The National Testing Agency will conduct the JEE Main 2026 exam in two sessions. JEE Main exam comprises three sections - Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. According to interviews with numerous JEE Main toppers. Mathematics is considered the most scoring among the three subjects. So, why not focus on revising Maths to the fullest? Therefore, here in this article, we have come up with some ways to revise Mathematics by staying at home. Since Mathematics is considered a subject requiring calculation, candidates are advised to allocate sufficient time to understand problem-solving tactics in this subject. Before we proceed to understand the ways to revise Mathematics at home, let us first have a look at the JEE Main 2026 exam pattern for Maths.
The paper-wise type of questions that will be asked in JEE Mains 2026 are as follows:
Paper | Subjects | Type of Questions |
Paper 1 (BE/BTech) | Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry | Objective Type – Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Numerical Value Questions; equal weightage to all three subjects |
Paper 2A (BArch) | Part-I: Mathematics | Objective Type – MCQs and Numerical Value Questions |
Part-II: Aptitude Test | Objective Type – MCQs | |
Part-III: Drawing Test | Questions to test drawing aptitude (Pen and Paper Based) | |
Paper 2B (BPlanning) | Part-I: Mathematics | Objective Type – MCQs and Numerical Value Questions |
Part-II: Aptitude Test | Objective Type – MCQs | |
Part-III: Planning-Based Questions | Objective Type – MCQs |
Subject | Total Number of Questions | Types of Questions |
Mathematics | 25 |

Along with the exam pattern, candidates are also advised to go through the JEE Main 2026 syllabus. This will help them to ensure that they have covered all the topics by now and are not missing out on any important topic.
Confused? Well, prepare a schedule and stick to it. Candidates are advised to prepare a timetable for JEE Main in which they should divide the syllabus of Mathematics for each day. Try to complete one chapter in a day. Solve as many questions as you can and try to focus on weak points. Let your weak areas become your strong areas.
You must have heard that practice makes a man perfect. Well, practicing also makes a man perfect at solving mathematical problems. While revising maths, practicing more and more questions is the best way to boost your confidence. Therefore, it is advisable for each applicant to start solving more and more JEE Main 2026 sample papers. Solving the sample papers not only helps to understand the exact pattern of the paper but also helps to know the strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, prepare a handy note of the formula for quick revision. Make it a habit to practice solving past year papers and sample papers day ensures regular engagement with a variety of questions, thus preparing for all types of questions that may appear in JEE Main.
While revising any topic, having doubts is normal. There is a high chance that the candidate will get stuck with any topic or question. At that time, allow the internet to become your guide. It has answers to all the queries just like your teacher or a guide.
YES!! It is very clear that Mathematics is a calculation-based subject. Most of the questions on this subject are formula based. Therefore, it is advisable to start making a guide that contains all the important formulas. This way, candidates can go through the list of formulas every other day as the chances of forgetting any important formula are eliminated.
This is another important step to take care of while revising the subject. There is no doubt that you are missing out on any topic while preparing for any subject. But when it comes to revision, firstly focus on the topics having high weightage and move to the topics having less weightage. To help candidates, we have compiled the previous year’s Topic/Chapter wise weightage for Mathematics.

Hello
Here is the short guidance for you to score well and prepare for JEE
Stick to a smart routine – Prioritize high-weightage topics and revise daily with a focused timetable.
Solve PYQs & mock tests – Practice like it’s the real thing; analyze mistakes without panic.
Quality over quantity – Understand concepts deeply rather than rushing through chapters.
Stay healthy & rested – Your brain needs sleep, water, and breaks to perform at its best.
Trust your journey – Stay calm, believe in your preparation, and avoid comparing with others.
Hello
Since you’re reappearing for your Class 12 boards in 2026, that will be counted as your official passing year. So, you will be eligible to write JEE Advanced in 2026 and 2027. Although you submitted the boards in 2025, that attempt won’t be considered due to the compartment. JEE Advanced rules allow 2 attempts in 2 consecutive years after passing 12th. So you still have both chances left, which is great! Just make sure you meet the other eligibility conditions too. Keep your focus strong, you’ve got this!

Hello aspirant,
Start with NCERT in every subject for JEE Main. For physics, use H.C. Verma and D.C. Pandey; for chemistry, use R.C. Mukherjee and O.P. Tandon; and for mathematics, use R.D. Sharma or Cengage. J.D. Lee assists with inorganic chemistry, while Morrison & Boyd assists with organic chemistry. Practice chapter-by-chapter Arihant or MTG past year's papers. For efficient preparation, concentrate on clear concepts, frequent revision, and passing practice exams.
Thank you
Hello,
Generally an income certificate isn't required for the JEE Main registration, but if you want to claim the EWS quota, then you need this. You must provide the certificate, issued by a government authority, as proof of your family's income being below the specified limit for the reservation category you wish to apply under.
I hope it will clear your query!!
