Cracking JEE requires more than just hard work—it demands complete awareness of the syllabus, strong conceptual understanding, strategic revision, and effective time management. With JEE 2026 inching closer, students currently in Class 11 and 12 should align their preparation with the latest syllabus and prioritize smart planning.
In this guide, we provide a detailed subject-wise breakdown of the JEE 2026 syllabus and offer topic-wise strategies based on what has worked for Deeksha Vedantu toppers. We also include tips on mock test schedules, revision techniques, and how Deeksha Vedantu’s mentorship enhances your preparation.
Understanding the JEE Structure
- Exam Format: JEE Main is held in two sessions each year. Every subject contains Section A (20 multiple-choice questions) and Section B (10 numerical value questions, out of which 5 must be attempted).
- Subjects Covered: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
- Total Marks: 300 (100 marks per subject)
- Duration: 3 hours
- Scoring: +4 marks for each correct answer, -1 mark for incorrect answers (MCQs only)
Being familiar with the exam pattern helps you manage time better and focus on high-weightage topics while practicing.
Physics – From Concept to Calculation
Physics is often perceived as difficult due to its mathematical application. However, with consistent practice and conceptual clarity, it becomes one of the most scoring sections.
Class 11 Topics
- Units & Dimensions
- Kinematics
- Laws of Motion
- Work, Energy & Power
- Rotational Motion
- Gravitation

Class 12 Topics
- Electrostatics
- Current Electricity
- Magnetism and Matter
- Electromagnetic Induction
- Alternating Current
- Electromagnetic Waves
- Ray and Wave Optics
- Modern Physics
- Semiconductors & Communication Systems
Strategy:
- Begin each chapter by watching concept videos or visual demos.
- Maintain a formula sheet and revise it daily.
- Focus on problem-solving techniques and avoid memorizing equations.

- Introduction to 3D Geometry
- Limits and Derivatives
- Statistics and Probability
Class 12 Topics
- Relations and Functions (Advanced)
- Inverse Trigonometric Functions
- Matrices and Determinants
- Continuity and Differentiability
- Application of Derivatives
- Integrals and Differential Equations
- Vector Algebra
- Three-dimensional Geometry
- Probability (Advanced)
- Linear Programming
Strategy:
- Allocate daily slots for Calculus, Algebra, and Geometry to balance concepts.
- Attempt 40–50 questions daily to build familiarity and reduce silly mistakes.
- Use Deeksha Vedantu’s smart practice sheets to solve exam-level questions.
- Maintain a mistake book and revise it weekly to avoid repeating errors.
- Participate in peer quizzes and rapid tests to strengthen application speed.

FAQs
1. Should I follow the same syllabus for JEE Main and Advanced?
No. While JEE Main and Advanced share core topics, Advanced covers a broader range. Start with Main and expand for Advanced by early 2026.
2. How early should I start preparing for JEE 2026?
Class 11 is the ideal time to begin. It allows time for two full syllabus revisions, practice tests, and advanced-level problem solving.
3. Is NCERT enough for Chemistry in JEE?
For Inorganic and Organic, yes. For Physical Chemistry, use NCERT as a base, then refer to books like N Awasthi or coaching modules.
4. How important are mock tests in JEE prep?
Crucial. Mock tests improve time management and help adapt to exam patterns. Attempt at least 2 per month from Class 11 and 1 per week from Class 12.
5. How often should I revise topics?
Every 15 days. Use a rotating revision schedule and short notes to boost retention.
Conclusion
JEE 2026 is not just about covering the syllabus—it’s about building exam temperament, practicing consistently, and knowing what to focus on. A topic-wise strategy, supported by timely revision, mentorship, and real-time feedback, creates a winning path.
Deeksha Vedantu’s unique combination of PU integration, personalised coaching, and academic analytics empowers students to confidently aim for top ranks in their very first attempt. Start early, stay consistent, and trust the process.
