JEE Mains Syllabus – All You Need to Prepare

Abraham Lincoln once said, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe."

Planning and strategizing things should be your first move if you are stepping ahead towards making your career with IIT JEE Exam.

Start from scratch if you wish to bag victory, the basic element needed is an updated and accurate JEE Mains Syllabus from which questions are expected in the JEE Mains Exam. Noting down important things and analyzing different topics would be the best approach.

Some key facts of JEE Mains Syllabus to align your hard work and preparation in the right direction are written below.

• The syllabus will be having level similar to your 10+2 level.
• The topics that you will cover in class 11th and 12th books will help in constructing the base for JEE Main 2018 syllabus.
• But, you must give a thorough look upon the complete syllabus as there are some topics that could differ from your academic syllabus.

As per the JEE Mains Exam Pattern 2018, there will be 3 sections in Mains Paper 1 i.e. Physics, Mathematics & Chemistry, it is advised to deal with all the 3 sections with equal attention without neglecting any subject. Follow the same for Paper – 2 as well.

In JEE Mains exam, concepts taught in the NCERT textbooks will matter a lot while attempting the paper because the questions are usually picked up directly from there. Less amount of level of thinking is required to attempt these questions as about 30% of them are easy. However, “time constraint” is the biggest challenge faced by students and a lot of practice is required for scoring well in this exam.

The JEE Mains Syllabus is mapped according to the syllabus of NCERT textbooks to ensure uniformity and standard across the country. List of topics covered in the JEE Mains Exam 2018 Syllabus are listed below for both the papers for all the sections respectively.
