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.

Assertion-Reason (A-R) questions are a specific format used in subjects like Physics and Chemistry. These questions follow a simple format where you are presented with two statements - an assertion which is a claim about a concept and a reason which acts as the justification of the claim. Your task is to evaluate both the statements independently, after which a relationship is established between them. These types of questions were previously witnessed in competitive exams like JEE as they test more than just memorisation. As observed in the past patterns, both JEE Main and JEE Advanced used A–R questions, which led many students to feel that they were an integral part of their conceptual understanding. Even though JEE Main has not used this format for the last few years, JEE Advanced is still likely to bring them back anytime, depending on the exam pattern decided by the conducting IIT. With JEE 2026 approaching, many aspirants are wondering whether Assertion–Reason questions might reappear on the question paper. This article breaks down the trends, possibilities, and important things students should keep in mind.
