Official JEE Main syllabus PDF: check the year and paper

The official 2027 syllabus is a 17-page document. Paper 1 occupies PDF pages 1-11: Mathematics on pages 1-2, Physics on pages 3-6, and Chemistry on pages 7-11. Page numbers here mean positions in the PDF viewer. A unit may continue onto the next page. The same file also contains Paper 2A and Paper 2B coverage; do not mix those sections into a B.Tech checklist.

1. Open the PDF from the official link and save a copy with its year in the filename.
2. Select Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) before listing topics. Architecture and planning applicants should read their own paper sections in the file.
3. Record the source URL, document year and your download date beside the checklist.
4. Check later NTA revisions against your saved copy. A change to an exam date or a coaching headline does not itself change the official syllabus.

The reviewed source groups Paper 1 by subjects and units. It does not give an official Class 11/Class 12 question split. Textbook chapters can help organize your resources, but their boundaries need not match NTA's unit boundaries.

JEE Main Paper 2 syllabus: B.Arch and B.Planning

Choose the paper before copying a topic list. The official file gives the architecture and planning papers their own sections. Use the viewer page numbers below to open the right part; the Paper 1 Physics and Chemistry checklist does not cover these two papers.

TableCards

Paper and course	Parts to check in the official syllabus	PDF viewer pages
Paper 2A, B.Arch	Mathematics, aptitude and drawing	12-14
Paper 2B, B.Planning	Mathematics, aptitude and planning	15-17

The 2027 eligibility guide helps distinguish examination entry from programme admission. Our numerical rank and college predictors use Paper 1 evidence; do not enter a Paper 2 rank into them.

JEE Main Mathematics syllabus: 14 units for 2027

Mathematics coverage spans algebra, calculus, geometry, vectors, probability and trigonometry. Use the unit number to locate the original wording on PDF pages 1-2. The coverage cues are a compact orientation, not an exhaustive list of included methods or restrictions.

TableCards

Unit	Topic in the 2027 syllabus	Coverage cue, not the complete subtopic list
1	Sets, relations and functions	Set operations, relations and function composition
2	Complex numbers and quadratic equations	Complex-plane methods and quadratic roots
3	Matrices and determinants	Matrix operations, inverses and linear systems
4	Permutations and combinations	Counting arrangements and selections
5	Binomial theorem and its simple applications	Terms and applications for a positive integral index
6	Sequence and series	Arithmetic/geometric progressions and means
7	Limit, continuity and differentiability	Function behaviour, differentiation and its applications
8	Integral calculus	Integration methods, definite integrals and areas
9	Differential equations	Order, degree and the listed solution methods
10	Coordinate geometry	Straight lines, circles and standard conics
11	Three-dimensional geometry	Points, directions, lines and skew-line distances
12	Vector algebra	Components, scalar products and vector products
13	Statistics and probability	Dispersion, probability rules and distributions
14	Trigonometry	Identities, functions and inverse functions

Avoid a common checklist error: coordinate geometry, three-dimensional geometry and vector algebra are separate units. Likewise, differentiation, integration and differential equations need separate checks. Mark the precise method you can use on an unfamiliar question rather than ticking an entire cluster after one lecture.

JEE Main Physics syllabus: 20 units for 2027

Physics includes mechanics, thermal physics, electricity and magnetism, optics, modern physics and experimental skills. Read the complete scope on PDF pages 3-6. Unit 7 continues into page 4; the experimental-skills list appears on page 6.

TableCards

Unit	Topic in the 2027 syllabus	Coverage cue, not the complete subtopic list
1	Units and measurements	Measurement uncertainty, significant figures and dimensions
2	Kinematics	Motion graphs, relative motion and projectiles
3	Laws of motion	Force, momentum, friction and circular dynamics
4	Work, energy and power	Energy methods, spring energy and collisions
5	Rotational motion	Torque, angular momentum and rotational inertia
6	Gravitation	Gravitational fields, potentials and satellite motion
7	Properties of solids and liquids	Elasticity, fluids, surface effects and thermal properties
8	Thermodynamics	Heat, work, processes and thermodynamic laws
9	Kinetic theory of gases	Molecular model, energy and gas properties
10	Oscillations and waves	SHM, travelling/standing waves and beats
11	Electrostatics	Fields, potentials, Gauss-law applications and capacitors
12	Current electricity	Circuits, resistance, cells and bridge methods
13	Magnetic effects of current and magnetism	Fields, forces, magnetic dipoles and galvanometers
14	Electromagnetic induction and alternating currents	Induction, AC circuits, generators and transformers
15	Electromagnetic waves	Wave properties, spectrum and applications
16	Optics	Ray and wave optics, instruments and polarization
17	Dual nature of matter and radiation	Photoelectric observations and matter waves
18	Atoms and nuclei	Atomic models, spectra and nuclear energy
19	Electronic devices	Semiconductor devices, characteristics and logic gates
20	Experimental skills	The listed measurement methods, observations and graphs

Keep experimental skills in the plan. Unit 20 includes 18 listed activities, covering instruments, measurements, electrical/optical methods and observations. For each listed activity, be able to explain what is measured, how the method works and what the graph or observation means. This syllabus coverage does not itself establish a separate hands-on examination component.

JEE Main Chemistry syllabus: 20 units for 2027

Chemistry combines physical, inorganic and organic topics with practical chemical principles. Use PDF pages 7-11 for the precise limits. Do not stop at page 10: the final practical-chemistry unit continues onto page 11.

TableCards

Unit	Topic in the 2027 syllabus	Coverage cue, not the complete subtopic list
1	Some basic concepts in chemistry	Moles, formulae and stoichiometric calculations
2	Atomic structure	Atomic models, quantum numbers and electronic configurations
3	Chemical bonding and molecular structure	Bonding models, molecular shapes and bond properties
4	Chemical thermodynamics	Energy changes, entropy and spontaneity
5	Solutions	Concentration, solution behaviour and colligative properties
6	Equilibrium	Chemical/ionic equilibria and their applications
7	Redox reactions and electrochemistry	Redox balancing, cells and electrochemical relationships
8	Chemical kinetics	Rates, rate laws and temperature dependence
9	Classification of elements and periodicity in properties	Periodic classification and trends
10	p-block elements	Groups 13-18: configuration, trends and first-element behaviour
11	d- and f-block elements	Transition/inner-transition elements and listed compounds
12	Coordination compounds	Naming, bonding, isomerism and applications
13	Purification and characterisation of organic compounds	Separation and qualitative/quantitative analysis methods
14	Some basic principles of organic chemistry	Naming, isomerism, electronic effects and reaction types
15	Hydrocarbons	The listed aliphatic and aromatic reactions
16	Organic compounds containing halogens	Preparation, reactions and specified uses/effects
17	Organic compounds containing oxygen	Alcohols, phenols, ethers and carbonyl/carboxyl chemistry
18	Organic compounds containing nitrogen	Amines and diazonium chemistry
19	Biomolecules	Carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and nucleic acids
20	Principles related to practical chemistry	Tests, preparations, titrations, salt analysis and experiments

Read broad labels carefully. For p-block elements, the reviewed wording covers Groups 13-18 through configuration, general trends and the distinctive behaviour of the first element of each group. Do not assume that every detailed compound chapter in an older coaching resource is therefore specified. Practical chemistry also includes salt analysis, titrimetric work and experiments; it is not only organic functional-group testing.

Deleted chapters, reduced syllabus and chapter-wise weightage

2027 versus 2026, Paper 1: our comparison of the official documents found the same unit and subtopic text after accounting for document-year labels and formatting. We found no Paper 1 topic additions or removals in that text comparison. The 2027 PDF is the current reference; the 2026 PDF is linked here for the comparison. This finding covers Paper 1, not a separate deletion audit of Papers 2A and 2B.

Use four labels in your comparison: added, removed, clarified and unchanged. Keep the old wording and new wording next to each decision. If a claim comes from a screenshot or coaching summary, locate the corresponding official passage before removing a topic from your timetable.

The reviewed syllabus does not assign guaranteed chapter-wise question counts. A past-paper analysis can describe its chosen years and shifts, but it cannot promise your paper's distribution. Check its sample and counting method, including how mixed-topic questions were treated. Use that information to schedule practice, while retaining coverage of the included syllabus.

Turn the syllabus into a revision checklist you can use

Create one row for each official subtopic, then map your textbook, notes and practice set to it. The table below is an Admission Guardian planning method, not an NTA rule or a score guarantee. Copy its structure into your own notes or spreadsheet; the example tasks show how to replace a vague completion tick with evidence.

TableCards

Example coverage row	Evidence to record	What to do next
Mathematics: a definite-integral method	A fresh question attempted, method chosen and error identified	Rework the failed step, then solve a different question unaided
Physics: an instrument or experiment	Quantity measured, method, units and interpretation explained	Revisit the observation or graph you could not explain
Chemistry: an equilibrium calculation	Assumptions and calculation written before checking a solution	Correct the assumption or calculation, then retest it
Any subject: a newly reviewed subtopic	Last practice date, resource and remaining difficulty	Set the next review task rather than marking the whole unit finished

Use statuses such as not started, learning, practising and reviewed. Keep concepts, calculation slips, recall gaps and time-management mistakes separate in your error log. A correct answer copied from a worked solution is not evidence that you can apply the method independently.

At the end of each week, choose the next tasks from your recorded gaps. Include earlier topics in mixed practice so that a recently completed unit does not crowd out forgotten material. Use the JEE Main preparation guide to turn those tasks into a weekly plan. This guide does not prescribe a universal study-hour allocation or predict a score from completed rows.

Keep preparation and admission planning connected

Return to the JEE Main exam guide for the paper and admission overview. Keep the dates checklist, registration guide and eligibility guide alongside revision, using the official notice for your attempt. These are separate checks: completing the syllabus does not establish application or admission eligibility.

Once you have a result, keep percentile estimates separate from an official rank. For 2026 result research, the rank predictor estimates rank from a final Paper 1 percentile with low confidence, and the college predictor compares supported 2026 historical cutoff evidence. Neither is a verified 2027 forecast or a seat guarantee. Use the cutoff explorer and counselling guide with the correct rank list, category, quota, programme, year and round.

Sources and scope: checked on 25 October 2026 against the official 2027 syllabus page and 2027 PDF. We compared the Paper 1 text with the linked 2026 source. Unit names are normalized for readability; the official detailed wording controls. The subject tables are coverage summaries, not guaranteed question counts or official Class 11/Class 12 weightages.
