Most Important Chapters For JEE Mains Maths 2025

Important, easy, and scoring chapters for JEE Mains Maths directly depend on their weightage in the exam paper. If the chapter or topic possesses high weightage, it is considered to be important. There is nothing called easier for a JEE aspirant; thus, if looking for some shortcut, then you should have to think twice before taking the exam. Even easier topics or concepts can be asked in a complex way in the JEE Main exam. Thus, the only thing you can do is put effort into each topic and revise daily.

JEE Mains 2025 Maths Study Strategy

Here is the simple strategy given for the aspirants who will appear for the exam soon. This is a quick yet effective tip to revise and prepare for the exam a day before it.

Day Before the Exam

Morning (3 hours)

Revise Differential Calculus (13%):

  • Focus on Continuity and Differentiability and Methods of Differentiation.
  • Practice important formulas and problem-solving techniques.

Go through Integral Calculus (10%):

  • Emphasise Definite Integration (King’s Rule, Properties IV–VI) and Area under the Curve.

Afternoon (2 hours)

Review Coordinate Geometry (7%):

  • Prioritise Circle, Ellipse, and Parabola with solved examples.

Evening (2 hours)

  • Brush up on Vector and 3D Geometry (7%):
    • Study the Shortest Distance Between Lines and Vector Triple Product.

Night (1 hour)

  • Revise key topics from Mathematical Reasoning, Binomial Theorem, and Permutation & Combination.
  • Focus on shortcut tricks and solved problems for quick revision.

Exam Day Morning

Quick Formula Revision (1.5 hours)

Focus on:

  • Important Formulas for Differential and Integral Calculus.
  • Key results in Coordinate Geometry, Vector & 3D Geometry.

Solve 10–15 Questions (1 hour)

  • Pick medium-difficulty problems from past year questions (PYQs).
 

Revise these high-weightage topics to prioritise to be ready for the exam day:

Topic

Weightage (%)

Expected Focus

Differential Calculus
