Frequently Asked Questions
Are fluids important for JEE?
Yes, Fluids do carry some importance in JEE Main with 1-2 questions annually. It contains formula-based and concept-type direct questions, mostly with reference to the practical application aspect of fluid flow and pressure dynamics.
A clear knowledge of this chapter can help in achieving more marks with less effort.
Which is the hardest chapter in JEE Mains?
There are few chapters of JEE Main Physics that are harder than others because they contain challenging topics, lengthy problems, and problematic problem-solving.
Topics such as Rotational Motion, Electromagnetic Induction, and Optics are tough because one has to be very well understanding for the same.
Toughest Chapters in JEE Main Physics
| Chapter | Reason Of Difficulty | Weightage (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Rotational Motion | Involves more than one force, torque, and inertia | 7-9% |
| Electromagnetic Induction | Flux changes, Lenz's Law, and calculus-based | 4-5% |
| Waves & Oscillations | SHM concepts, resonance, and wave properties | 6-7% |
| Current Electricity | Complex circuit solving using Kirchhoff's rules | 6-8% |
| Optics (Wave & Ray) | Needs careful ray-tracing and wave concepts | 7-8% |
What rank is 99.5 in JEE Mains?
Having a 99.5 percentile in JEE Main means you're in the top 0.5%. Based on past year trends, it is equivalent to an AIR of between 6,000 and 7,500, depending on the number of test-takers.
| Percentile | Estimated Rank (AIR) |
| 99.9+ | 1,000 - 1,500 |
| 99.8 | 2,000 - 3,500 |
| 99.5 | 6,000 - 7,500 |
| 99 | 9,000 - 11,000 |
Is solid state in the JEE Mains syllabus?
Yes, Solid State is part of JEE Main's Class 12 Physical Chemistry syllabus of JEE Main. It is a low to moderate weightage topic with 1-2 questions every year, mostly related to crystal lattices, unit cells, and defects.
It's a scoring topic with easy formula-based questions.
