A JEE Main study plan that fits your year

Tell it your attempt date, hours and where you stand. It orders every chapter by marks per hour, teaches the topics that keep coming back first, spaces the revision, adds tests and mocks, and tells you honestly what fits.

Chapters planned: 70; 11 not in the current JEE Main syllabus are left out
Must-know core: 124 topics; in 53 chapters; 67% of the analysed questions
Full preparation: 1,255 h; of chapter study from scratch, before mocks and tests
Marks per hour: 0.31–0.05; best to worst chapter

Key findings

1
124 of 191 topics were asked in 7 or more of the eight analysed years (2017, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026) and again in 2025 or 2026. They produced 67% of the analysed questions. The plan treats them as the must-know core.
2
687 individual ideas were asked in three or more different years. Each gets a slot in the must-know sweep before the exam.
3
The ten chapters with the best marks per study hour return 20% of expected marks for 18% of chapter hours. 7 of the ten are Chemistry, led by Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques.
4
Each subject is 100 of the 300 marks, but the hours differ: Maths takes the most, 35% of chapter hours. Chemistry returns about 0.26 marks an hour against 0.23 in Maths.

Expected marks

The three subjects carry equal marks, so the hours bar shows where the study time goes. Hours come from how hard each chapter's past questions were and how much else builds on it.

Questions

About the planner

Where do the numbers come from?

From every question in the JEE Main Paper 1 shifts Lumi has analysed from 2017 to 2026, mapped to chapters, topics and ideas. It covers 108 of the 174 JEE Main shifts held from 2017 to 2026 (9,285 Paper 1 questions), not every shift. Expected questions per chapter weight recent years more; hours come from how hard a chapter's questions were and how much else builds on it.

How is the paper marked?

The current JEE Main Paper 1 has 75 questions, 25 in each of Physics, Chemistry and Maths, for 300 marks: +4 for a right answer and −1 for a wrong one. The plan's mocks are full 3-hour papers. Check NTA's information bulletin for the rules of your session.

January or April: which session does it plan for?

The one you set. JEE Main runs in two sessions, and the plan counts down to the attempt date you enter, January or April. It starts at 1 April as a placeholder; check NTA's notice for your session's dates and set the day you sit the paper.

What is the must-know core?

Topics asked in at least 7 of the 8 analysed years and still asked in 2025 or 2026, and ideas asked in three or more different years. The plan teaches them first, revises them more often and never cuts them, even when time is short. They are patterns in past papers, not a forecast of the next one.

Is the projected score a prediction?

No. It is an estimate of marks from the chapters you cover, at the level the plan assumes, using past weightage. Negative marking, the paper itself and exam-day nerves are not in it. Use it to compare plans, not to forecast a percentile.

What happens if I fall behind?

Tick blocks off as you finish them. The planner rebuilds everything from tomorrow around what is left and shows how far ahead or behind you are. If the work no longer fits, it trims the lowest-priority chapters first and tells you the marks at stake.

Are dropped chapters in the plan?

No. Chapters not in the current JEE Main syllabus get no time.
