So, if you know clearly which chapter will be important and fetch you the maximum marks in the exam, then it will be easier for you to take the right route in completing the whole syllabus smartly.
Well, our team of subject experts have analyzed the pattern of the past years’ papers of JEE Advanced to give you a clear idea of the syllabus, by breaking chapters into 4 groups based on the effort required to learn and score in the exam as well as the weightage of each chapter.
EASY MARKS FETCHING –
We will consider the chapters that fall in quadrant 1 and 2 in the above figure.
Quadrant 1: There are the chapters that can be covered in less time and are high scoring.
Quadrant 2: There are chapters that can be slightly difficult to cover but are very important, and this comprise the maximum syllabus.
