The official syllabus for Rajasthan JET 2026 is finally here. Not the recycled NEET or JEE Main syllabus some coaching sites have been peddling, but the real outlines released by Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University (SKRAU), Bikaner, in the JET-2026 guidelines booklet. The exam is on 21 June 2026 - seven days from now. That means your study plan needs to be incisive, not exhaustive.
The booklet's Annexure-II gives you subject‑wise broad outlines, and for most subjects, it tells you exactly how many questions come from each unit. This is as close to an official topic‑wise weightage as you will get. Here is the breakdown.
Rajasthan JET 2026: Quick Facts
Before diving into the syllabus, lock in the essentials. The exam pattern is fixed and non-negotiable.

How to Use the Syllabus in the Final Week
You have seven days. Divide them by subject, not by unit. Focus on the units where you are weakest, but never skip a unit entirely - even a single question can swing your rank in a tight merit list.
- Agriculture: Unit A and B carry 15 questions each. Spend two days on these, running through the crop production tables and horticulture specifics. Unit C’s 10 questions on livestock and poultry are a memory game; one day is enough.
- Physics: Mechanics and electromagnetism often dominate. Solve previous years’ MCQs for these sections. Modern physics (photoelectric effect, semiconductors) is a reliable scoring zone.
- Chemistry: Units A and B together are 20 questions - atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium. Unit C is unique to JET with agricultural chemistry; revise these sections from RBSE books. Unit D is organic chemistry - reactions and mechanisms.
- Biology: Botany’s 25 questions outweigh Zoology’s 15. Plant physiology, genetics, and ecology are heavy. Zoology is largely invertebrate pests and vertebrate basics - factual, easy marks.
- Mathematics: If it is your elective, revisit calculus and coordinate geometry first. They are the spine of JEE‑style problems.
