After going through the JEE main syllabus,

students can also analyse the previous years’
JEE Main question papers and the pattern,
which will be highly beneficial in designing a
proper study plan.

Previous Year JEE Main Syllabus Analysis

The questions from Physics were more calculative
than theoretical. Overall, the section was moderate in
terms of difficulty and length. Chemistry was the
easiest compared to the other two sections, with the
difficulty curve quite similar to last year. The questions
were more theoretical and direct, making it the
quickest section to solve. The Mathematics section
was considered the toughest, mainly because of its
lengthiness. The overall difficulty of questions from JEE
Main syllabus was between easy to moderate.

Frequently Asked Questions on JEE

Main Syllabus

Q1 Is the syllabus the same for JEE Main Paper 1 and

Paper 2?

The JEE Main syllabus for Paper 1 is completely

different from Paper 2. Paper 1 will consist of topics
from Maths, Physics and Chemistry, whereas Paper 2
will consist of Maths, aptitude and a drawing test.

Q2 Will the topics be the same as the CBSE Classes 11

and 12 syllabi?

The JEE Main syllabus is similar to the CBSE Classes

11 and 12 syllabi. However, the concepts and topics
discussed in JEE are of a very high level, and
candidates require adept problem-solving as well as
analysing skills.

Q3 Is it necessary to go through the JEE Main

syllabus?

Candidates, if they want to score higher marks and stay

ahead in the competition, should not ignore the
syllabus. They should read the syllabus thoroughly. This
will help in developing a strong preparation strategy, and
candidates will also gain valuable insights into the exam
pattern, important chapters, and topics, weightage of
marks, objective of the entire course, etc.
