A:

The JEE Main syllabus consists of

  • 20 Chapters in Physics
  • 28 Chapters in Chemistry
  • 16 Chapters in 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).

A:
As per the official syllabus of JEE Main released by NTA no weightage is set for class 11 and 12 chapters. Candidates must note that all the topics of CBSE class 11 and 12 Physics Chemistry and Mathematics is included in the JEE Main syllabus. 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.

The syllabus of JEE Mains is not same as JEE Advanced. Candidates must note that JEE Mains and Advanced are two different exam meant for different purposes. JEE Main is conducted for admission to NITs, IIITs and other CFTIs while JEE Advanced is conducted for admission to IITs. In terms of syllabus, although both JEE Mains and Advanced have class 11 and 12 topics of Physics Chemistry and Mathematics, there are some topics which are a part of Mains syllabus but not in Advanced. Also, the difficulty level of JEE Advanced is way ahead of JEE Mains. Students preparing for the JEE Advanced exam can download the syllabus from the Shiksha page.

To get computer related branch the last year cutoff rank was almost 1.3lakh. The cutoff vary differently every year so this is a rough idea. The cutoff depends upon the number of students appering, difficulty of question paper. You can't get most accurate numbers.
