Latest official baseline verified 27 August 2026
Browse the JEE syllabus by exam, subject, unit group, chapter and topic. The page uses the latest syllabus documents currently listed by NTA and JEE Advanced, then adds prerequisite paths so you can decide what to learn first.
In short
The latest official documents available when this page was verified were JEE Main 2026 and JEE Advanced 2026. No 2027 syllabus was listed on the official portals on 27 August 2026. Students preparing for 2027 can use this as a planning baseline, but must recheck when the new official documents are published.

Checked against the official NTA syllabus page and the official JEE Advanced 2026 syllabus. Verified 27 August 2026. Recheck when NTA or JEE Advanced publishes a new cycle syllabus document.
JEE Main and JEE Advanced share a large PCM foundation, but they are governed by separate official syllabus documents. Prepare from the document for your target exam, not from a combined coaching list that hides the differences.

Do not reduce the difference to the idea that Advanced is just deeper. The official documents differ in both wording and listed scope.
Academic control: this comparison contains selected verified examples, not an exhaustive set-difference calculation. Main-only, Advanced-only or Both badges will be generated only from a reviewed topic-level crosswalk.
The official syllabus tells you what may be tested. It does not assign official chapter-level percentages. Rank Sarthi will not convert coaching estimates into official-looking syllabus data.
Rank Sarthi learning structure. These are dependency paths, not official exam order, not weightage and not a claim about question frequency. Learn the concept that later chapters depend on before the chapter that consumes it.
Academic review required: every prerequisite edge is validated before this page is considered for indexation. These paths are pedagogical relationships, not official syllabus order.
Rank Sarthi learning structure. Connections between chapters that questions frequently combine.
Rank Sarthi learning structure. Do not read the syllabus once and forget it. Give every chapter one current status, and change the status only when evidence changes.
The five-status table and the weekly loop remain fully usable without a Rank Sarthi account or diagnostic tool.

On 27 August 2026, the latest syllabus documents listed on the official portals were JEE Main 2026 and JEE Advanced 2026. The JEE Advanced document states that its 2026 syllabus remains the same as 2025.
No 2027 syllabus was listed on the official JEE Main or JEE Advanced syllabus pages checked on 27 August 2026. Use the latest official 2026 documents as a temporary planning baseline and recheck when the authorities publish the next cycle.
The official 2026 Paper 1 syllabus contains 14 Mathematics units, 20 Physics units and 20 Chemistry units, for 54 units in total.
No. They overlap substantially across Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, but the official documents use different headings and include differences in listed scope. Use the exam-specific explorer and official source for exclusions.
No. This explorer is for Paper 1 B.E./B.Tech and JEE Advanced. The official NTA syllabus also contains Paper 2A B.Arch and Paper 2B B.Planning, which include aptitude plus drawing or planning scope.
The official syllabus does not publish chapter-level weightage. Historical analysis can show what appeared in a defined paper sample, but it must not be presented as guaranteed or official.
Not necessarily. The official document defines scope, not the best learning sequence for every student. Use prerequisites to avoid studying a dependent chapter before its foundation.
Use evidence-based states: not started, learning, practice ready, timed ready and revision due. Do not mark a chapter complete only because a lecture or chapter has been watched once.
No. Use the separate JEE Advanced syllabus. The official Advanced document includes named scope that does not appear as JEE Main 2026 units, especially in Chemistry.
