Are there separate deleted-topic lists for JEE Mains Paper 2A (B.Arch) and 2B (B.Plan)?

No, the NTA does not release separate "deleted-topic" lists for JEE Main Paper 2A (B.Arch) and Paper 2B (B.Plan) because their structures are different from Paper 1.

The syllabus changes, particularly the deleted topics, apply differently to each section of these papers. Here’s a clear breakdown.

How Syllabus Changes Affect Each Section

• Mathematics Section (Common to Both 2A & 2B)

  The Mathematics syllabus is the same for Paper 1, Paper 2A, and Paper 2B. Therefore, the official list of deleted topics for Mathematics in Paper 1 is directly applicable to both B.Arch and B.Plan papers. You should follow that list for your Maths preparation.

• Aptitude Test Section (Common to Both 2A & 2B)

  The Aptitude Test is a skill-based assessment that evaluates your general awareness, analytical skills, three-dimensional perception, and architectural or planning aptitude. It is not based on a fixed textbook curriculum. Therefore, the concept of "deleted topics" does not apply to this section. The scope remains consistent, focusing on your inherent skills.

• Drawing Test (Only for 2A - B.Arch)

  This is a practical test of your drawing and aesthetic sense. There is no traditional syllabus with chapters that can be added or removed. Your preparation should focus on practicing sketching, perspective drawing, and composition.

• Planning-Based Questions (Only for 2B - B.Plan)

  This section tests your knowledge and awareness of urban planning, development, and related government initiatives. Like the Aptitude Test, it is not based on a chapter-wise curriculum, so there is no list of deleted topics.

What You Should Do

• For Mathematics: Use the official deleted topics list for JEE Main Paper 1 Mathematics.
• For Aptitude, Drawing, and Planning: Your best guide is the official JEE Main Information Bulletin. It outlines the scope and nature of these tests. Focus on practicing previous years' question papers to understand the pattern and type of questions asked.
