You have completed BCA degree from SMU so you are eligible for IIT JAM 2015 exam.

That's because the minimum educational qualification required for IIT JAM 2015 exam is graduation degree. Your graduation degree marks must be above 50%.

Yes, Of course the BCA candidates can apply for the JAM (Joint Admission Test) exam for taking admission in MCA program in IITs. Only IIT Roorkee is offering admission in the Master in Computer Application (MCA) program.

And for that you have to clear the JAM 2015. To become eligible for JAM 2015 exam, one should have completed their bachelor degree with maths for at least one year (annual system) or at least two papers of mathematics in semester system.

One must have scored at least 55% marks in their graduation. However, there is relaxation in percentages for reserved category up to 5%.

The JAM 2015 had been conducted by the IIT Guwahati this year. It is computer based online exam. All the questions are of the objective type.

Although it is objective type, it is divided in the three patterns name MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions), MSQs (Multiple Select Questions) and NAT (Numerical Answer Type).

So, wait for the next exam notification and prepare hard for it.

No.you can not apply for MCA through JAM 2015.
JAM is the exam for getting admission in M.sc/M.tech in specified course after completion of bachelor degree in specified course.

As per information, JAM Exam is for M.Sc course not for MCA course. MCA entrance examination are TANCET, SRMEEE, VITEEE, MHA MCA.

JAM exam is for the candidates who are looking to do M.Sc., M.Sc.-M.Tech., MS. from IITs or IISC Bangalore. Since you have done BCA you are not eligible to take the exam. Only B.Sc. students are eligible to take this exam and get admission in one of these institutes.

I am afraid to say that you can not sit for JAM exam 2015 anymore as the registration procedure of the exam is over and the exam got conducted on February 08, 2015 (Sunday). But there's no need to lose heart over it. You can prepare for the exam and sit for the exam next year.

But if you have already given the exam and awaiting the result then tell me tell you that the results will come out on March 19, 2015 (Thursday).

If anyone wants to opt for masters degree or PhD degree from reputed institutes like IITs then one needs to sit for JAM or Joint Admission Test which is an All India examination. Apart from applying for MSc or PhD there are several other programmes to opt for like Joint M.Sc-Ph.D, M.Sc-Ph.D. dual degree, M.Sc-M.Tech., M.Sc-M.S. and so on.

The eligibility criteria for this exam usually differs from one institute to the other:-

For IISc Bangalore: At graduation level you need to have first class if you are a general or OBC category candidate and at least 50% of marks if you are an SC/ST or PWD candidate.

For all other IITs: You need to get at least 55% of marks without rounding off by taking all the subjects, including languages and subsidiaries, all years combined into account.

For SC/ST and PwD Category candidates the percentage to attain is 50% in aggregate.

As far as the exam pattern is concerned the questions are set for the exam from the following seven papers: Biological Sciences (BL), Biotechnology (BT), Chemistry (CY), Geology (GG), Mathematics (MA) , Mathematical Statistics (MS) and Physics (PH).

Basically objective type of questions will be asked and questions are set in three formats which are as follows:-

• Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
• Multiple Select Questions (MSQ)
• Numerical Answer Type (NAT) Questions

In the MCQ type questions you need to only choose the right answer from the four options given. The MSQ type questions are slightly different where there can be one or more right answer from the four choices given. And lastly, the NAT is the numerical questions where the answer needs to be given by you and there will be no choices to assist you.
