JEE Main 2024 Mathematics chapter-wise analysis
JEE Main 2024 had 700 Mathematics questions across all shifts. The three chapters with the most were Integral Calculus (74, 10.6%), Co-ordinate Geometry (71, 10.1%) and Three Dimensional Geometry (69, 9.9%).
Against 2023, Three Dimensional Geometry (+2.7 points), Sets, Relations and Functions (+2.6 points) and Permutations and Combinations (+2.3 points) gained share while Limit, Continuity and Differentiability (-4.8 points), Trigonometry (-2.9 points) and Co-ordinate Geometry (-2.8 points) lost share.
The most repeated concepts that year were Linear Differential Equation (19), Dispersion (Variance and Standard Deviation) (16) and General Term of Binomial Expansion (16).

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.
