JEE Main 2024 Syllabus: Paper 2

As per the latest information from NTA, there will be two parts in the second paper of JEE Main. Candidates aspiring to pursue B.Arch will have to take JEE Main Paper 2A whereas those aspiring to pursue B. Planning will have to take JEE Main Paper 2B. The syllabus for both papers 2A and 2B will be discussed in this article.

JEE Main Paper 2 Syllabus for 2024: 2A (B.Arch) and 2B (B. Planning)

NTA will be conducting JEE Main 2024 Paper 2A for B.Arch candidates and Paper 2B for B.Planning candidates. There will be three sections in JEE Main Paper 2A and 2B, each.  The first two parts of JEE Main 2024 Paper 2A and 2B will comprise Mathematics and Aptitude sections. So, the first two parts will be conducted online. 

The third part of Paper 2A will comprise a section for Drawing and that for Paper 2B will comprise a section for Planning. The Drawing section will be conducted offline.

There is no uniform JEE Main 2024 weightage for all topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Although weightage differs for every topic, it is recommended that candidates should go through every topic carefully irrespective of the number of questions and weightage of any topic. 

To cope with the reduced syllabus of most academic boards, NTA has declared that there will be options in Section B of JEE Main 2024 Paper 1 and Paper 2. Candidates will have to answer 25 questions in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. There will be negative marking for Section B in both papers. It is crucial to have a holistic approach to every detail of the topic covered in JEE Main 2024 syllabus to develop a strong foundation for the concepts of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Architecture, and Planning.
