The Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), is one India’s toughest exams and the gateway to top government-funded engineering institutes of the country. The first necessary step for aspirants of the exam is to know the syllabus in-depth.
The Current Trends
Just like previous years, the JEE syllabus will be as prescribed by CBSE, from 11th and 12th standard NCERT textbooks. So, to prepare well, aspirants need to be thorough with all concepts in the NCERT books.
It has been reported that the JEE might be conducted twice a year by National Testing Agency (NTA). If reports are to be believed, aspirants can expect some changes in the pattern of the exam. Though the pattern of the exam might change, it is highly likely that JEE 2019 syllabus will be from NCERT.
