JEE Main Syllabus

JEE Main syllabus revolves around three core subjects from Class 11 and Class 12: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Each subject will have two sections, sections A and B.

Section A will have multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and Section B will contain numerical value questions. In Section B, students have to attempt any five questions out of 10, and there is no negative marking for Section B.

MHT CET Syllabus

MHT CET exam is of 300 marks which consists of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics/Biology of 100 marks each. It gives 20% weightage to syllabus of Class 11 whereas 80% weightage to Class 12th syllabus. Therefore, syllabus is slightly different from JEE Main with respect to weightage of both exams. 

GATE Syllabus

syllabus for GATE varies across various disciplines and topics such as Verbal Ability and Numerical Ability are common topics for all papers. Moreover, syllabus for various specialisations is of graduation-level and candidates' ability to solve reasoning and numerical questions is also tested through this examination.

KEAM Syllabus

entrance examination consists of subjects such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of Class 11 and 12 level. KEAM question paper carries a total of 120 objective-type questions.

KCET Syllabus

KCET exam will test students' knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology.

Each question in exam will carry one mark with four options, out of which only one answer will be correct. There will be no negative marking in exam.
