JEE Main Syllabus 2027
Before you make a study plan, timetable, or even pick your first reference book, you need one thing sorted: the exact JEE Main syllabus. Preparing extra chapters wastes your limited time; missing a chapter that NTA still includes can cost you real marks. Here’s the complete, chapter-wise JEE Main 2027 syllabus for all three subjects, along with what’s been removed in recent years.
Latest Update: NTA has not released a separate JEE Main 2027 syllabus yet. It’s expected to be published along with the official Information Bulletin around October–November 2026. Historically, NTA doesn’t revise the syllabus every year — the list below is based on the current, stable syllabus used for JEE Main 2025 and 2026, and no major changes are expected. Always verify against the official 2027 bulletin once released on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
Syllabus Overview
- The JEE Main syllabus is built almost entirely on the NCERT Class 11 and Class 12 curriculum for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
- Both Class 11 and Class 12 topics carry roughly equal weight — you can’t afford to leave either year half-prepared
- Physics has 20 units, Chemistry has 20 units, and Mathematics has 14 units under the current syllabus structure
- Each subject carries 25 questions and 100 marks in JEE Main Paper 1 — Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics currently hold equal weightage
JEE Main Mathematics Syllabus (Complete Chapter List)
Since Mathematics tends to be the most calculation-heavy and time-consuming section on exam day, knowing exactly what’s in (and out) of the syllabus matters even more here.
| Class 11 Topics | Class 12 Topics |
|---|---|
|
Sets, Relations and Functions |
Matrices and Determinants |
|
Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations |
Differential Calculus (Continuity, Differentiability, Application of Derivatives)
|
|
Sequences and Series |
Integral Calculus (Indefinite & Definite Integrals, Application of Integrals) |
|
Trigonometry (Functions & Equations) |
Differential Equations |
|
Straight Lines and Circles |
Coordinate Geometry (Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola, 3D Geometry) |
|
Permutations and Combinations |
Vector Algebra |
|
Binomial Theorem |
Probability |
|
Limits and Continuity (Intro to Calculus) |
|
|
Statistics |
High-Weightage Maths Chapters
Based on the last several years’ question papers, these chapters consistently carry the most weightage:
- Calculus (Differentiation, Integration, Application of Derivatives/Integrals) — the single highest-scoring area
- Algebra (Matrices, Determinants, Complex Numbers)
- Coordinate Geometry (Straight Lines, Circles, Conic Sections)
- Vectors and 3D Geometry
Given how much of the exam rides on Calculus and Algebra alone, building genuine conceptual clarity here rather than just memorizing formulas is what separates a 250+ Maths score from an average one. This is exactly the kind of gap a structured Class 12 JEE Maths course is designed to close, with problem-solving practice mapped directly to these high-weightage chapters.
Deleted Maths Topics (Removed from Syllabus)
Two Class 11 units were officially removed in the 2024 syllabus revision and remain excluded:
- Mathematical Induction
- Mathematical Reasoning
If you’re using older coaching material, YouTube playlists, or hand-me-down notes, double-check they don’t still include these — studying deleted topics wastes preparation time you can’t get back.

JEE Main Chemistry Syllabus (Chapter List)
Chemistry is divided into three sections:
| Division | Key Topics |
|---|---|
|
Physical Chemistry |
Mole Concept, Atomic Structure, Chemical Thermodynamics, Equilibrium, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Solutions
|
|
Inorganic Chemistry |
Periodic Table & Periodicity, Chemical Bonding, s-Block Elements, p-Block Elements, d- and f-Block Elements, Coordination Compounds, Environmental Chemistry
|
|
Organic Chemistry |
Basic Principles, Hydrocarbons, Organic Compounds containing Halogens/Oxygen/Nitrogen, Polymers, Biomolecules, Practical Organic Chemistry
|
Class 11 vs Class 12 Weightage
| Class 11 Topics | Class 12 Topics | |
|---|---|---|
|
Mathematics |
Trigonometry, Sequences & Series, Limits |
Calculus, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Probability |
|
Physics |
Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Waves
|
Electrostatics, Optics, Modern Physics |
|
Chemistry |
Atomic Structure, Periodicity, Mole Concept |
Electrochemistry, Coordination Compounds, Organic Reactions |
Both years contribute close to equal weightage overall, which is why rushing through Class 11 to “get to the real JEE topics” in Class 12 is a common and costly mistake. A solid Class 11 JEE Maths foundation directly determines how comfortably you handle Class 12’s more advanced Calculus and Coordinate Geometry chapters.
How to Use This Syllabus Effectively
- NCERT first, always: especially for Chemistry, where NCERT lines are directly picked for questions
- Prioritize by weightage: not personal preference — start with Calculus, Algebra, and Coordinate Geometry in Maths
- Cross-check your study material against this list to remove any deleted topics before you waste time on them
- Balance Class 11 and Class 12: don’t let board exam pressure push Class 11 revision to the last month

Frequenlty Asked Questions
No. It’s expected around October–November 2026 with the official Information Bulletin. Until then, the current (2025–26) syllabus is the reliable reference, since major revisions are rare and announced well in advance.
No. JEE Advanced covers a broader and deeper syllabus, with additional topics (like certain areas of Electrochemistry and Thermodynamics) and a higher difficulty level than JEE Main.
Mathematical Induction and Mathematical Reasoning were removed in the 2024 syllabus revision and remain excluded for 2027.
NCERT is essential and sufficient for building the base, especially for Chemistry, but scoring well in Physics and Maths typically requires additional numerical practice and previous years’ questions beyond NCERT alone.
Currently, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics carry equal weightage — 25 questions and 100 marks each in Paper 1.
