- Mechanics is a topic that is considered to be low on scoring by most experts but forms the major portion of the JEE (Main) in terms of marks allocation. Hence, this topic cannot be neglected.
- Few subjects can fetch high scores and the chapters which must not be ignored are semiconductors, electronics, and communication systems, and electromagnetic waves.
- One must also try to concentrate on other scoring topics such as Optics, Electricity, and Magnetism, to ensure a better score.
- Kinematics and Particle dynamics are essential topics of Mechanics that make constant appearances in the papers.
- Always keep past years' question papers and sample test papers at the reference to understand the pattern of the exam, while solving advanced level problems.
- General trends state that Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism are the most significant topics in terms of the number of questions asked in previous years
- In the decreasing order of marks they carry, here are the different topics of the subject according to their appearance:
-
- Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism (Equal importance)
- Modern Physics
- Optics
- Heat and Thermodynamics and Waves and Sound
- Measurement and errors
- Thermodynamics is central in terms of both Physics and Chemistry, so the laser-sharp focus should be given. It is wise to cover Wave Optics as the first section in ‘Optics’ topic, owing to it being smaller in comparison to Ray Optics and is quick to cover.
- It has been earlier discussed that Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism are essential topics of Physics. Therefore, a clear understanding of the basic concepts of these chapters is imperative for ensuring a good performance. Vector is one concept that students very commonly encounter in dealing with any of these topics, so effort must be taken to understand it properly.
To help you outline the right approach for Physics preparation, we have a few points for your reference:
Prioritize heavy Weightage Chapters
Some chapters of Physics have heavy weightage in the JEE. If you wish to score good marks, it is suggested to go by the weightage of chapters in JEE. Since Physics is vast, it is advised to prioritize the important chapters depending on their weightage in the exam. Most of the Physics questions in JEE are from Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Thermal Physics, Fluid, waves & sounds, Optics, Potentiometer-related experiments, and Modern Physics.

Q: How to crack JEE Mains in first attempt?
Hi aspirant!
Clearing the JEE Main exam in first attempt is not a difficult task. If we see the year over year statistics, the ratio of students who clear JEE Main in first attempt is high in comparison to students who dropped a year after class 12. One thing that makes it easy to clear JEE Main with class 12 is that students are in regular touch of most JEE syllabus. To score good marks in JEE Main in the first attempt, it is advised that you study class 11 and 12 topics thoroughly, clear all the concepts and solve mock test papers. Also, NCERT books which you study in class 11 and 12 are the best books for JEE Main preparation. Students must study NCERT properly and solve all the questions in the book and do not memorize the concepts as some students do rather understand the concepts.
Hope this cleared your doubt. Best wishes!
