Averages hide the story of individual years. This table shows which chapter had the most questions in each subject, year by year.
The leader each year
| Year | Physics | Chemistry | Maths |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Electrostatics (51) | Organic Compounds Containing Oxygen (64) | Limit, Continuity and Differentiability (91) |
| 2023 | Current Electricity (52) | Organic Compounds Containing Oxygen (46) | Co-ordinate Geometry (85) |
| 2024 | Current Electricity (50) | p-Block Elements (40) | Integral Calculus (74) |
| 2025 | Optics (63) | Some Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry (57) | Co-ordinate Geometry (92) |
| 2026 | Optics (56) | Coordination Compounds (40) | Co-ordinate Geometry (73) |
What stands out
- Maths has the clearest repeat leader. Co-ordinate Geometry, Integral Calculus and Limit, Continuity and Differentiability lead in different years.
- Physics and Chemistry rotate more. The top chapter changes from year to year, which is why wide coverage matters.
- Counts are across all shifts, so they are bigger than any single paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the top chapter the same every year?
Not for Physics and Chemistry in our data. Maths shows the most stability at the top.
Why are the counts so large?
Every shift of every session is counted, so one chapter can show dozens of questions.
