JEE Main Deleted Syllabus 2026: Full Topic-Wise List (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) + Smart Study Plan by VVT Coaching

VVT Coaching Chennai – Ranked #1 Best NEET&JEE Coaching Centre by Times Now!

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has once again streamlined the JEE Main Syllabus for 2026, removing certain topics across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics to reduce overload and improve conceptual focus.

Understanding what’s included and what’s removed helps students channel their preparation smartly and avoid wasting time on non-evaluated areas.

Why Knowing the Deleted JEE Main Syllabus Matters

Many students continue preparing unnecessary chapters due to outdated material, school advice, or old coaching resources. But JEE Main only tests what is officially included, and covering deleted chapters wastes valuable time.

Knowing the deleted syllabus:

Saves 40–60 hours of unnecessary effort
Helps optimize revision cycles
Increases accuracy by focusing on high-yield NTA topics
Makes mock-test prep more consistent
Improves stress management by removing overload

Updated Syllabus + Deleted Topics = Smarter Strategy

NTA has simplified the exam to make space for concept-based problem solving. This means practice and pattern recognition matter more than ever. And that’s where VVT Coaching’s learning system gives students a measurable advantage.

How VVT Coaching Helps You Maximize Scores with the Reduced JEE Main Syllabus

1. Error Exams – Stop Repeating Mistakes, Start Improving Faster

Most JEE students lose 20–40 marks due to repeated mistakes, not new concepts. VVT’s Error Exams identify:

Every repeated error
Every weak topic (even micro-topics)
Every recurring wrong approach

Then they build custom reattempt exams ONLY from those mistakes.

Result:
Accuracy increases, negative marking reduces, percentile jumps.

2. AI-Powered Mock Tests – Know Exactly What Affects Your Rank

VVT’s AI analysis tells you:

Which deleted topics you mistakenly revisited
Which active topics produce consistent errors
Your speed vs toppers
Accuracy leaks (chapter-wise + question-type-wise)
Time wastage due to overthinking / panic
Ideal attempt order for maximizing your percentile

This helps in designing a smart study plan aligned with the new syllabus.

3. Personalized Guidance – Weekly Planning Based on Updated Syllabus

Your mentor at VVT helps you:

Prioritize chapters still in the syllabus
Avoid deleted topics completely
Fix low-accuracy chapters
Plan daily/weekly revision cycles
Handle boards + JEE without burnout

Students no longer guess what to study, they follow a scientific plan.

4. Remedy Classes — Quick Fixes for Weak Topics (Only the Active Syllabus)

If chapters like:

3D Geometry
Electrostatics
Organic Reaction Mechanisms
Modern Physics
Quadratic Equations

are dragging down performance, VVT conducts micro-targeted Remedy Classes that rapidly fix conceptual gaps.

These classes are aligned to the updated syllabus, ensuring no time wasted on removed areas.

Smart Tips for Students After the Deleted Syllabus Update

Focus more on NCERT
NTA is moving toward simpler, concept-based testing.

Practise more PYQs
Most questions come from core NTA topics that remain unchanged.

Avoid wasting time on removed topics
Use the deleted syllabus list while planning your timetable.

Use mock tests to simulate real difficulty
Difficulty varies every shift; practice helps build stability.

Strengthen accuracy
Speed matters, but accuracy decides percentile.

Conclusion

The reduction in the JEE Main 2026 syllabus is a major opportunity, less syllabus means more accuracy, more focused preparation, and a higher chance of boosting percentile.

But success doesn’t depend on the syllabus alone. It depends on:

How precisely you practise
How effectively you fix mistakes
How consistently you revise
How smartly you manage time and stress

With VVT Coaching’s Error Exams, AI-powered analytics, Personalized Guidance, and Remedy Classes, every student gets a structured improvement system designed to push marks upward — predictably and sustainably.

Your JEE Main journey becomes simpler, faster, and more effective.

FAQs

1. What is the deleted syllabus for JEE Main 2026?

NTA has removed selected topics from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics to reduce syllabus load and make the exam more concept-oriented. Deleted topics include Mathematical Induction, advanced SHM concepts, Van de Graaff generator, certain Organic Chemistry mechanisms, and more. Students should strictly avoid preparing removed chapters to save time and improve accuracy.

2. Do questions ever come from deleted topics in JEE Main?

No. Once NTA officially removes a topic from the syllabus, it will not appear in the JEE Main exam. Many students waste time studying removed chapters due to outdated materials, which is why following the latest NTA syllabus and coaching guidance (like VVT’s AI-based analysis) is essential.

3. How will the deleted syllabus help improve my JEE Main rank?

With fewer chapters to study, students can:

Spend more time mastering high-weight topics
Increase accuracy and speed
Take more targeted mock tests
Reduce stress from content overload
Using VVT Coaching’s Error Exams, AI analytics, and Remedy Classes helps students convert this reduced syllabus into higher percentile gains.

4. Should I completely skip the deleted topics for Boards?

Some deleted JEE topics may still appear in CBSE/State Board syllabi.
If you are a board student, verify the board syllabus carefully.
However, for JEE preparation, deleted topics should be avoided to maintain focus and efficiency. VVT mentors provide dual-planning so students balance both exams without confusion.

5. How should I restructure my preparation based on the updated JEE syllabus?

Here’s the smart strategy:

Identify high-weight chapters still in the syllabus
Practise NTA-style PYQs and mock tests
Use Error Exams weekly to eliminate repeat mistakes
Attend Remedy Classes for weak-concept areas
Follow a personalized timetable aligned to the updated syllabus This ensures every hour of study contributes directly to percentile improvement.
