JEE Main 2020 chapter-wise weightage and total questions for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are given below.
While preparing for the JEE Main examination, in which the level of competition is sky-high, candidates would certainly want to know the JEE Main chapter wise weightage for each subject. In this article, we will discuss the JEE Main 2020 chapter wise weightage for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. However, candidates should have equal knowledge of each chapter. To obtain a good rank in JEE Main exam, it is also advisable not to keep the weightage of the topics in mind while studying them. Study each topic with utmost dedication and seriousness. The only way through which one can ace this exam is by preparing for the worst. However, to ease the curiosity among students we have provided JEE Main 2020 chapter wise weightage and total questions for each subject. By now, it is also expected that candidates have been thorough with JEE Main 2020 syllabus prescribed by the NTA.
JEE Main is one of the most competitive examinations in the country. Candidates appear for the JEE Main exam for admission to various NITs, IIITs and CFTIs and a fraction of students appear to qualify for JEE Main Advanced to get admission in IITs.
The JEE Main is held twice a year. For the academic year 2020-21, JEE Main 2020 January session was held from January 1 to 6 while the April session will be held from September 1 to 6. The National Testing Agency (NTA) postponed the second session of JEE Main 2020 due to COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown.
