JAM or Joint Admission test for Masters is an admission test to M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programs at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), as you are asking about your preparation then for it I would like to say that IIT JAM Geology Entrance Exam covered, Geomorphology, Mineralogy, Economic Geology, topics and for your batter prepration here I am sharing IIT JAM Geology Entrance Exam syllabus, question paper and name of some reference books

IIT JAM Geology Entrance Exam syllabus
