What is the official syllabus for JEE Main, and where can I find it?

The syllabus for JEE Main is prescribed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and typically covers topics from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics taught in Class 11 and 12 (CBSE curriculum is a common reference, but other boards are also covered).

• Key Subjects & General Areas:
  • Physics: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics, etc.
  • Chemistry: Physical Chemistry (Stoichiometry, Chemical Equilibrium, Kinetics, etc.), Organic Chemistry (Hydrocarbons, Functional Groups, Biomolecules, etc.), Inorganic Chemistry (Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, Coordination Compounds, s,p,d,f block elements, etc.).
  • Mathematics: Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Vectors, Statistics, Probability, etc.
• Finding the Official Syllabus: The most reliable source for the JEE Main syllabus is the official NTA JEE Main website (jeemain.nta.nic.in or the current year's specific NTA portal). Look for the "Information Bulletin" for the current academic year, which contains the detailed syllabus for all subjects and papers (Paper 1 for B.E./B.Tech, Paper 2A for B.Arch, and Paper 2B for B.Planning).
• Actionable Insight: Always download and refer to the syllabus from the official NTA website for the specific year you are appearing, as minor changes can occur. Use it as your primary guide for preparation.
