The Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. (JAM) is an admission test to Master of Science (M.Sc.) and other post-graduate science programs at the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and other institutes. IITs started conducting the JAM in the 2004 - 2005 academic session. The main objective of JAM is to provide admissions to various M.Sc., M.Sc.-Ph.D. dual-degree and other post-graduate programs based on the performance in a single test. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for normalising undergraduate-level science education in the country.
As of 2014, the following are the full-time M.Sc. (two-year), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree, M.Sc.-M.Tech., and other post-bachelor's degree programs at different IITs, and Integrated Ph.D. Programs at IISc to which admission shall be made on the basis of JAM.[1]

Following are the result-sharing institutes which use JAM scores:
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata
Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad
National Institute of Technology, Srinagar
Candidates who couldn't participate in IIT JAM Counselling procedure due to less eligible score for IITs and IISc, they can take part in Centralized Counselling for M.Sc. Programs(CCMN). By this procedure they get admission in NITs and CFITs for M.Sc. courses.
