JEE Main 2026 will be conducted by the National Testing Agency in two sessions, tentatively scheduled from January 21 to 30, 2026 and April 1 to 10, 2026. The Physics section follows the NCERT Class 11 and 12 syllabus, and the questions include theory-based concepts, numerical-type problems, and mixed-concept applications. Each paper includes 25 Physics questions. Based on JEE Main papers from 2021 to 2025 across all shifts, certain chapters repeatedly carry higher weightage. These high-weightage chapters for JEE Mains 2026 collectively form approximately 60% of the paper, making them important for scoring well. Topics such as Ray Optics, Electrostatics, Modern Physics, Rotational Motion, Thermodynamics, and Kinetic Theory of Gases consistently appear with higher frequency and involve both formula-based and reasoning-based questions.

The JEE Main 2026 Mathematics High Priority and Low Priority Chapters are a combination of the Classes 11th and 12th Science curriculum. The Mathematics section of the entrance test is considered the most difficult, time-consuming, and tricky of all. It also holds a good weightage in the JEE Main exam, and therefore, students are always advised to target securing the maximum score from this section. The high-priority chapters like Vector Algebra, 3D Geometry, Binomial Theorem, etc., have high weightage. Students who can answer all the high-priority topics will have the best chance of yielding a good score in the JEE Main exam. Some of the low-priority topics include Probability, Parabola, Trigonometric Equations, etc. The nature of the questions is numerical-type problems and mixed-concept applications. The NTA will be conducting the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 from January 21 to 30, 2026.

Jadavpur University Rolls Back Online Classes Decision for JELET Candidates: Jadavpur University has rolled back its initial decision to bar engineering diploma holders from BTech admissions via the lateral entrance test (JELET). The university will now accept these students, offering two options to accommodate their academic needs.


IIT Delhi STEM Mentorship Initiative: The Manasvi STEM Mentorship Programme of IIT Delhi will provide mentorship to 100 school girls, mainly those studying in government schools. The programme seeks to bring access to quality STEM education to young women who are most often deprived of exposure to advanced scientific learning spaces. It brings students from different schools to IIT Delhi and introduces them to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
