JEE Advanced is the later stage of JEE which a student reaches after clearing the JEE Main exam. Although the cumulative preparation of both the stages start very early from 11th class or even earlier. However, the syllabus of JEE advanced is slightly different from that of JEE main syllabus. The questions asked in JEE advanced are strictly based on the topics given in the syllabus. Hence, it is always advantageous to read the syllabus carefully beforehand.
The syllabus for JEE Advanced is divided into 3 parts-
The syllabus for JEE Advanced Maths is broadly divided into 8 different units. These are as follows-
| UNITS | TOPICS |
