Maths in JEE Main rewards speed and accuracy more than any other subject — most chapters build directly on earlier ones, so a gap in Algebra or Calculus tends to show up again in later units.
This is part of our complete JEE Main Syllabus 2027 guide.
Unit-Wise Maths Syllabus
Tap any chapter below to open its own detailed breakdown.
| # | Unit | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sets, Relations & Functions | Types of relations, functions, one-one/onto, composition of functions |
| 2 | Complex Numbers & Quadratic Equations | Argand plane, modulus & argument, nature of roots |
| 3 | Matrices & Determinants | Matrix operations, adjoint & inverse, solving linear systems |
| 4 | Permutations & Combinations | Fundamental principle of counting, P(n,r), C(n,r) |
| 5 | Binomial Theorem | General term, middle term, applications |
| 6 | Sequence & Series | Arithmetic & geometric progressions, AM-GM relation |
| 7 | Limit, Continuity & Differentiability | Standard limits, derivatives of all standard function types |
| 8 | Integral Calculus | Standard integrals, definite integrals, area under curves |
| 9 | Differential Equations | Order & degree, variable separable, linear first-order equations |
| 10 | Co-ordinate Geometry | Straight lines, circles, parabola, ellipse, hyperbola |
| 11 | Three Dimensional Geometry | Direction cosines/ratios, equation of a line, shortest distance between skew lines |
| 12 | Vector Algebra | Addition, scalar & vector products |
| 13 | Statistics & Probability | Mean, median, mode, variance, Bayes' theorem, probability distributions |
| 14 | Trigonometry | Trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions |
Note: Application of Derivatives is generally studied as an extension within the Limits/Continuity/Differentiability unit rather than as a separate NTA-listed unit.
Chapter Priority
Based on past exam trends, not an officially published NTA weightage.
- Consistently high-yield: Coordinate Geometry, Integral & Differential Calculus, Complex Numbers & Quadratic Equations, Matrices & Determinants
- Steady, moderate presence: Vector Algebra, 3D Geometry, Probability & Statistics
- Fewer but predictable questions: Sets/Relations/Functions, Sequence & Series, Trigonometry (also embedded across other chapters)
How to Prepare
- Master Calculus (Limits → Differentiation → Application → Integration → Differential Equations) as one connected block — it's the single largest scoring zone.
- Coordinate Geometry and Vectors/3D share a lot of underlying logic — study them back-to-back.
- Speed-drill Complex Numbers, P&C, and Binomial Theorem — these are usually the fastest-solvable questions once the concept is clear.
