What a revision round is
A round is one pass through a unit you have already finished once. The first pass has its own column, First pass finished on, and the six Round columns hold the passes after it, one date each. AspirantGoal counts rounds the same way: repeating a completed stage starts the next round, so Revision round 2 follows Revision round 1. The glossary has the app's definition.
Using the sheet
- Write the date you finished the first pass in First pass finished on. Tick the unit on the IIT JAM syllabus tracker and the date appears here by itself.
- Go through the unit again. Answer its prompt from memory before you open your notes, then write the date in the next free Round column.
- Write how much you could recall in Recall at last round: Weak, Partly or Solid in the Excel file, or any mark you like on paper.
- Choose the gap to the next round from that: longer after a good answer, shorter after a poor one. Write the date in Next round on, or let the Excel file work it out.
On this page you can also tick a round: the date fills in, your ticks stay in this browser and nothing is sent anywhere. The Excel file adds the totals and works out Next round on from four gaps in days that you type in the yellow cells. It picks no gap for you.
Choosing the gap between rounds
Two methods are rated highest in a 2013 review by Dunlosky and colleagues: testing yourself from memory and spreading study over time. A 2006 review by Cepeda and colleagues found that the best gap between sessions grows with the time until the test. The studies do not give a best gap or a best number of rounds for a particular syllabus, so the sheet leaves both to you. The revision guide has the sources, a worked example and what the studies do not show.
How long one round takes
One round is 46 units. These are sums, not advice about pace, and the time a unit takes is yours to measure:
- At 2 units a day, one round takes 23 days.
- At 4 units a day, one round takes 12 days.
- At 6 units a day, one round takes 8 days.
For hours instead of days, the syllabus hours calculator takes the same units.
Where the units come from
The units are the ones on the IIT JAM syllabus tracker, copied from the documents of the Indian Institutes of Technology, which the IIT JAM page lists with the date we checked each one. Checked on 23 October 2026. The exam body's current notice is the authority: syllabus units can change, so compare this sheet with it and edit what differs. AspirantGoal is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Indian Institutes of Technology or any exam authority.

Questions about the IIT JAM revision tracker
Is there a free IIT JAM 2027 revision tracker as a PDF and an Excel file?
Yes. This page has one row for each of the 46 units in 7 subjects, with six round columns beside each one, and the same sheet to download as Excel, CSV and PDF. The tracker is free, needs no sign-up and carries the AspirantGoal mark in every format.
What is a revision round in this tracker?
A round is one pass through a unit you have already finished once. You write the date in the next free Round column of that unit. AspirantGoal counts rounds the same way: repeating a completed stage starts the next round, so Revision round 2 follows Revision round 1.
How many revision rounds does IIT JAM need?
No document from the Indian Institutes of Technology says, and the research this site cites gives a direction, not a count. The six columns are room, not a target. How many rounds a unit gets, and how far apart they are, is for you to set from how well you can recall it.
How long does one round of the IIT JAM sheet take?
That depends on how many units you go through in a day. The sheet has 46 units, so at 2 units a day one round takes 23 days, at 4 a day 12 days and at 6 a day 8 days. These are sums, not advice on pace: a unit may be a set of questions or a list of prompts, and the time it takes is yours to measure.
Does this tracker use the dates from the IIT JAM syllabus tracker?
On this site, yes. When you tick a unit as finished on the IIT JAM syllabus tracker, its date appears in First pass finished on here. Both pages keep your ticks in this browser and send nothing anywhere. The downloaded files do not link to each other.
Where are the IIT JAM units copied from?
From the documents of the Indian Institutes of Technology, which the IIT JAM page lists with the page or paragraph for each fact. They were checked on 23 October 2026.
