JEE Advanced Mathematics Weightage

JEE Advanced Mathematics Question-wise Weightage

Many aspirants think that the mathematics problem can most probably be solved with the help of brilliant shortcut tricks, and therefore in this misconception, they forget that the “killer shortcut tricks” are itself developed by one and the only thing “smart practice”.

However, based on the previous year analysis, the chapters along with the number of questions and marks tabulated below:

Chapter Name Number of Questions Marks
Application of Derivatives 3 9
Ellipse 1 3
Circles 2 6
Parabola 2 7
Definite Integral 2 7
Permutations and Combinations 1 3
Sequence and Series 1 3
Matrices 2 7
Limit and Continuity 1 4
Probability  1 4
Complex Numbers  1 4
Hyperbola 1 4

Marks-wise Topics Weightage

JEE Advanced - Marks wise Weightage of Topics

JEE Advanced Maths Preparation

JEE Advanced Mathematics 2024 Preparation

  • In order to prepare for JEE Advanced Mathematics, candidates should make a thorough analysis of JEE Advanced Mathematics Syllabus, topics that are frequently asked, and the weightage of important topics.
  • Some of the topics that candidates should prepare extremely well for JEE Advanced are Sets, Relation & Functions, 3-D Geometry, Conic Sections, scoring sections in JEE Advanced Mathematics Syllabus include Limits, Continuity, and Derivability, Quadratic Equation, Permutation and Combination, Circles, Binomial Theorem, Differential Equations
  • Sections that have less weightage as per the previous year's analysis are Inverse trigonometry, Mathematics Induction, Mathematical Reasoning, and Application of Integrals.
  • After completing JEE Advanced Mathematics Syllabus, candidates should ensure that they solve previous year papers, mock papers to solve a variety of questions which will help them with their practice and speed while giving JEE Advanced 2024.
