I
f you dream of pursuing engineering from one of the IITs, NITs, or GFTIs, then cracking JEE
Main becomes mandatory. The entrance exam is conducted online mode across various
centers. If you know the most important topics and books of Mathematics, Physics, and
Chemistry for JEE Main, then it will help you to score more in the most coveted engineering
entrance exam. With the days ticking off and JEE Main exam day approaching, it is time for
students to brush up on the important topics of each subject- Physics, Chemistry, and Math-
ematics. The Question Paper of JEE Main is structured in such a way that tests the aptitude,
analytical, logical, and reasoning skills of students. So, it becomes vital that aspirants plan
their preparation in the right direction to excel in the exam. This is the time when students
should be working to strengthen the important topics of each subject, as not all topics carry
an equal weightage of marks. Devoting extra time to such important topics that carry compar-
atively more weightage is recommended by various coaching experts.
Coaching experts advise focusing more on the important topics of the JEE Main Syllabus.
For benefitting JEE Main aspirants, Careers360 brings here the list of the Most Important
Topics and Books for JEE Main Preparation as recommended after analysis of the JEE Main
2024 exam. In the analysis of the JEE Main 2024 exam, our subject experts of Physics, Chem-
istry, and Mathematics have studied 900 questions from 10 sets of JEE Main 2024 question
papers held online on different days in different shifts in the January session. Each question
paper consists of 30 questions from each subject (i.e. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
Preparing for a complete JEE Main Syllabus is important. But if these recommended topics
of each subject are prepared with extra dedication and effort, then there are good chances of
securing a good score in JEE Main.
