Mathematics is one of the subjects that require constant attention and are haunting for every jee main aspirant. JEE Main Mathematics Syllabus is huge and vast. The syllabus consists of several topics and never-ending problems. Besides this, the syllabus of JEE Main is not very different from that of JEE Advanced and board exams. Thus, it becomes extremely challenging for students to provide consistent attention to this one subject and prepare efficiently by making a study plan for this subject.
Nonetheless, it is never implied that it is not possible to overcome this issue. The objective of every jee aspirant is to score well in this section and the strategy to score well in this subject is to study smartly. This statement doesn't stand true only for this particular subject or exam but for any subject or any examination. It is imperative for students to prioritize the chapters according to their importance as per the syllabus of JEE Main Exam. Though the subject is important from the point of view of jee advanced exam as well. Students will be advised to arrange the most scoring chapters in order.
The JEE Main Mathematics Syllabus consists of almost 30 chapters that have been divided across 6 units. These 6 units are Algebra, Trigonometry, Differential Calculus, Analytical Geometry, Vectors, and Integral Calculus. These units are related to one another in various aspects. There are various other units that are dependent on each other. There is large number of questions made out of calculus topic that can only be solved with a thorough knowledge of Trigonometry topic.
Here in this article, we will share a list of the most scoring topics for Mathematics section of JEE Main Exam. The objective is to find out the easiest and most scoring topics amongst these subjects which take lesser time than expected.
-
Algebra: Algebra, mainly quadratic equations, has been famously known as one of the favorite topics amongst those who make jee main question paper. Not only does this topic hold a good weightage but also it is quite easy to be understood and prepared. Thus, this is one such chapter where students must spend a good amount of time and efforts. The amount of efforts this subject requires is quite high. The questions from this chapter are of quite a standard and devoting the right amount of efforts will help students increase their chances of solving these questions in time. One of the recommended books for this chapter is Arihant Coordinate Geometry. Students must study quadratic equations chapter from this book.
-
Trigonometry: The questions asked from this chapter in jee main exam are of various types. Generally, there are no questions asked belonging to pure trigonometry category. Nonetheless, the questions that often appear in jee main question paper are from inverse trigonometry. This chapter causes fear and anxiety amongst students due to a large number of formulae involves in it. One studied thoroughly, the chapter turns out to be quite interesting and easy to be understood by jee main aspirants. The chapter can boost students' confidence and their ability to solve these questions in an efficient manner and score well in the examination. Students can refer to ‘Trigonometry for JEE Main and Advanced' book by Arihant Publications.
-
Analytical Geometry: The chapter ‘Circles' is the easiest topic under analytical geometry. The fine part about this topic is that the questions are logic based and there are not too many formulae involved in this. The questions asked from this chapter are usually based totally on the grounds of fundamentals and so, aspirants who've a terrific understanding of concepts and logics can score well in this chapter. Also, maximum college students are pretty properly versed in the concepts and nuances of this chapter due to the fact that it's also a part of the class tenth syllabus. As a result, the students have to now no longer omit out on scoring well on the questions asked from this chapter. Coordinate Geometry written by SK Goyal is one of the best books to prepare from for this topic.
-
Differential Calculus: The topic Limits is the easiest and most scoring chapter that falls under Differential Calculus chapter. There is only one formula in this chapter i.e. L'Hopital's rule. The topic becomes extremely easy and possible to be mastered due to the presence of only one formula and absence of the other complications. All that students need is a proper plan to study and efficient efforts. A sheer amount of practice will get you through the exam. The recommended book for this chapter would be Differential Calculus by Amit Agarwal. This book is widely used by the toppers of jee main.
-
Integral Calculus: One tough topic is Integration, and this is the topic that freaks out students preparing for any entrance examination. As the topic consists of a large number of formulae, it becomes tough for students to cope with the topic. Nevertheless, it is considered one of the most interesting topics amongst students as it involves a lot of thinking and brain game. The chapter on definite integrals under integral calculus is undoubtedly the most scoring topic. This minimal set of formulae in this topic can get you excellent result if mastered proficiently. The book recommended for this chapter is Integral Calculus by Amit Agarwal as it has a good balance of logic and questions.
- Vectors: This is the easiest chapter in Mathematics syllabus. The entire unit is known to be easy and students can score well if the questions from this chapter appear. The difficulty level of questions asked from this topic are considered easier than the ones asked from other chapters. The book recommended to prepare for this topic is Vectors and 3D Geometry by Arihant Publications.
Students should keep in mind that scoring well in a section does not necessarily mean that it is the easiest topic. For example, certain integrals can be a high score topic, but they are not easy to master at all. Target the issues for which the reward-to-effort ratio is high. These are the topics that will get you the highest scores with the least amount of effort help you stand out from the competition. To ensure students are familiar with these chapters, they should spend considerable time reading theory from at least one reliable source. According to the theory, students should practice as many problems as possible from many different sources. That way you can capture a wide variety of problems as possible. Also, it will surely improve your thinking process and help you optimize your score.
