The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through an Act of Parliament. The IITs are well known, the world over, for quality education in engineering and science, and research in frontier areas. The aim of IITs is to build sound foundation of knowledge, pursue excellence and enhance creativity in intellectually stimulating environment. The current pace of advancement of technology needs a coherent back up of ba­sic science education and research. The vibrant academic ambience and research infrastructure of the IITs motivate the students to pursue Research and Development careers in frontier areas of basic sciences as well as interdiscipli­nary areas of science and technology. IITs have well equipped modern laboratories, efficient computer networks and state of the art libraries. The teaching process is structured to promote close and continuous contact between the faculty and the students. A number of financial assistantships and freeships are available to SC/ST and other deserving and meritorious students at individual institutes.

From the Academic Session 2004 - 2005, Indian Institutes of Technology have started conducting a Joint Admission test for M.Sc. (JAM) for admission to M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programs at the IITs. The main objective of JAM is to provide admissions to various M.Sc., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual degree and other post-B.Sc. programs based on the performance in a single test and consolidate 'Science' as a career option for bright students from across the country. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for normalising undergraduate level science education in the country.

The M.Sc., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual degree and other post-B.Sc. programs at the IITs offer high quality post-B.Sc. education in respective disciplines, comparable to the best in the world. The curricula for these programs are designed to provide the students opportunities to develop academic talent leading to challenging and rewarding professional life.

Directions: Questions 4 - 7 relate to the passage given below:

Visualisation is the three-dimensional, multicoloured, singing-and-dancing version of affirmations that enables the subconscious to prefigure future achievement or success. It is a basic and fundamental human attribute, and one that can literally be the difference between surviving and not surviving.

When Victor Frankl, the Freudian psychologist, was examining the discriminating factors that enabled him, and many like him, to survive in the hell of the Nazi concentration camps, the key factor was the ability to visualise. All survivors had a vision of something beyond their current suffering, something more worthwhile, and something worth hanging on for.

This underlines the importance of each individual having a vision of something, outside and larger than herself, that gives her life some meaning. The very existence of a mission lifts the eyes to something more meaningful and enduring - and in so doing provides something to live for - at times when quiet surrender could be an attractive option. Such a vision gives a further raison d'etre for integrity, by providing a purpose that binds together the core values that make up self-worth.

One of the most powerful - and difficult to achieve - applications of visualisation is to focus your mind daily on the person you intend to become. Create a clear mental picture of that person - and see it in full colour, and add sounds and smells, if they are appropriate. The emotional values you add to the visualisation are vital in making the full connection to your subconscious, which acts only on thoughts that are mixed with emotions. These techniques are, of course, widely validated in fields like sport and business, where the peak performers are nearly all visualisers. They all see, feel, and fully experience their success before they achieve it.
Q. 4: Which of the following statements, in the light of the above passage, is NOT correct?
(A) Visualisation is the affirmation of the subconscious
(B) Visualisation is three dimensional, multicoloured and auditory
(C) Visualisation is a basic and fundamental quality of human mind
(D) Visualisation can make a significant difference in terms of our very existence

(B) Emotional values help one's subconscious to connect to visualisation
(C) Visualisation involves the ability to focus on the person you want to become
(D) The existence of a goal beyond one's current situation gives one a sense of purpose

(B) the most important inference


(C) the most important consequence

This section aims to assess the ability of the examinee to make valid interpretations from a given data set. The section also assesses the ability of the examinee to understand data in different representative forms such as simple tables, histograms, pie charts, graphs, scatter diagrams, etc. Although involved calculations are not expected, simple data manipulations would be required.

There is negative marking for incorrect answers. For a wrong answer to a question, 25% of the marks allotted to that question will be deducted. Moreover, for a candidate to be qualified in JMET 2010, he/she should, not only, secure certain minimum marks in the test paper, but also, should necessarily obtain certain minimum marks in each of the four sections stated above

Without breaking the seal, take out the Objective Response Sheet (ORS) from the Test Booklet and verify that it has the same code printed on it in large letters as on the cover of the Test Booklet. If the two codes do not match, or the Test Booklet does not contain the ORS, the Test Booklet must be exchanged immediately with a new sealed Test Booklet. The candidate must not mark the answers on an ORS having a code different from the code printed on the Test Booklet

6. Fill in all the information required on the right hand side of the ORS and sign where indicated using ballpoint pen. Use HB pencil for darkening the bubbles corresponding to your Registration Number on the ORS. Use extreme caution in filling the appropriate bubbles. Information on the right half of the ORS should be written using ballpoint pen wherever indicated. No distinctive mark of any sort is to be put anywhere on the ORS.

7. Open the seal of the Test Booklet only after been instructed to do so by the invigilator. Each section contains several questions. You should read the directions for each section of the test carefully.

8. The left hand side of the ORS must be filled in with HB pencil only. The answers to the questions are to be marked by darkening the bubbles corresponding to the letters A, B, C or D. A soft eraser should be used for erasing any darkened bubble if required.

9. Nothing should be written either in ink or in pencil, in the space used for printing the Barcode on the ORS. If the candidate tampers with the Barcode, he/she will be disqualified.
