How to read this page
Chapters tagged High appear in almost every JEE Main attempt and carry the bulk of marks. Medium chapters appear most years with 1–3 questions. Low chapters are still in the NTA syllabus but see 0–1 questions — revise after your high/medium list is solid.
Physics
NCERT Class 11 and 12 Physics form the base. High-yield areas for JEE Main are Mechanics, Electrodynamics and Modern Physics — together they typically carry 55–65% of the Physics paper marks.

Chemistry
Chemistry is the most scoring subject if you stick to NCERT. Physical Chemistry is highly formula-based (quick to master), Inorganic is almost pure NCERT recall, and Organic is reaction-mechanism driven.
