It is very important for candidates to cover all the topics of the JEE Main 2032 Syllabus prescribed by NTA. But if a candidate does not want to cover all the topics and wants to focus only on important topics then for you we have divided the topics into three categories. Candidates can read below to know more about the important topics:
Category 1: Important Topics - These topics are very important and must be practiced again and again. Try to improve your knowledge or skills in solving the questions from these topics. You also need to work on your speed to answer the questions from these topics so that you can answer more questions in the final examination.
Category 2: Easy to Score - These topics are easy to understand and you can improve your rank by solving the questions from these topics. However, easy topics also need to be revised daily so that you can remember the simple formulas, facts, etc during the time of final examination.
Category 3: At least One Question - From this category candidates can expect at least one question in the final examination. If a candidate practices and revises these topics then he/ she can score decent marks.
Based on the trends of previous years the topics wise weightage is mentioned in the table below. However, this weightage could vary every year depending upon the syllabus and exam pattern.
Topics | No of Questions | Weightage of Marks |
---|---|---|
Matrices and Determinants | 2 | 8 |
Vector Algebra | 2 | 8 |
Three Dimensional Geometry | 2 | 8 |
Complex numbers and Quadratic Equation | 2 | 8 |
Limits, Continuity, and Differentiability | 3 | 12 |
Integral Calculus | 3 | 12 |
Coordinate Geometry | 5 | 20 |
Trigonometry | 1 | 4 |
Statics and Dynamics | 1 | 4 |
Statistics and Probability | 2 | 8 |
Sets, Relation, and Function | 1 | 4 |
