a lot and have memorized every formulae IITJAM is easy for you.

Another thing is that TIFR GS is a two stage exam .You have to give written exam and interview.But IIT JAM is only an  exam of 3 hrs.

So these are the pros and cons .

Hope this helps
