Thousands of students like you are gearing up, and with the right plan, success is absolutely within reach. This exam isn't about memorising everything but strategically mastering high-impact topics that have dominated past papers.
Imagine walking into the exam hall with confidence, knowing exactly which chapters in Physics, Chemistry, and Math give you maximum marks for minimum effort. That's exactly what we're revealing here! Based on 5+ years of question paper analysis, we've decoded the winning formula: focus on 20% of syllabus that delivers 80% results.
From Current Electricity's guaranteed questions to Organic Chemistry's sure-shot reactions, we're handing you the ultimate cheat sheet (the legal kind!). Plus, we'll share time-management hacks that toppers swear by. So relax, grab your notebook, and let's turn those pre-exam jitters into unstoppable energy!
The JEE Main 2025 syllabus, prescribed by the National Testing Agency (NTA), follows the NCERT Class 11-12 curriculum across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The exam tests conceptual clarity and problem-solving speed, with 90 questions (30 per subject) in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. 75 questions must be attempted, carrying 300 marks (4 marks each; -1 for wrong answers).
Previous year trends reveal repetitive high-weightage chapters:
Physics: Current Electricity (9.9%), Modern Physics (6.6%)
Chemistry: Coordination Compounds (9.9%), p-Block Elements (9.9%)
Mathematics: Calculus (13.2%), 3D Geometry (6.6%)
