JEE Main 2026:Be in the Top 2,50,000
The JEE Main 2026 application form tentatively opens in November 2025 and first session exam will take place in January and second session in April 2026. If you are aiming for IIT then you must try to be in the top 2,50,000 all india rank.
Syllabus-
As we all know PCM is the subject for Engineering courses and is based on the NCERT Class 11 and 12 Curriculum. It is designed for aspirants seeking admission into B.E./B. Tech, B.Arch, and B.Planning courses.
Expected Scores and Marks to Get into Top 2,50,000
- Based on recent trends, scoring around 100-110 marks out of 300 can typically place a candidate within the top 250,000, but this may vary slightly depending on difficulty and competition.
- Scoring above this range improves the rank significantly.
This strategy aligns with expert advice on cracking JEE Main with a rank inside 2,50,000 that ensures the opportunity to appear for JEE Advanced and all subsequent engineering admissions.
Online Exam Preparation Strategy
You should not forget to test yourself during your preparation many online tests are available. You must also try the Ministry of Education SATHEE portal for your preparation and doubt-clearing topics. The content on this is delivered by IIT Kanpur, which designed the website too.
IIT Pal is another thing that you can try, the concepts are explained by IIT professors. The videos are available there you can watch.
Swayam Prabha is another portal that you must try.
Let us talk about any changes this year in the syllabus.
For JEE Main 2026, there are no major changes in the syllabus compared to the previous years. The syllabus continues to be based primarily on the NCERT Class 11 and Class 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics curriculum, which remains consistent with the format followed in JEE Main 2024 and 2025.
However, the exam pattern has been refined to include:
- 5 compulsory numerical questions in each subject (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) in Paper 1.
- A greater emphasis on application-based and conceptual questions.
But in terms of syllabus topics and coverage, the core syllabus has remained unchanged, focusing on the same chapters and units as before without any exclusion or addition of major topics.
