Is There Any Change in the Syllabus of the JEE 2021?

No significant changes have been made to the syllabus of JEE Main 2021. The syllabus remains the same as it was in the previous year. However, keeping in view the changes made by various Boards across India, NTA (National Testing Agency) has decided to introduce a new structure for the Question Paper. This includes a total of 90 questions, out of which only 75 are to be attempted by the candidates.

NTA has also introduced an optional section containing 15 questions, with no negative marking for these questions. This gives students some flexibility in their preparation strategy.

For JEE aspirants, the key points to remember are:

There is no change in the syllabus. The examination will consist of a total of 90 questions. Candidates need to attempt only 75 questions. No negative marking for the 15 optional questions. The structure is yet to be finalized.

Waiting for NEET Syllabus Updates

There is no reduction in the NEET 2021 syllabus, although some sources suggest that NEET aspirants can expect reductions in the syllabus. According to some information, NTA (National Testing Agency) is considering a 30% reduction in the syllabus due to the disruption in the education system caused by the pandemic.

For now, students should focus on the NEET 2020 syllabus and continue their preparation accordingly.
