Which Mathematics chapters were removed from JEE Main?
Mathematical Reasoning and Mathematical Induction appeared in earlier papers but are not in NTA's JEE Main 2026 syllabus.
How should I use Mathematics weightage?
Study high-share chapters first, give steady and rising chapters regular revision, and solve previous-year questions on each chapter to see the question style.

Most repeated concepts
The concepts JEE Main asks most.
Counts are compiled from Edurack's JEE Main last five-year analysis (2022–2026) and count questions across all shifts and sessions of each year. Because the number of shifts changes every year, trends compare each chapter's share of the paper among chapters still in the syllabus, not raw counts. Past frequency is a trend guide, not a prediction. Chapters marked "not in syllabus" are absent from NTA's JEE Main 2026 syllabus; always check the latest NTA syllabus before skipping a chapter.
