Easy Chapters in JEE Main Physics

In the JEE Mains exam, Physics is one of the most important sections. To crack the exam with a good score you need to focus on easy and scoring chapters. It is advised not to skip any chapter while preparing for a national-level exam like JEE Main. Your JEE Main preparation strategy must include all the chapters that are easy and quick to understand.

Chapters like Thermodynamics, Kinematics, Modern Physics and Waves & Optics are considered easier than other chapters. Some chapters like Modern Physics, Gravitation, Electrostatics, Rotational Motion and Simple Harmonic Motion are not only easy but also hold maximum weightage in the JEE Main exam. In 2025 it is expected that above 75 questions will be asked from Modern Physics.
