JEE Main 2024 paper analysis chapter-wise
JEE Main 2024 adds 1,738 questions to this analysis, counted across all shifts: 600 in Physics, 438 in Chemistry and 700 in Mathematics. The chapters with the largest share of the paper were Integral Calculus (Maths, about 3.5% of the paper), Co-ordinate Geometry (Maths, about 3.4% of the paper) and Three Dimensional Geometry (Maths, about 3.3% of the paper).
Compared with 2023, Coordination Compounds (+4.4 points of its subject), Physics and Measurement (+3.6 points of its subject) and p-Block Elements (+3.5 points of its subject) gained share while Limit, Continuity and Differentiability (-4.8 points), Trigonometry (-2.9 points) and Co-ordinate Geometry (-2.8 points) lost share.
26 of the year's questions came from chapters that are no longer in the JEE Main 2026 syllabus.

In the source data the Chemistry counts for 2024 and 2025 look unevenly split between the two years, so read those two years together rather than as separate trends.
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.
