JEE Advanced syllabus for 2025 and 2026 has been formally confirmed by the organising IITs, with no new topics added or removed compared to the revised framework introduced earlier.
Syllabus unchanged for 2025 and 2026
- IIT Kanpur released the JEE Advanced 2025 syllabus along with the exam website and clearly stated that there are no changes from the previous JEE Advanced syllabus.
- IIT Roorkee has now published the detailed JEE Advanced 2026 syllabus PDF on jeeadv.ac.in, confirming that the content remains the same as 2025 to ensure continuity for aspirants.
Core structure and subjects
- The syllabus continues to be built around three subjects – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics – with questions spread across two compulsory papers of three hours each.
- Authorities emphasise that all core concepts from Classes 11 and 12 NCERT are included, and that the exam will test comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability rather than rote memorisation.
Key topic coverage
- Physics spans general physics, mechanics, thermal physics, electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic waves, optics and modern physics, each broken into detailed sub‑topics in the official PDF.
- Chemistry includes Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, covering topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, coordination compounds, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and named organic reaction mechanisms.
- Mathematics lists a wide range of areas including algebra, trigonometry, matrices, probability, analytical geometry in 2D and 3D, differential calculus, integral calculus and vectors, closely aligned with higher‑secondary maths.
Clarification vs JEE Main
- Expert notes highlight that the JEE Advanced syllabus is not identical to JEE Main; topics like differential equations and some advanced probability appear in Advanced but not in the Main paper, while a few basic topics present in Main do not appear in Advanced.
- Coaching institutes are advising students to treat the Advanced PDF as the final reference document and avoid confusion with older, pre‑revision lists or only‑Main topic lists circulating online.
Implications for aspirants
- With the syllabus stabilised for consecutive years, teachers and students see the move as a positive step that allows long‑term planning, uniform study material design and smoother transition for droppers.
- Experts recommend that candidates download the latest official syllabus from jeeadv.ac.in and use it to prepare chapter‑wise timetables, identify high‑weightage areas and align mock tests and PYQs accordingly.
The official JEE Advanced syllabus PDFs are available here.

JEE Advanced Syllabus 2026 for Chemistry
Chemistry is often considered easier than Mathematics and Physics; however, the subject requires regular practice to master it. Any topic/chapter either from Class 11 or Class 12 requires consistent practice. According to the JEE Advanced syllabus of Chemistry, the weightage of Class 11 chapters is around 30% to 40% and the rest is of Class 12 chapters. However, most of the topics covered in Class 11 are the basic ones and are important to understand Class 12 topics.

How to Efficiently Prepare using JEE Advanced 2026 Syllabus
JEE Advanced preparation can not be done without proper planning and clear understanding of concepts covered in the JEE exam syllabus. As the exam pattern of IIT JEE Advanced 2026 is unpredictable, students must be well prepared to solve most difficult questions from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Here are some useful preparation tips for your JEE Adv exam.
Do not start just anywhere: Plan how to start by categorising the topics as important and less important. Now categorise which topics are your strengths and which ones are your weaknesses. Now that you have all the categories, start with the topics that are in the following order:
- Important and weak
- Important and strong
- Less important and weak
- Less important and stronger
Cover everything: Although some topics are more important than others, all topics have to be covered. JEE Advanced is not your normal exam. It is unpredictable and has questions on all the topics.
Complete the syllabus early: Do not stall. Cover all the topics in the syllabus at least once soon. Once the syllabus is completed, go about revising the topics strategically.
Solve previous year paper and mock test: It is very important that students solve JEE Advanced previous year paper and mock papers to evaluate where they stand in their preparation. Understand the weak areas/topics and prepare for them.
