🎯 High-Yield Topics for JEE Main

  • Coordination Compounds — 8 marks
  • Organic Reactions & Mechanisms — 12 marks
  • Electrochemistry + Kinetics — 12 marks
  • Determinants & Matrices — 10 marks
  • Integration (Definite + Indefinite) — 15 marks
  • Electrodynamics (Capacitance + Current) — 12 marks

📝 Previous Year Question Patterns

  • Q: “Find the area bounded by the curve y = …” [2025 Math — 4 marks NAT]
  • Q: “The electrons in a multi-electron atom are removed…” [2025 Chemistry — 3 marks]

💡 Pro Tips

  • Mathematics is the highest-scoring subject for students who master it — target 100+ in Math
  • In Physics, Alternating Current and EM Waves are easiest to score — rarely out of syllabus
  • Organic Chemistry: questions on name reactions (Kolbe electrolysis, Hofmann, etc.) appear every year
  • Coordinate Geometry: 60% of JEE Main geometry questions come from Circle + Parabola + Ellipse
