• JEE Mains 2013 Physics wasn’t too different from AIEEE, as it was previously called, however on closer analysis there are some smart observations students can make to ensure their preparation is more effective and gain maximum marks in JEE 2014.

• This presentation, will highlight the most important pointers from JEE 2013 Physics that students must take a note of while preparing for JEE 2014 Physics.

Overall Analysis

Physics part covered 120 marks out of 360. There were 30 questions, each carried 4 marks and a

negative of 1 mark.

Some key features of JEE 2013 Physics Section:

• Questions wise breakup is:

• Beating Competition was tougher: Almost half the questions were easy level - The level of paper was not as high as many people expected, that means to beat the competition you had to get moderate and tough questions correct.

• Silly Mistakes: This was the major reason for losing easy marks

• Lengthy Calculations: Students had to go through tedious calculations to arrive at the answer.

• High No. of Graphical Questions: Many more questions with graphs were asked as compared to previous years.

• High Conceptual Coverage: Almost every concept from 11th and 12th was covered.

• Six Shocker Questions for IIT aspirants: 6 questions in this paper did not belong JEE advanced preparation.

• CBSE Focussed Preparation: Focussing on Boards preparation was useful.

Major Topic Analysis

So let’s see what last years paper has to say based on a Major Topic-wise analysis:

1. High Weight-age of Electrodynamics: Similar to expectations Electrodynamics covers the majority of paper constituting 30% of the paper.

2. Surprise!: Many expected Mechanics to be in second in weight-age, but in JEE 2013 it was modern physics! Considering the course length of both mechanics and modern physics, you must give Modern Physics it’s due importance while final 3 months of preparation.

3. Optics has equal weight-age to mechanics: So prepare for Mechanics keeping in mind JEE Advanced and give importance to other topics also for JEE Mains.

4. Importance of 12th portion: 60% of the paper was 12th portion

5. 11th standard: Oscillation secured second most weight-age and not heat and thermodynamics.

JEE 2013 had a fixed trend: No topic covered more than 8 marks. Either it covered 4 marks or 8 marks. Below are some hidden points:

• No questions from work, energy and power so there is a change it will appear this year.

• Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is twice the weight-age of string waves and sound waves both combined.

• Communication and Semiconductors (not in JEE advanced syllabus) is 75% of Mechanics!

• Wave Optics though small is equally important as Geometrical Optics.

• Alternating Current did not come last year so this year may have larger weightage. Can expect 2 questions.

• Leaving Capacitance because it is a small topic will be fatal.

• Elasticity and Surface Tension is equal to Bernoulli’s Theorem and Equation of Continuity.
