Hello,

Jee Mains 2021 is the biggest engineering entrance exam for which more than 9 lakh candidates are expected to apply. It is the first step for future engineers who seek admission in IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs.

The question come from Maths, Physics and Chemistry.

Over the years it has been seen that the difficulty level in each section is usually as follows:

  • Maths – Moderate but lengthy
  • Physics – Toughest
  • Chemistry – Easiest with direct NCERT questions

You can analyse chapter wise weightage of each chapter by going through past year papers.

You can refer to this link for checking the weightage.

Hello,

If you are appearing for first phase of JEE Mains, which is in February, then you do not have much time to waste. Since you have very little time left, It is important to prepare strategically if you want to qualify the exam. For this it is very crucial that you know the chapters which have more weightage so that you can put in more time and effort when studying those subjects. Below I have shared with you a link where you will get the weightage chapterwise and the important topics for the JEE Mains syllabus:
