Is Mathematics compulsory after completion of graduation in B.Sc Chemistry to fill the IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc) exam form? I have completed my B.Sc however, I did not have Mathematics as one of my major subjects.

JAM refers to Joint Admission Test and it is held for offering admission in M.Sc ( Master of Science ) in various discipline across different IITs.
