One preparation, several exams

Most of these exams are built from the same handful of subjects. Prepare properly for one and you have, without meaning to, prepared for others.

Every figure on this page is an estimate. JEE Main's preparation hours have not been derived from its syllabus yet, so everything computed from them inherits that.

Too few exams have hours derived from a syllabus for a ranking of them to mean anything yet, so estimated exams are ranked alongside them for now. Every figure marked approximately was judged rather than counted.

What each exam is made of

Darker means the exam demands more of that subject. Hatched cells were estimated rather than counted from a syllabus.
