Important Topics

Maths – Mathematics paper generally worries the JEE Mains & Advanced aspirants. However those who follow a smart but constant regimen and strategy during the JEE preparation, succeed for sure in the exam. The basic pillars of the JEE Advanced Mathematics are Differential & Integral Calculus and Algebra (complex numbers, quadratic equations, AP, GP and HP, Permutation & Combination, Binomial Theorem, complete matrix section, 3D analytical geometry and Vectors). These are the parts of Mathematics from where a JEE Advanced aspirant many expect numerous and tough questions.

Physics – For Mechanics section, an aspirant must go through relative velocity, projectiles, conservation of linear momentum and mechanical energy, center of mass, elastic and non-elastic collisions, Gravitational potential and field, Escape Velocity, parallel and perpendicular axes theorems, moment of inertia, Hooke’s law, Young’s modulus, Viscosity, surface tension, Stoke’s Law, Bernoulli’s theorem, Resonance & Doppler Effect.

The General Physics is totally unpredictable and hence one needs to go through what he/she can i.e; from Unit & Dimensions to Resistance.

In Thermal Physics, an aspirant must work hard on Idea Gas Laws (Cv, Cp), bulk modulus, Kirchhoff’s law, Stefan’s law, Wien’s displacement law, Coulomb’s Law, Capacitance, Ohm’s law (series & parallel), heating effect of current, Biot–Savart’s law, Ampere’s law and EMI.

For Optics, the important topics are Huygen’s principle, TIR, Combination of thin lenses and mirrors and double-slit experiment.

Chemistry – For Physical Chemistry, the vital topics are mole concept, oxidation-reduction problems, molarity, molality, normality, ideal gas equation, Kinetic theory of gasses, Bohr’s Model, De Broglie hypothesis, s, p & d orbital shapes and hybridisation, electronic configuration of elements, Aufbau’s Principle, Hund’s rule, Pauli’s exclusion principle, VSEPR model, Enthalpy, Entropy, Hess’s Law, pH and buffer solutions, Le Chatelier’s principle, Electrochemistry, Solid state, Nuclear Chemistry and Chemical Kinematics.

The Organic and Inorganic Chemistry should be prepared completely as per the Official JEE Advanced Syllabus without escaping any part. Candidates are advised to follow the Official JEE Syllabus only and prepare the maximum they can. However the primary parts have been discussed above to reduce the stress a bit.
