JOINT ADMISSION TEST, (JAM 2010) FOR M.Sc. Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D, M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree programmes at INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY
What is this all about?
JOINT ADMISSION TEST FOR M.Sc. 2010
Admission to M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D, M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree programmes at the INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through an Act of
Parliament. All over the world, theIITs are well known for quality education in engineering and science, and research in frontier areas. The aim of the IITs is to build a sound foundation of knowledge, pursue excellence and enhance creativity in an 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 students to pursue Research and Development careers in frontier areas of basic sciences as well as in 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 - 05, the Indian Institutes of Technology have started conducting a Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. (JAM). The objective of JAM is to provide
admissions to various M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.- Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree
programmes at the IITs based on the performance in a single test, and to 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 normalizing undergraduate level science education in the country. The M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D, M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree programmes at the IITs offer high quality education in their respective disciplines, comparable to the best in the world. The curricula for these programmes are designed to provide the students with opportunities to develop academic talent leading to a
challenging and rewarding professional life. The curricula are regularly updated at each IIT. The interdisciplinary content of the curricula equips the students with the ability to utilize scientific knowledge for practical applications. The medium of instruction in all the programmes is English.
GENERAL INFORMATION
(a) The JAM 2010 is open to all nationals (Indian/Foreign).Candidates seeking admission to academic programmes covered under JAM 2010 need to appear in JAM 2010. There is no age restriction.
(b) For admission, foreign nationals will be required to satisfy the rules and regulations of the admitting
Institute(s) pertaining to foreign students. For further details, they are advised to contact the Admitting

The International Symposium on Biocomputing(ISB 2010), in cooperation with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) to be held in Calicut Kerala
International Symposium on Biocomputing
Organizing Institutes
1. National Institute of Technology Calicut, India
2. Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, USA
The last decade has witnessed a spurt in life science research with the advent of high throughput instrumentation technologies. The staggering volume of data generated from different “omics” experiments has stymied integration of experimental procedures and computational activities. In the present global scientific arena, bioinformatics has thus evolved as a complementary tool to biologists, assisting in interpretation of experimental data and also providing important leads for further experimental research.
The International Symposium on Biocomputing, in cooperation with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), invites researchers from computer science, life science and statistics areas to a common platform for exchanging ideas/hypotheses, to promote future collaborations towards the development of improved and highly efficient bioinformatics tools. The symposium is also expected to witness the initiation of multidisciplinary interactions which will eventually blur the boundaries between in vivo, in vitro and in silico analytical procedures and thus help to gain deeper understanding of macromolecular interactions which ultimately define any biological system.
Keynote speaker
ISB 2010 is proud to announce the Keynote speaker for the Symposium, , Prof. Eric Jakobsson PhD, Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology, Biophysics, Bioengineering and Neuroscience at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
