The JEE Main 2027 syllabus is the list of Class 11 and 12 topics NTA tests in Paper 1 (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), Paper 2A (B.Arch) and Paper 2B (B.Planning). NTA has not released a separate 2027 syllabus yet, so the JEE Main 2026 syllabus is the latest official version to prepare from.

What is the JEE Main B.Arch (Paper 2A) syllabus?
Paper 2A has three parts: the same Mathematics units as Paper 1, an Aptitude Test and a Drawing Test.
- Aptitude, unit 1: awareness of persons, buildings and materials; objects and textures related to architecture; visualising 3D objects from 2D drawings; analytical reasoning and mental ability (visual, numerical, verbal)
- Aptitude, unit 2: 3D perception, scale and proportion, colour, texture, harmony and contrast; drawing geometric or abstract shapes; transformation of 2D and 3D forms; plans, elevations and 3D views
- Drawing Test: sketching scenes and activities from memory of urbanscape (markets, festivals, street scenes, monuments), landscape (riverfronts, gardens, trees) and rural life, on a drawing sheet
What is the JEE Main B.Planning (Paper 2B) syllabus?
Paper 2B has the same Mathematics and Aptitude parts as Paper 2A, plus a Planning section in place of drawing.
- General awareness: prominent cities, development issues and government programmes
- Social sciences: nationalism, colonialism and colonial cities, industrialisation, resources and development, the national economy, human settlements, federalism, democracy, the Constitution, poverty, population, urbanisation and rural development
- Thinking skills: unseen passages, map reading (scale, distance, direction, area), critical reasoning, charts, graphs and tables, and basic statistics
What is the JEE Main 2027 exam pattern and marking scheme?
Under the latest (2026) pattern, each paper lasts 3 hours and both MCQs and numerical questions carry negative marking.
| Paper | Sections and questions | Total questions | Marks | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) | Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry: 20 MCQs + 5 numerical each | 75 | 300 | Computer-based test (CBT) |
| Paper 2A (B.Arch) | Mathematics 25 (20 MCQ + 5 numerical), Aptitude 50, Drawing 2 | 77 | 400 | CBT; Drawing on an A4 sheet (pen and paper) |
| Paper 2B (B.Planning) | Mathematics 25 (20 MCQ + 5 numerical), Aptitude 50, Planning 25 | 100 | 400 | CBT |
- Correct answer (MCQ or numerical): +4
- Wrong answer (MCQ or numerical): -1
- Unanswered or marked for review: 0
- Numerical answers are entered as integers, rounded off to the nearest whole number
- If a question is dropped, all candidates in that shift get +4
- Drawing Test (Paper 2A): 2 questions marked out of 100
Where can I download the JEE Main 2027 syllabus PDF?
The latest official syllabus PDF is the JEE Main 2026 syllabus on jeemain.nta.nic.in, covering Paper 1, 2A and 2B. NTA usually releases the new syllabus with the Session 1 notification, so check for a 2027 version once registration opens.
