Frequently Asked Questions

Is the JEE Main 2027 syllabus the same as 2026?

The JEE Main syllabus has been stable since the 2024 revision by NTA, which trimmed several chapters from the older syllabus. Unless NTA publishes a fresh notification, the 2027 syllabus is expected to remain identical to 2026. This page will update as soon as the official 2027 syllabus is notified.

How much of the JEE Main syllabus is from Class 11 and Class 12?

Across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, the JEE Main syllabus is roughly split 45 to 55 between Class 11 and Class 12 topics. Class 12 chapters typically carry slightly higher weightage in recent years. See the class-wise breakdown on each subject page.

How many units are there in the JEE Main syllabus?

The JEE Main syllabus has 54 units across three subjects: Mathematics (14 units), Physics (20 units), and Chemistry (20 units). Every unit contains multiple NCERT chapters and sub-topics.

Can I download the JEE Main syllabus as a PDF?

The official JEE Main syllabus PDF is available on the NTA website at jeemain.nta.nic.in. On Fundamenthol, we present the same syllabus in a searchable, chapter-linked format with weightage data from tagged previous year questions.

Which chapters have highest weightage in JEE Main Maths?

Integrals, Three Dimensional Geometry, Application of Derivatives, and Sequences and Series consistently carry the highest weightage, together accounting for about 25 percent of the Maths section. Coordinate Geometry as a whole (straight lines, circles, and conic sections) is also very high-scoring.

How many chapters are in JEE Main Mathematics?

The official JEE Main Mathematics syllabus lists 14 units, but these expand into roughly 26 chapter-level topics such as Complex Numbers, Matrices, Determinants, and the various conic sections.

Is Mathematical Induction still in JEE Main syllabus?

No. Mathematical Induction was removed from the JEE Main syllabus in the 2023 revision by NTA. The current syllabus retains Binomial Theorem without the Mathematical Induction section.
