JEE Advanced Physics Syllabus 2024

Physics plays a significant role in the JEE Advanced exam. The syllabus is divided into 7
units, each of which is assigned a weightage. The JEE Advanced Physics syllabus 2024
covers a wide range of topics and is divided into General Physics, Mechanics,
Electromagnetism, Optics, Modern Physics and Thermodynamics. This section of the
syllabus is further divided into subsections, which cover specific topics.
