JEE Main 2026 Syllabus — All Subjects

The JEE Main 2026 syllabus is based on NCERT Class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. It is NTA's latest official syllabus (identical to 2025's), and it is the basis for JEE Main 2027 preparation until NTA publishes the 2027 information bulletin. Here is the complete unit list for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech): 20 units in Physics, 20 in Chemistry and 14 in Mathematics.

Physics Syllabus

Class 11 — Units & Measurements, Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work Energy Power, Rotational Motion, Gravitation, Properties of Solids & Liquids, Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Oscillations & Waves
Class 12 — Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetic Effects of Current & Magnetism, EMI & AC, Electromagnetic Waves, Optics, Dual Nature of Matter & Radiation, Atoms & Nuclei, Electronic Devices (semiconductor diodes, logic gates)
Experimental Skills — 18 listed experiments across Class 11 and 12 (Vernier calipers, screw gauge, metre bridge, resonance tube and more)

Chemistry Syllabus

Physical — Some Basic Concepts (Mole Concept), Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Chemical Thermodynamics, Solutions, Equilibrium, Redox Reactions & Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics
Organic — Purification & Characterisation of Organic Compounds, GOC, Hydrocarbons, Compounds Containing Halogens, Compounds Containing Oxygen (Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids), Compounds Containing Nitrogen (Amines, Diazonium Salts), Biomolecules, Principles Related to Practical Chemistry
Inorganic — Periodic Table & Periodicity, p-Block Elements (Groups 13–18, general trends), d- & f-Block Elements, Coordination Compounds

Mathematics Syllabus

Algebra — Sets, Relations & Functions, Complex Numbers & Quadratic Equations, Matrices & Determinants, Permutations & Combinations, Binomial Theorem, Sequences & Series
Calculus — Limits, Continuity & Differentiability (incl. applications of derivatives), Integrals, Area Under Curves, Differential Equations
Coordinate Geometry — Straight Lines, Circles, Conic Sections
Others — Trigonometry, Vector Algebra, 3D Geometry (lines in space), Statistics & Probability

Not in the syllabus: States of Matter, Surface Chemistry, s-Block Elements, Hydrogen, Metallurgy (isolation of metals), Environmental Chemistry, Polymers, Chemistry in Everyday Life, Communication Systems, Mathematical Induction and Mathematical Reasoning were removed for JEE Main 2024 and stayed out in 2025 and 2026. Skip them even if older books include them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has the JEE Main syllabus changed for 2026?

No. NTA's official 2026 syllabus is word for word the same as 2025's. The last big revision was for JEE Main 2024, when NTA removed topics such as States of Matter, Surface Chemistry, s-Block Elements, Hydrogen, Polymers, Communication Systems and Mathematical Reasoning. NTA hasn't published a 2027 syllabus yet, so the 2026 syllabus is the one to prepare from for JEE Main 2027.

Which chapters have the highest weightage?

NTA publishes no chapter weightage. Rough estimates from recent papers: Physics — Mechanics (~30%), Electrodynamics (~25%). Chemistry — Physical, Organic and Inorganic roughly a third each. Maths — Calculus (~30–35%), Algebra (~25%). The mix varies from shift to shift.

Should I study all chapters?

Study all chapters at least once, but invest more time in high-weightage chapters. Never skip a chapter entirely.
