JEE Main 2024 Syllabus: A Reduction in Content

The JEE Main 2024 syllabus has undergone a reduction in specific topics across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The overall syllabus has been reduced by 25% to 35% depending on the subject. This move aims to streamline the content and potentially reduce the pressure on students. The removed topics include:

• Physics: Communication Systems, Experimental Skills, and Thomson and Rutherford’s atomic models and their limitations
• Chemistry: Physical quantities and their measurements, States of Matter, Surface Chemistry, s-Block Elements, General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals, Hydrogen, Environmental Chemistry, and Polymers
• Mathematics: Three Dimensional Geometry

JEE Main 2024 Exam Pattern

The JEE Main 2024 follows a computer-based test (CBT) format with two papers: Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.) and Paper 2 (B.Arch./B.Plan.).

• Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.): This paper assesses knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, consisting of 90 questions (30 from each subject) carrying a total of 300 marks. Each subject has two sections: 20 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with four options and 10 Numerical Value Questions (NVQs) with one or more correct answers.
• Paper 2 (B.Arch./B.Plan.): This paper caters to students seeking admission to Architecture and Planning programs, comprising 105 questions (30 Mathematics, 50 Aptitude, and 2 Drawing) with a total of 300 marks. The format is similar to Paper 1, with 30 MCQs and 10 NVQs, plus 50 questions testing spatial reasoning, imagination, and aesthetic sense, and two questions requiring drawing skills.
