Introduction
The JEE Advanced Syllabus for 2024 remains consistent with the previous year, encompassing key topics crucial for admissions to IITs and other prestigious institutions offering engineering, science, and architecture programs. This syllabus is pivotal as it forms the basis for the JEE Advanced, comprising two mandatory papers, each spanning three hours. These papers extensively cover Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, assessing candidates on their comprehension, reasoning, and analytical prowess at the IIT level.
On the exam day, candidates had to carry a hard copy of their JEE Advanced Admit Card. This document contained essential information like the exam date, shift timings, exam center address, and important guidelines for the day of the exam.

List of subjects in JEE Advanced
The JEE Advanced examination comprises three primary subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. It consists of two papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2, both held on the same day for 3 hours each. Candidates must appear for both papers to qualify. The syllabus for JEE Advanced 2024 remains consistent across Papers 1 and 2, although the question patterns may vary.
The exam questions are designed to test candidates’ comprehension, reasoning, and analytical abilities, necessitating a deep understanding of concepts and application-based problem-solving skills. Approximately 30-40% of the Chemistry paper focuses on Class 11 topics, with the remaining 60-70% from Class 12. For Physics, topics from both Class 11 and 12 hold equal weight, while Mathematics includes around 40-50% of Class 11 chapters.
IIT JEE is renowned as one of the world’s top 5 toughest exams, with a highly competitive acceptance rate of just 1%. To succeed, candidates must build a strong foundation in Class 11 and 12 topics, regularly practice JEE Advanced PYQs, and attempt 4-6 full-length mock tests monthly for comprehensive preparation.
Subject Wise Syllabus of JEE Advanced Exam
IIT Madras has unveiled the JEE Advanced 2024 syllabus on its website. This syllabus outlines the chapters and topics for each subject. Candidates must follow this syllabus as the exam questions will be based on it. Familiarity with the exam pattern is also essential. After studying the syllabus, candidates can practice using JEE Advanced sample papers for better preparation.

FAQs
What is the difference between JEE Main & JEE Advanced Syllabus?
Both JEE Main and JEE Advanced focus on Class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Maths. JEE Main covers basic concepts, but some topics got deleted this year. However, these topics are still in JEE Advanced, like Carnot Engine in Physics and certain parts of Maths and Chemistry. Students aiming for both exams need to cover these topics for JEE Advanced prep.
Are there any changes in JEE Advanced Syllabus 2024?
The JEE Advanced 2024 syllabus remains unchanged from previous years. Unlike NEET and JEE Main, there have been no revisions to the syllabus for this year’s JEE Advanced exam. You can find detailed subject-wise topics and sub-topics in the IIT JEE syllabus article provided.
What topics have the highest weightage in JEE Advanced?
In JEE Advanced, certain chapters carry more weightage than others. For Physics, Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics are crucial, each around 10-30%. Chemistry focuses on Physical, Inorganic, and Organic topics like Atomic Structure, Periodic Table, General Organic Chemistry, Hydrocarbons, etc. In Maths, Algebra, Calculus, and Coordinate Geometry are key, comprising around 25-15%.
What is the syllabus of IIT JEE advanced?
The JoSAA counselling fees for JEE Advanced 2024 have not been officially announced yet.
