• Answer:

  Yeah. Why not. This one is a nice book that will help you. You can buy it at http://www.amazon.in/IIT-JAM-M-Sc-Joint-admission-Physics/dp/935012131X Here are some tips for preparation that I mention always. Think it will be helpful. Make a rough plan  to cover up all the chapter (All the chapters should be covered) Do not waste much time on other things such as things out of syllabus Must  do all previous 10-15 years question paper completely. This will help you the most. Never ever lose hope or lose consistency in preparation. Have the confidence you can crack it and start studying. Give more stress on mathematics and 2 mark questions. Keep your fundamentals always clear. Practice as much as you can. The more you get the clear picture of the concepts involved. Discuss with friends. It helps a lot. Remember if your input of study is 4 hours output must be 4 hours In the exam make sure you attempt question in proper manner. Because it is meaning less to prepare well for the exam and do not give the exam properly. Make a down to top approach. Find out the easiest of them. It is not necessarily that it should be from your favourite chapter. Do the problems according the level of ease. Attempt those about which you are sure. Never ever stuck on a single problem. Be clear about the think which are asked in question. Stay focused. Because These are the hours for which you have prepared a lot.
