JEE Main Syllabus 2027 — Overview
The JEE Main 2027 Syllabus has been officially released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) at jeemain.nta.nic.in. It covers topics from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics based on the NCERT curriculum of Classes 11 and 12. For the 2027 exam, NTA has confirmed no new changes to the syllabus compared to 2025. The revisions made in 2024 (topic deletions based on NCERT rationalisation) continue to apply.
JEE Main is conducted in two papers:
-
Paper 1 — B.E./B.Tech. (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics)
-
Paper 2A — B.Arch. (Mathematics, General Aptitude, Drawing)
-
Paper 2B — B.Planning (Mathematics, General Aptitude, Planning)
