JEE Mains Exam
The JEE Mains exam serves as a standardized computerized assessment for admissions into B.Tech and B.Arch programs at NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology). It consists of two papers: Paper 1, for B.E/B.Tech aspirants, covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics; Paper 2, tailored for B.Arch/B.Planning aspirants, is divided into two sections. Section 2a, for B.Arch, includes Mathematics, Aptitude, and Drawing, while Section 2b, for B.Planning, includes Mathematics, Aptitude, and Planning-related questions. The exam format primarily comprises multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and the top 2.5 lakh students from the JEE Mains qualify for the subsequent JEE Advanced exam.

JEE Advanced Exam
The JEE Advanced exam is a nationwide entrance test in India, aimed at securing admission to various undergraduate programs, particularly in engineering, at the prestigious institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian School of Mines (ISM). A student is allowed a maximum number of 2 attempts in 2 consecutive years. Eligibility to sit for the JEE Advanced is reserved for candidates who have successfully passed the JEE Mains and ranked among the top performers. The exam is known to be framed to reject candidates rather than accept them. Renowned for its difficulty and competitiveness, this examination evaluates candidates’ proficiency and problem-solving skills in subjects including Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Admission to the IITs and ISM depends on the rankings achieved in the JEE Advanced exam.
JEE Advanced Syllabus
The IIT JEE Advanced syllabus is also segregated into 3 sections, namely, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Let us understand the IIT JEE Exam Syllabus in detail.
JEE Advanced Syllabus: Physics
- Electrodynamics (20%)
- Heat and Thermodynamics (13%)
- Mechanics (25%)
- Modern Physics (20%)
- Optics (15%)
- SHM & Waves (7%)
Note: The number mentioned in brackets is the percentage of weightage it carries in the exam.
JEE Advanced Syllabus: Chemistry
- Inorganic(30%): Chemical Bonding, Co-ordination Compounds, Metallurgy, P-Block, Qualitative Analysis

Note: While the format of JEE Mains remains consistent, JEE Advanced presents a more dynamic challenge with its ever-evolving structure. Therefore, every topic holds significance, making it compulsory for the aspirants to go thorough the coverage of the entire syllabus. Certain subjects such as EMI, Thermodynamics, and Mechanics in Physics; Calculus, Application of Derivatives, and 3D Geometry in Mathematics; and Atomic Structure, Hydrocarbons, and P-Block Elements in Chemistry might carry greater weightage. However, no topic should be overlooked, particularly when preparing for JEE Advanced, as each topic holds potential relevance and importance in achieving success.
