Subject-Wise Trends in JEE & NEET: What’s Getting Tougher and What’s Easier -2026

Every year, lakhs of students appear for JEE (Main & Advanced) and NEET, and the question patterns keep evolving. Understanding subject-wise trends can help aspirants fine-tune their preparation strategies. Here’s a breakdown of recent exam trends and what students can expect going forward.


  • JEE Trend: Physics in JEE Mains is becoming more conceptual with application-based numerical questions. JEE Advanced often tests multi-concept problems that combine mechanics, electricity, and modern physics.
  • NEET Trend: Physics remains the toughest subject for most NEET aspirants. Recent papers show increasing weightage for Electrostatics, Current Electricity, and Modern Physics.
  • What’s Getting Tougher: Numerical-heavy problem-solving and application-based questions.
  • What’s Easier: Direct formula-based questions are reducing, but NCERT examples still form the base.

  • JEE Trend: Chemistry has become a score-booster for JEE. Organic Chemistry questions now demand more focus on mechanisms rather than rote memorization. Inorganic questions are largely NCERT-based.
  • NEET Trend: Chemistry questions remain NCERT-centric, with a steady balance of Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry.
  • What’s Getting Tougher: Organic Chemistry mechanisms and exceptions in Inorganic Chemistry.
  • What’s Easier: NCERT-based fact-based questions in Inorganic Chemistry.

  • Trend: Mathematics in JEE is witnessing more lengthy and calculation-heavy problems, especially in Calculus and Algebra. Coordinate Geometry continues to be scoring for well-prepared students.
  • What’s Getting Tougher: Lengthy problems in Algebra (Matrices, Probability, Complex Numbers) and Calculus.
  • What’s Easier: Straightforward questions in Coordinate Geometry and Trigonometry.

  • Trend: Biology continues to dominate NEET, carrying 50% weightage. Papers are becoming more analytical, moving beyond direct NCERT lines. Diagrams and application-based questions are more frequent.
  • What’s Getting Tougher: Application-based questions in Genetics, Biotechnology, and Ecology.
  • What’s Easier: NCERT-based direct questions in Human Physiology and Plant Physiology.

  1. Physics & Maths (JEE) – Expect application-based numericals; focus on speed and accuracy.
  2. Chemistry (Both JEE & NEET) – Strong NCERT foundation is non-negotiable; pay extra attention to Organic Chemistry.
  3. Biology (NEET) – NCERT remains king, but understand concepts deeply instead of rote learning.
  4. Practice PYQs & Mock Tests – Trends repeat; solving past year papers is the best way to spot patterns.
