Checked 29 September 2026. Syllabus from Appendix-5 of the JELET-2026 Information Bulletin. JELET 2027 dates and bulletin had not been announced on 29 September 2026; re-check the syllabus when the 2027 bulletin appears.
The JELET syllabus is short to state and long to cover. Paper I has four subjects — Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Fundamentals of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (FEEE) — split into 42 units in Appendix-5 of the bulletin. Paper II (pharmacy) has no unit list at all: the bulletin says only "Diploma level syllabus in Pharmacy as prescribed by the Pharmacy Council of India". This guide lays out the official units, shows how many marks each subject carries, and turns that into a study order you can track.

Where the marks are
| Subject | Units | Questions | Marks | Share of 120 | Marks per unit (our arithmetic) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 11 | 40 | 50 | 41.7% | 4.5 |
| Physics | 15 | 30 | 35 | 29.2% | 2.3 |
| Chemistry | 8 | 20 | 25 | 20.8% | 3.1 |
| FEEE | 8 | 10 | 10 | 8.3% | 1.25 |
| Total | 42 | 100 | 120 | 100% | 2.9 |
Units and marks are official; shares and marks-per-unit are our arithmetic. The Board does not publish chapter-wise weightage, so "marks per unit" assumes marks spread evenly across a subject's units — a planning aid, not a prediction.
Out of 120. Mathematics also carries 10 of the 20 two-mark Category-2 questions.
Two numbers should shape the plan. Mathematics is 50 of 120 marks and the second tie-break after total negatives, so it is the subject that most often decides a rank. And a Mathematics unit is worth nearly four times a FEEE unit on average. For a diploma holder from a non-electrical branch, FEEE can look intimidating, but at 10 marks it rewards a focused pass through the basics rather than weeks of study.
The official syllabus, unit by unit
The units below follow Appendix-5 exactly, lightly shortened. The bulletin's spellings "Cauchy-Hamilton", "Roll's" and "Base's" theorem refer to the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, Rolle's theorem and Bayes' theorem, and are written that way here.

A study order that follows the marks
There is no official JELET 2027 date yet, and past cycles have not held a fixed month: the exam ran in late June in 2024, in October in 2025 and in mid-June in 2026. Plan by phases rather than by calendar, and move the phases once the 2027 bulletin gives a date.
| Cycle | Applications | Exam | Result | Counselling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JELET 2024 | 8 Feb – 18 Mar 2024 | 29 Jun 2024 | 2 Aug 2024 (official notice) | 3 – 20 Oct 2024, 2 rounds |
| JELET 2025 | 9 – 17 Sep 2025 | 18 Oct 2025 | no official result notice found | 10 – 26 Dec 2025, 2 rounds |
| JELET 2026 | 19 Mar – 11 Apr 2026 (extended) | 13 Jun 2026 | 14 or 15 Jul 2026 (reported, sources differ) | 2 – 25 Sep 2026, 3 rounds |
| JELET 2027 | not announced | not announced | — | — |
Official bulletins, schedules and notices for 2024, 2025 and 2026; result dates as marked.
| Phase | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Mathematics core | Matrices, determinants, differential and integral calculus, ODE | The heaviest units in the heaviest subject; everything in Physics leans on calculus |
| 2. Rest of Mathematics | Complex numbers, vectors, 2D geometry, partial differentiation, probability | Completes the 50-mark subject |
| 3. Physics mechanics | Units, kinematics, laws of motion, work–energy, gravitation, elasticity, fluids | Seven of the 15 Physics units; mostly formula-driven |
| 4. Physics heat and optics | Thermal expansion, heat transfer, thermodynamics, reflection, refraction, lenses, photoelectricity | The remaining eight units |
| 5. Chemistry | All eight units, numericals (mole concept, pH, Faraday) first | 25 marks; five multi-answer Category-2 questions in 2026 |
| 6. FEEE | DC and AC circuits, then machines, devices, op-amps, gates | 10 marks, Category-1 only |
| 7. Timed papers | Full 2-hour mocks on an OMR-style sheet | Practise the Category-2 rule under time |
Our suggested order, not an official plan. Mixed revision should run alongside from phase 3 onwards, so that Mathematics does not fade while you study Chemistry.
Three things to do differently for JELET
First, practise Category-2 as its own skill. In the 2026 key every Physics and Chemistry Category-2 question had more than one correct option. When you revise a unit, check each statement on its own merit instead of hunting for the single right answer.
Second, respect the syllabus boundary. JELET Mathematics stops at order-3 matrices and first-order Euler's theorem; Physics has no electricity or modern physics beyond photoelectricity, because electrical topics sit in FEEE. Time spent on material outside Appendix-5 is time taken from the units that are asked.
Third, get used to the sheet. JELET is an OMR paper marked in blue or black ballpoint, with no way to change a response once marked. A candidate who has only practised on a screen loses time and makes stray marks on the day.
| Resource | Where | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Official syllabus | Appendix-5, JELET-2026 Information Bulletin | available |
| Official answer keys, 2026 | JEEB/Reg-96/26 on the WBJEEB site | available |
| Official previous question papers | the Board's old-papers page | returned "not found" when checked |
| Chapter-wise weightage | — | not published by the Board |
Practise it, don't just read it
Work through the units in order and test each one as you finish it.
The ProSyllabus JELET library has five 10-question quizzes: Engineering Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (the four Paper I subjects), plus Engineering Mechanics and Computer Fundamentals, which is outside the official syllabus. There is no Pharmacy (Paper II) quiz yet.
