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
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.
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.
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.
