Important Topics for JEE Main and Advanced 2026- JEE Main 2026 and JEE Advanced 2026 are considered the most difficult competitive exams. After qualifying JEE Main, students will become eligible for JEE Advanced. Preparing for JEE Main and Advanced 2026 requires a focused and strategic approach, and the most important part of this journey is knowing which topics matter the most. The syllabus for both exams is vast, but not all chapters carry equal weight. Some topics are repeatedly asked every year and hold higher importance.
The JEE Main 2026 question paper will consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). As per the marking scheme, four marks will be awarded for each correct answer, one mark will be deducted for each wrong response. Those who will leave the question unanswered will get 0 marks.
Notably, if more than one option is found to be correct then four marks will be given to only those who have marked any of the correct options. If all option s are found to be correct then four marks will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question.
In this article, important topics for JEE Main and Advanced 2026 are provided along with the subjectwise division of chapters with some preparation tips by experts. Before knowing important topics students must go through to the syllabus for JEE Main 2026 to make a complete stretagy of exam.

Study and complete the entire syllabus of the exam so that nothing is missed. Preparation should be done in a way to get a conceptual understanding of all topics in every subject. Study from the right books, books which are easy to understand and have examples to clear the concepts. Take help from your teachers or coaching wherever necessary
Revise the topics regularly that you study. Revision is very important as topics that are not revised can get out of the memory and be easily forgotten.
Practice mock tests and sample papers. JEE Main mock tests and sample papers are very useful in self-evaluating the preparation level. Similarly, solving sample papers will help in getting rid of the exam fear, and questions and keeping track of time management.
Do not study anything new in the last week of preparation. Only take full-length practice sets and revise the JEE Advanced important topics in last week
Stay motivated and try to stay away from anxiety and stress.

Hello dear candidate,
You can fill your JEE main and advance forms 2026 normally . No, your 11th registration number will not cause any problem.
You will be treated as 12th appearing student in 2026, not as a dropper . You just need to make sure that your CBSE 12th result comes out in 2026 before counselling.
Thank you.
To be eligible for Himachal Pradesh state quota you must have passed atleast two examinations from Himachal pradesh including the 10th and 12th grades. The other criteria are for government employee wards, if the parents have worked there for atleast two years and completed their 10th and 12th from HP.
Hello, Yes, this will almost certainly cause a major problem during your JEE 2026 application.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is extremely strict about data matching. When you fill out the JEE application, you are required to enter your name, date of birth, and your parents' names exactly as they appear on your 10th-grade marksheet.
The problem will occur during identity verification. The system will try to match the details you entered (from your 10th marksheet) with the data stored in your Aadhaar. When it sees that the father's name does not match, your application will be flagged for a mismatch and will likely be rejected. Even though your name is correct, a mismatch in your father's name is considered a critical data error.
You have time before 2026, so you must get this fixed. The best solution is to get your Aadhaar card corrected. Go to a permanent Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) with your original 10th marksheet and use it as the official proof to update your father's name on your Aadhaar. Do not wait until the JEE registration period begins, as this process can sometimes take time.

Hello, Based on recent JEE Main trends, here are the approximate targets for the OBC-NCL category.
It is difficult to give an exact "marks" target for 2026, as the marks vs. percentile data changes every year and with every single exam shift (depending on its difficulty). However, as a safe estimate, you could aim for 135-145+ marks for the 20k rank and 155-165+ marks for the 10k rank. You should always focus on maximizing your percentile, as that is the more reliable metric.
