Introduction

f you dream to pursue engineering from one of the IITs, then cracking JEE
Main becomes mandatory for you. Conducted once a year, the entrance

at various centres across India and abroad. If you know the Most Important
Topics and Books of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry for JEE Main, then
it will definitely help you to score more in the most coveted engineering entrance exam.
With the days ticking off and JEE Main exam day approaching near, it is
time for students to brush up the important topics of each subject- Physics,
Chemistry and Mathematics. The Question Paper of JEE Main is structured
in such a way that tests the aptitude, analytical, logical and reasoning skills
of students. So, it becomes vital that aspirants plan their preparation in the
right direction in order to excel in the exam.
This is the time when students should be working to strengthen the important topics of each subject, as not all topics carry equal weightage of marks.

weightage is recommended by various coaching experts.

Even JEE Main Toppers revealed that they also devoted more time on studying the important topics. Kushal Babel, who got 345 marks out of 360 in JEE
Main, says, I revised important notes of Chemistry subject on daily basis. For
Physics & Mathematics, it was routine practice of solving physics numerical
and mathematical questions keeping in mind the time deadline.
Coaching experts also advise to focus more on the important topics of JEE
Main Syllabus. Shailendra Maheshwari, Director (Academics), Career Point,
advises, Aspirants shall solve last years papers and refer to NCERT Exemplar.
Important derivations and formulas should be on their tips. They must prepare notes, diagrams and ready reckoner side by side for revision of important
topics.
For benefitting JEE Main aspirants, Careers360 brings here the list of Most
Important Topics and Books for JEE Main Preparation as recommended by
various coaching experts. Preparing complete JEE Main Syllabus is important. But if these recommended topics of each subject are prepared with extra
dedication and efforts, then there are good chances of securing a good score
in JEE Main.

Why focus more on

Important Topics?

xperts and toppers opine in unison that devoting extra time on

strengthening important topics is a must to do practice, if you want
to achieve a good score in JEE Main exam. Read below top five reasons

why every JEE Main aspirant should focus more on such topics-

Reason 1: Important Topics Carry More weightage:

Important topics are those topics that carry more marks in the exam. Students
appearing for JEE Main should know that not all topics carry equal weightage
of marks. Some topics carry more marks, while others dont. Devoting much
of your time on such important topics is recommended. You just need to identify such topics and practice them more.
Mr. Shailendra Maheshwari, Director of Career Point suggests, Devote your
time to topics as per their weightage from the examination point of view.
For example, in JEE Main Physics Syllabus, the theory part (section A) has
80% weightage while the practical component (section B) holds 20% weightage.

Reason 2: Important Topics Lead to Overall Good Score:

You should practise important topics more because if you have understood
the concept behind these key topics well, then you will be able to solve a major part of the JEE Main Question Paper correctly, which will ultimately lead
you towards getting a good score.
Mr. Ramesh Batlish, who is the Center Head- FIITJEE (Noida center), says,
Practice as much as you can. That will help in strengthening all important
concepts. Brushing up important formulae in all three subjects is a must for
every JEE aspirant.

Reason 3: Important Topics Form the Core of Subject:

Every portion of the JEE Main Syllabus is important, but there are certain
topics in every subject that form the basis of entire subject and can serve the
purpose of scoring well.
Mr. Aakash Chaudhry, Director, Aakash Institute, says, These topics can be
applied in all other chapters, and therefore, having a thorough understanding
of these is very important.
Thus, if you have gone through these more important topics thoroughly,
then you can probably attempt questions from other chapters too.

Reason 4: Important Topics Develop Deeper Understanding:

Being an engineering aspirant, simply qualifying in JEE Main exam should
not be your only goal. You should also aim for understanding these topics
thoroughly as this will help you in future also whether you opt to go for further studies or job. Knowledge of these topics develops deeper understanding
of the subject and it will be beneficial in your engineering career or higher
studies.

Reason 5: Important Topics help in JEE Advanced Preparation

Simultaneously:
Practising the important topics for JEE Main will also be helpful in side by
side preparation of JEE Advanced. If you have managed to secure your position among the top 2 lakh candidates in JEE Main, then you will be eligible to
appear in JEE Advanced. Thorough studies of these important topics will be
beneficial during JEE Advanced preparation. Thus, focusing more on important topics will serve dual-purpose for you.
