Many students aspiring to join B.E/B.Tech programs after completing Class XII choose to prepare for various engineering entrance exams. Among these, the JEE Main 2024 exam holds significant appeal for those seeking admission to diverse B.Tech specialisations. Given the intense competition, many aspirants also consider alternative options as a backup plan. These alternatives encompass various engineering entrance exams like VITEEE 2024 and others. A common dilemma faced by students is whether to prepare separately for each exam or focus on those with a syllabus similar to JEE Main.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a few minor changes in the JEE Main syllabus 2024 in its latest notification. Some chapters in all three subjects – Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics – have been removed. This decision to delete certain chapters aligns with the changes made to the Class 11 and 12 syllabus by NCERT.
This article offers a brief analysis of the syllabus for two well-known engineering exams, JEE Main 2024 and VITEEE 2024. Before delving into the comparison, it’s crucial for students to understand that the JEE Main syllabus for B.E/B.Tech admission covers only Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, whereas the VITEEE syllabus includes an additional section on Aptitude and English.
JEE Main 2024 Vs VITEEE 2024
JEE Main and VITEEE syllabus comparison for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics is as follows:
JEE Main Vs VITEEE Syllabus for Physics
| JEE Main Physics Syllabus | VITEEE Physics Syllabus |
| Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Electromagnetic Waves, Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents, Atoms and Nuclei, Optics, Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation, Electronic Devices, Thermodynamics, Gravitation, Properties of Solids and Liquids, Oscillations and Waves, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Laws of Motion, Physics and Measurement, Kinematics, Rotational Motion, Work, Energy, and Power | Laws of Motion & Work, Energy and Power, Properties of Matter, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current, Optics, Dual Nature of Radiation and Atomic Physics, Nuclear Physics, Semiconductor Devices and their Applications |
JEE Main Vs VITEEE Syllabus for Chemistry
| JEE Main Chemistry Syllabus | VITEEE Chemistry Syllabus |
| Some Basic Concepts In Chemistry, Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure, Chemical Thermodynamics, Solutions, Equilibrium, Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties, P- Block Elements, D – And F- Block Elements, Co-Ordination Compounds, Purification And Characterisation Of Organic Compounds, Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry, Hydrocarbons, Organic Compounds Containing Halogens, Oxygen & Nitrogen, Biomolecules, Principles Related To Practical Chemistry | Atomic Structure. p,d and f – Block Elements, Coordination Chemistry and Solid State Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Chemical Equilibrium and Chemical Kinetics, Electrochemistry, Isomerism in Organic Compounds, Alcohols and Ethers, Carbonyl Compounds, Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives, Organic Nitrogen Compounds and Biomolecules |
JEE Main Vs VITEEE Syllabus for Maths
| JEE Main Maths Syllabus | VITEEE Maths Syllabus |
| Complex Numbers and Quadratic, Equations, Matrices and Determinants, Sets, Relations, and Functions, Permutations and Combinations, Differential Equations, Coordinate Geometry, Integral Calculus, Three Dimensional Geometry, Statistics and Probability, Trigonometry, Vector Algebra, Binomial Theorem and Its Simple Applications, Sequences and Series, Limit Continuity, and Differentiability | Matrices and their Applications, Trigonometry and Complex Numbers, Analytical Geometry of two dimensions, Vector Algebra, Analytical Geometry of Three Dimensions, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus and its Applications, Differential Equations, Probability Distributions, Discrete Mathematics |
Conclusion
It is clear from the following syllabus comparison tables that the VITEEE syllabus covers nearly all of the topics included in the JEE exam, while being less than the JEE Main syllabus. Therefore, if students are already studying for JEE Main, there is no need for them to prepare for VITEEE separately. They must, however, prepare separately for the English and Aptitude sections of the VITEEE exam as they are uncommon.
