NTA will shortly release the JEE Main Syllabus 2025 at jeemain.nta.ac.in. Last Year, the complete syllabus of JEE Main underwent some major changes. According to the latest syllabus guidelines, the weightage of Physics has dropped to 22.5%. Due to these changes in the syllabus, certain shifts in chapter-wise weightage have been observed. Kinematics are among such topics. It’s among the least weightage topics in JEE Main Physics Syllabus 2025. This chapter holds 1.39% weightage in the whole syllabus.
- Kinematics is a part of the General Physics section, and every year around 2-3 questions are asked from this chapter. Due to the drop in weightage, you can expect 1-2 questions in JEE Main 2025.
- Physics and Measurement in JEE Mains Physics Syllabus 2025 covers all the basic concepts on units and measurements, fundamentals of units, dimensions etc.
Aspirants consider Kinematics as one of the Easiest Chapters in Physics for JEE Main 2025. Even though this chapter has the least weightage in the syllabus, to develop a strong foundation in physics, this particular chapter plays a pivotal role. Hence the candidates need to develop a clear understanding of this chapter. The list of most asked questions from this chapter will help the students with their preparation.
