Q:   In how much time can I complete the entire JEE Main syllabus?

A:
The time required to cover JEE Main syllabus would vary for every student however, to complete the entire JEE Main syllabus, students would require around 1 year. The ideal time to start preparing for JEE Main is class 12 as the syllabus for JEE and class 12 is similar. Students who are studying in class 12 can point out the topics that are common in both and pay special emphasis to that.

Is the JEE Main Syllabus reduced?

The syllabus of JEE Main 2025 has been released by the NTA. No change has been made to the JEE Mains syllabus this year. NTA reduced the syllabus of the JEE Mains exam last year by removing several topics from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The reduced syllabus is similar to the NCERT/CBSE Class 11 and 12 syllabus. Questions in the JEE Main exam will be asked as per the JEE Main syllabus. The deleted topics from the JEE Main syllabus are provided below:

Q:   What is the weightage of class 11 and 12 chapters in JEE Main syllabus?

A:
As per the official syllabus of JEE Main released by NTA no weightage is set for class 11 and 12 chapters.

There is no official number on JEE Main weightage but candidates need to study the whole syllabus released by the NTA in order to score good marks in the exam. However, as per the previous years paper analysis, some chapters have high weightage in exam.

Q:   Is the syllabus of JEE Mains reduced?

A:
The syllabus of JEE Main 2025 has been released. The NTA has not made any changes to JEE Main syllabus 2025. The syllabus contains 64 chapters, with 16 in math, 20 in physics, and 28 in chemistry. The JEE Main 2025 syllabus PDF is available on the National Testing Agency (NTA) website and JEE Main 2025 portal. The NTA removed a few topics last year from JEE Mains syllabus which include: 
  • Mathematics: Mathematical Induction and Mathematical Reasoning units have been removed from the syllabus of Mathematics.

However, it's important to note that the number of chapters may vary slightly from year to year, depending on the specific syllabus released by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Therefore, it is recommend referring to the official JEE Main website or the syllabus PDF provided by the NTA for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Q:   Can I complete JEE Main syllabus in 6 months?

A:
JEE Mains syllabus can be completed in 6 months considering the topics had already been studied in class 11 and 12. As the topics in JEE Main syllabus and class 11/12 topics are similar, students can easily complete the revision in 6 months. However, completing the syllabus does not mean the completing the preparation. Students need to solve previous year questions and mock tests as well as study other reference /NCERT books for clearing the concepts.

Q:   Is JEE Main syllabus same for B.Tech, B.Arch and Plan?

A:
The syllabus for JEE Main Paper 1 (BE/B.Tech), Paper 2A B.Arch and Paper 2B B. Plan is different. JEE Main paper 1 exam is conducted for admission to BE/B.Tech, Paper 2A for B.Arch and Paper 2B is conducted for B. Plan courses. JEE Main paper 1 syllabus consists of Physics Chemistry and Mathematics. Paper 2A syllabus has Mathematics, General Aptitude and Drawing while Paper 2B syllabus has Mathematics, General Aptitude and Planning.

JEE Main 2025 Preparation Tips

The JEE Main preparation plan consists of an overall strategy to crack the JEE Main 2025 exam, the best study material, quality mock tests, previous years' JEE Main papers, and a timetable to study. It is important for candidates to work and study smartly and follow an efficient method of preparation. One of the best ways to start with the JEE Main preparation is to learn from the books and analyse and solve previous year's JEE Main question papers. With the help of past-year question papers, candidates will be able to understand the weightage of the chapters asked in the exam and prepare accordingly. Also, listening to the previous year's JEE Main Toppers may help in strategizing the preparation. Check below some of the preparation tips and trics for JEE Main 2025.

  • It is important to have a thorough understanding of the JEE Main syllabus during the preparation journey. The JEE Main Syllabus is prepared based on NCERT textbooks.
  • Revise frequently, and it should be a part of the study plan.
  • Plan study time as per the weightage given to the various topics in the JEE Main Question Paper.
  • If possible, prepare notes for each chapter, which will help with quick revision before the examination.
  • Candidates must take several mock tests for more practice and to help understand the JEE Main question paper pattern.
  • Clear all the doubts immediately. Don't linger on the doubts. If doubts are not cleared, then it will be difficult to learn more about the topics if you have doubts.
  • Avoid distractions as much as possible, including social networking bias.
  • Study regularly and don't skip the timetable.
  • Practice time management, which will help candidates utilise three hours in the examination hall effectively without anxiety.

Chemistry: Surface Chemistry, States of Matter, General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals, s-block elements, Hydrogen, Environmental Chemistry, Alcohol Phenol and Ether, and Polymers chapters were removed.

Physics: In Physics, the Communication Device unit was removed from the syllabus. 

Mathematics: Mathematical Induction and Mathematical Reasoning units were removed. 

Q. What are the main subjects of JEE Main 2025?

A. The JEE Main Exam consists of three subjects, namely, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In the JEE Main exam, questions are prepared from all three subjects with an equal weight of 33%. The JEE main syllabus for all three subjects is as per the CBSE/NCERT textbooks of classes 11 and 12. 

Q. Where a candidate get JEE Main 2025 Syllabus PDFs?

A. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will release the syllabus for JEE Main 2025 on its official website. NTA revised the syllabus of JEE Main, and a few chapters were removed that were not included in classes 11 and 12 topics of Physics Chemistry and Mathematics in 2024.
