WBJEE Syllabus 2027: Subject-wise Topics for Maths, Physics and Chemistry

The WBJEE syllabus covers Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at the Class 11 and Class 12 level. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) lists it chapter by chapter in the appendix of its Information Bulletin, so you do not have to guess what can be asked.

This page turns that appendix into a working checklist. It follows the official WBJEE 2026 bulletin, which is the latest published one. The 2027 bulletin is not out yet, and the board may add or trim topics when it is. Treat the lists below as your base and compare them with the new bulletin once it appears.

WBJEE syllabus at a glance

The pattern figures are from the 2026 bulletin. For marking rules and category-wise questions.

Key points to know before you start

• Mathematics is half the paper. It carries 100 of 200 marks, so a weak Mathematics preparation is hard to make up with Physics and Chemistry.

• The syllabus is official but long. Mathematics lists 22 chapters, Physics 24, and Chemistry also runs to more than 20 chapters in the appendix. Coverage matters more than depth in a single chapter.

• Some topics are unusual for entrance exams. Examples include permutations and combinations with mathematical induction, Raman effect in Physics, and Li-ion batteries in Chemistry. Students who prepare only from a standard entrance guide may miss them.

• The board does not publish chapter-wise weightage. Any weightage table you see elsewhere is an estimate from past papers, so use it only as a guide.

• Older pages may still show an earlier syllabus, so follow the official bulletin at https://wbjeeb.nic.in/wbjee/.

WBJEE Mathematics syllabus

Mathematics is spread across six broad areas. Within each, the bulletin lists specific chapters.

Algebra

• Sequences and logarithms: arithmetic, geometric and harmonic progressions, and logarithms with their properties.

• Number systems: complex numbers, including geometric meaning, and polynomial equations.

• Counting: permutations and combinations, mathematical induction and the binomial theorem.

• Matrices and determinants: operations, properties and solving linear equations.

• Sets, relations and mappings: types of relations and functions.

Trigonometry

Trigonometric ratios and identities, equations, heights and distances, and inverse trigonometric functions with their principal values.

Coordinate geometry

Calculus

Limits, continuity and differentiability; applications of derivatives, including maxima and minima; integral calculus and its use in finding areas; and differential equations.

Vectors

Vector algebra, dot and cross products, and the scalar triple product with its geometric uses.

Statistics and probability

Measures of central tendency and dispersion, probability rules, conditional probability, Bayes' theorem, and the binomial distribution.

WBJEE Physics syllabus

Physics has 24 chapters in the 2026 bulletin. They fall naturally into four groups, which also makes revision easier.

Chapters that students often skip

• Semiconductor devices: the bulletin includes diodes, LED, photodiode, solar cell, Zener diode, transistor action and logic gates. These are short chapters with predictable question types.

• Wave optics and particle nature of light: Young's experiment, single-slit diffraction, Brewster's law and de Broglie relation are all listed.

• Electromagnetic waves and AC circuits: these are easy to leave for last, but they are listed explicitly.

WBJEE Chemistry syllabus

The Chemistry list is long, and organic chemistry in particular goes into functional groups in detail. We group it into physical, inorganic and organic chemistry for planning.

Physical chemistry

Inorganic chemistry

• Periodicity: modern periodic law and trends in atomic and ionic radii, ionisation enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity, plus naming of elements above atomic number 100.

• Chemical bonding: ionic and covalent bonding, Lewis structures, VSEPR, hybridisation, resonance, hydrogen bonding and molecular orbital theory for homonuclear diatomic molecules.

• States of matter: classification of solids, unit cells and packing efficiency, point defects, kinetic theory, gas laws and the van der Waals equation.

The bulletin also expects knowledge of the p-block elements and their compounds, so check the appendix in the full PDF for the element-wise list.

Organic chemistry

Class 11 and Class 12 overlap

Some chapters appear in both years in different forms. Study them once, properly, and revise them in both contexts.

How to prioritise topics

With no official weightage, use past papers as your guide. Solve the last five to eight years of papers from the board's website, then tally which chapters appear most. Keep three lists:

1. Must master: chapters that appear every year, such as calculus, coordinate geometry, mechanics, electrostatics, equilibrium and organic reactions.

2. Should finish: chapters that appear in most years but with fewer questions.

3. Quick wins: small, scoring chapters like semiconductor devices, nuclear physics and statistics.

Remember that Category 3 questions can have more than one correct answer, so a half-learned chapter is risky. Revise each chapter until you can judge every statement on it as true or false.

A phased plan to finish the syllabus

1. Weeks 1 to 10, concepts: Cover Class 11 chapters first. Give 50 percent of study time to Mathematics. Make short notes and a formula sheet for each chapter.

2. Weeks 11 to 20, Class 12 chapters: Continue with the Class 12 syllabus and begin chapter tests after each chapter.

3. Weeks 21 to 28, revision: Revisit weak chapters from your error log, and practise previous papers in sections.

4. Final weeks, full papers: Attempt complete two-paper sets on the exam schedule, review the same day, and revise only error-log topics.

Adjust the weeks to the months you actually have. A student starting in October for a May exam has roughly 30 weeks.
