With JEE Main 2016 round the corner, students must be looking for important questions to bank upon in the remaining days. In this article, Plancess gives you a complete list of important topics in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) for JEE Main.

JEE question paper comprises of approximately 45% – 50% syllabus of Classes 11th and 12th. Based on the syllabus of these classes and trend of past JEE papers, listed below are the important topics for PCM.

Important Topics for Physics

Physics is termed as a difficult subject for some candidates. Revising the below topics might help you score relatively good marks in the final exam. Check below.

Important topics: Kinematics, Gravitation, Fluids, Heat & Thermodynamics, Waves & Sound, Capacitors & Electrostatics, Magnetics, Electromagnetic Induction, Optics & Modern Physics.

Study tips: Conceptual clarity is essential to score well in this subject. Expert suggests practicing maximum problems regularly.

Important Topics for Chemistry

Most students find it difficult to recall chemical formulas. They often gets confused with the reactions. Hence, we have listed few important topics that carries maximum marks in the exam.

Important topics: Coordination Chemistry & Chemical Bonding in Inorganic Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Chemical & Ionic Equilibrium, Mole Concept in Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.

Study tip: Skimming through the periodic is crucial. Students must read NCERT books for Inorganic Chemistry. In order to excel in Organic Chemistry, develop your basics. In Physical Chemistry focus on numerical.

Important Topics for Mathematics

Mathematics is typically, universally considered as the toughest subject, especially for weak students. For them, listed below are the important topics.

Important topics: Quadratic Equations & Expressions, Complex Numbers, Probability, Vectors, Matrices in Algebra; Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola in Coordinate Geometry; Functions, Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, 

Application of Derivatives, Definite Integral in Calculus.

Study tip: Mathematics demand for maximum practice. This can be done using previous year question papers and attempting online mock tests. It is important to solve problems regularly to build up your confidence.

Plancess experts recommend JEE Main aspirants to avoid being choosy when it comes to preparing for PCM. It is because the number of questions is more in the objective paper, where the questions come from a combination of concepts from several topics.
