JEE Main Physics Syllabus 

Physics is one of the major sections of JEE Main Syllabus. The physics section will include two sub-sections A and B. Section A will have MCQs and will include the theory part of Physics with 80% weightage and section B will have numerical value questions comprising practical component (experimental) with 20% weightage. Check out the full JEE main syllabus for Physics below:

JEE Main Mathematics Syllabus

The mathematics section of the JEE Main paper will carry 30 questions in the exam. There will be two sections i.e. Section A and Section B. Section A will be comprised of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) and Section B will contain questions whose answers are to be filled in as a numerical value. In Section B, candidates have to attempt any five questions out of 10. There will be no negative marking for Section B. However, in Section A, for any question answered incorrectly, one mark will be deducted. Check out the detailed mathematics JEE Main syllabus in the table below.
