Thermodynamics Weightage in JEE Mains 2025

Thermodynamics Weightage in JEE Mains 2025: Thermodynamics not only forms an integral part of both physics and chemistry separately but it is also equally crucial in understanding concepts that combine topics from both subjects. Each year, there are 4 to 5 questions directly asked from thermodynamics making it one of the most important topics to score well in the JEE Main exam. Moreover, since the questions from this topic are mostly conceptual and formula-based it is expected that students will score well on this particular topic. To have a complete idea about the JEE Mains 2025 Weightage of Thermodynamics candidates can take a look in this article.

Best Way to Study Thermodynamics in JEE Mains 2025

Candidates can check the below table to focus on those strategies that will help them to attempt all the questions asked from this topic with ease.

Particulars

Details

Topics

What to Study

Key Concepts

Laws of Thermodynamics

  • First And Second Laws
  • Energy Conservation
  • Entropy

Heat Engines and Refrigerators

  • Carnot Cycle
  • Efficiency Formulas

Enthalpy and Internal Energy

Conceptual Shortcuts

  • Direct Proportion: For ideal gas, internal energy (U) is a function of temperature. Therefore, internal energy is directly proportional to changes in temperature
  • Polytropic Processes: If PV n = constant then, isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic processes are identified

Formula Revision

  • Carnot Efficiency
  • Molar Heat Capacities
  • First Law of Thermodynamics
  • Relation between Cp and Cv
  • Isothermal Process

Practise Common Types of Questions

Focus on questions from work done in different thermodynamic processes, efficiency of heat engines, heat transfer, changes in internal energy and work done in a cycle

Use of Graphs, Charts and Diagrams

Interpretation of PV and TS Diagrams

Though it's not wise to skip any topic for the JEE Main exam, however, if one is short on time, candidates can leave low-weightage topics and invest their time on the  important topics.

Can candidates get admission into NIT with 92 percentile in JEE Main?

If the candidates are seeking to get admission into the top-listed IIITs, and NITs, then it will be difficult for them with such a percentile score. However, the reserved category candidates can try their luck to get admission into the IIITs or NITs with 92 percentile marks.

Which is the hardest chapter in JEE Main Physics exam?

The hardest topics in the JEE Main Physics exam comprise Heat and Thermodynamics, Electrostatics and Magnetism, Mechanics, Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Optics, and Electromagnetic Induction.

 

Are previous year question papers enough for the JEE Main exam?

No. Candidates should base their JEE Main exam preparation on the previous year's question papers, mock tests and practice tests to ace the JEE Main exam with high marks.

Is it easy to score 170 in the JEE Main exam?

170 marks in the JEE Main exam equals to 98.85+ percentile, which in itself is a very good percentile. Through this, candidates can secure admission into the top premier institutes in India such as NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

Which topics have more weightage in the JEE Main Physics paper?

In the JEE Main Physics paper, chapters with the most weightage are Electrostatics, Optics, Current Electricity, and Mechanics whereas the moderate weightage chapters comprise Magnetism, Modern Physics, Waves, and Thermodynamics.
