JEE Main 2024 Physics chapter-wise analysis
JEE Main 2024 had 600 Physics questions across all shifts. The three chapters with the most were Current Electricity (50, 8.3%), Properties of Solids and Liquids (49, 8.2%) and Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents (45, 7.5%).
Against 2023, Physics and Measurement (+3.6 points) and Experimental Skills (+1.5 points) gained share while Oscillations and Waves (-2.2 points) and Gravitation (-1.9 points) lost share.
Communication Systems was asked in 2023 but not in 2024, and is no longer in the JEE Main 2026 syllabus.
The most repeated concepts that year were Kinetic Energy (14), Projectile Motion (12) and Hooke's Law (11).

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.
