JEE Main Latest NTA Update: Syllabus Changes for Class 12 Students by Sachin Sir PW

JEE Main syllabus updates, particularly the removal of 'Tangents and Normals', are often misleading. Despite official removal, concepts from these topics, along with Trigonometric Equations and Arithmetico-Geometric Progression, continue to appear in exam questions. Students must thoroughly study all topics to overcome this discrepancy and prepare effectively.

MD: Get the latest JEE Main syllabus update for Class 12 students by Sachin Sir PW, including the official removal of Tangents and Normals and why questions from deleted topics still appear in exams.

JEE Main Syllabus Update by Sachin Sir

In the latest NTA update on JEE Main syllabus changes for Class 12 students, Sachin Sir (Physics Wallah) has shared an important and honest analysis in his video. He highlights how relying only on the officially reduced syllabus can be risky, as several “deleted” topics continue to influence real exam questions.

Through this detailed video explanation, Sachin Sir warns aspirants about the gap between the stated syllabus and actual JEE Main paper trends, especially for topics like Tangents and Normals, Trigonometric Equations, and AGP. This update is crucial for students aiming to avoid common traps and prepare smartly with a complete, exam-oriented approach rather than depending solely on syllabus notifications.

Critical Warning: JEE Mains Syllabus vs. Exam Reality

A significant update for the JEE Mains syllabus is the official removal of the topic Tangents and Normals. This applies to JEE Advanced as well. While this might appear beneficial, faculty emphasize that this removal can be misleading, creating a "scam" for unprepared students due to a critical discrepancy.

JEE Main Stated Syllabus vs. Actual Exam Questions

The core issue lies in the difference between topics officially removed from the syllabus and concepts still required to solve problems in the actual JEE Mains exam.

• The "Removed" Topic: Tangents and Normals

• Official Stance: Tangent and Normal are not part of the JEE Mains syllabus.

• Reality: Despite being removed two years ago, questions depending on these concepts frequently appear.

• Example: A question in JEE Mains 2025 directly involved the application of the normal, with an answer involving the expression 7²/8.

• Conclusion: Applications of tangents and normals are still tested, requiring knowledge of how to form and use their equations.

Other "Removed" Topics That Still Appear in Exams

Some removed topics from JEE Main syllabus is still asked in the exam:

• Trigonometric Equations: Officially removed, yet questions continue to be asked.

• Arithmetic-Geometric Progression (AGP): Not officially in the syllabus, but questions appear.

• Miscellaneous Sequences: Topics like the telescopic method and the method of difference are officially excluded from the JEE Mains syllabus, yet they are tested.

You must study everything that is being taught in this course, regardless of what the official syllabus states. Exam setters may have overlooked removing questions related to these "deleted" topics, creating a trap for students who skip them. Thorough preparation covering all taught material is essential to avoid this pitfall.
