Methodology
Every topic in our syllabus carries an expected-marks value derived from the frequency and marks of matching questions across 4,543 solved JEE Main PYQs (2023–2026). A chapter's weightage is the sum of its topics' expected marks; its share is that sum divided by the subject total. NTA does not publish official weightage - treat these as data-backed expectations, not guarantees.
