Critical Warning: The "JEE Main vs JEE Advanced" Syllabus Conflict

Are you targeting an IIT? Do not skip topics just because they are deleted from JEE Main! IIT JEE Advanced has retained heavy-weightage chapters deleted by NTA: Solid State, States of Matter (Real Gases & van der Waals), Metallurgy, Carnot Cycle, Rolling Motion, and Planes in 3D Geometry are all tested in JEE Advanced!

Frequently Asked Questions: JEE Main Rationalized Syllabus & IIT Advanced Strategy

What is the biggest difference between JEE Main and JEE Advanced syllabus for 2026?

While NTA has deleted massive portions from JEE Main (including entire chapters like States of Matter, Solid State, Surface Chemistry, Metallurgy, Hydrogen, s-Block, Polymers, and core mathematical topics like Planes in 3D Geometry and Tangents to Conics), IIT Madras and the JAB (Joint Admission Board) have NOT deleted most of these topics from JEE Advanced. Real gases (van der Waals equation), Solid State, Metallurgy, Rolling motion, Carnot cycle, and Planes in 3D remain 100% testable in JEE Advanced.

Which entire chapters are 100% deleted from JEE Main 2026?

In Chemistry, 8 entire chapters are deleted: States of Matter, Solid State, Surface Chemistry, Metallurgy, Hydrogen, s-Block Elements, Polymers, Environmental Chemistry, and Chemistry in Everyday Life. In Mathematics, Mathematical Reasoning and Mathematical Induction are completely removed. In Physics, Communication Systems has been completely removed.

Are Practical and Experimental questions compulsory in JEE Main 2026?

Yes! NTA has explicitly introduced an Experimental Physics and Practical Chemistry section in the official syllabus. Questions based on Vernier Callipers, Screw Gauge, Resonance tube, Meter bridge, Salt analysis (cations and anions), and extra element detection (Lassaigne test) now carry 12 to 20 marks across Section A and Section B.

Did NTA delete Rolling Motion and Potentiometer from JEE Main?

Yes. In Current Electricity, Potentiometer (internal resistance and comparison of EMFs) is completely deleted from JEE Main. In Rotational Motion, complex rolling dynamics on inclined planes has been curtailed for JEE Main. However, both of these topics remain essential for JEE Advanced.

How can I practice questions aligned strictly with the rationalized JEE Main syllabus?

Target Exams provides chapter-wise practice tests with 2,640+ questions filtered strictly for the active NTA syllabus. Every retained chapter on this tracker links directly to authentic, bilingual practice tests with complete step-by-step solutions.
