JEE Main 2026 – High Weightage Maths Chapters

JEE Main 2026 – High Weightage Maths Chapters (Updated Analysis)

Updated for 2026: This guide highlights the high-weightage Mathematics chapters for JEE Main 2026 based on recent exam trends and NTA paper patterns. Students can use this chapter-wise weightage to plan smarter and score higher in the Maths section.

Maths in JEE Main often feels unpredictable, but chapter importance stays remarkably consistent across years. While every chapter matters, certain topics repeatedly carry more marks and offer the best return on time invested. This article combines data from past papers to give a reliable weightage map for 2026 aspirants.

JEE Main 2026 Maths – Chapter-Wise Weightage Overview

Below is a table that breaks down the approximate marks weightage for each important Mathematics chapter in JEE Main over recent years.

Chapter Expected Marks Importance Level
Coordinate Geometry 12–16 Very High
Calculus (Differentiation + Integration) 20–28 Very High
Vectors & 3D Geometry 8–12 High
Probability 4–8 High
Matrices & Determinants 6–8 Medium–High
Sequence & Series 4–6 Medium
Quadratic Equations 4–6 Medium
Trigonometry 4–6 Medium
Binomial Theorem 2–4 Low–Medium
Most scoring chapters for JEE Main Maths are Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, and Vectors & 3D Geometry. These three areas alone can contribute around 40–50% of the Maths section.

High-Priority Maths Chapters for JEE Main 2026

Calculus (Differentiation & Integration)

  • Limits & Continuity
  • Differentiation and its Applications
  • Integration (Definite & Indefinite)
  • Differential Equations
  • Area under Curves

Weightage: 20–28 marks. Very powerful chapter for scoring high.

Coordinate Geometry

  • Straight Lines
  • Circles
  • Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola

Weightage: 12–16 marks. Very reliable scoring segment.

Vectors & 3D Geometry

Weightage: 8–12 marks. Straightforward if you memorize the vector formulas and practice 3D orientation problems.

Probability & Combinatorics

Weightage: 4–8 marks. Can be solved quickly with a few good formula-based questions.

Smart Preparation Strategy Based on Chapter Weightage

Strategy Tip: Allocate more time to chapters that consistently fetch high marks, but don’t ignore the medium-weight ones — they fill the gaps.
  • Finish NCERT and your basic textbooks first for foundational understanding.
  • Use top-tier reference books to deepen your concepts in Calculus and Geometry.
  • Solve previous-year JEE Main Maths papers to get accustomed to question patterns.
  • Allocate 40–45% of your study time to top three chapters (Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, Vectors).
  • Revise formulas weekly so nothing is forgotten.
This weightage-based strategy will help you maximize your score efficiently. Focus on high-yield chapters, but don’t completely skip medium-weight topics.

Indefinite Integration: Complete Notes for JEE Mains & Advanced

Indefinite Integration – Complete Revision (JEE Mains & Advanced) Indefinite Integration is not about memorising random formulas — it is about identifying forms . JEE strictly rotates questions around a fixed set of standard integrals and methods . This note covers the entire official syllabus with zero gaps. 1. Definition \[ \int f(x)\,dx = F(x)+C \quad \text{where } \frac{dF}{dx}=f(x) \] 2. ALL Standard Integrals (Must Memorise) \(\int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C,\; n\neq-1\) \(\int \frac{1}{x}dx = \ln|x|+C\) \(\int e^x dx = e^x+C\) \(\int a^x dx = \frac{a^x}{\ln a}+C\) \(\int \sin x dx = -\cos x + C\) \(\int \cos x dx = \sin x + C\) \(\int \sec^2 x dx = \tan x + C\) \(\int \csc^2 x dx = -\cot x + C\) \(\int \sec x\tan x dx = \sec x + C\) \(\int \csc x\cot x dx = -\csc x + C\) 3. SIX IMPORTANT FORMS (JEE CORE) Form 1: \(\int \frac{1}{x^2+a^2}dx\) \[ = \frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+C \] Form 2: \(\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}dx\) \[...
