Out of both more important is coordinate geometry which includes an ellipse, hyperbola, parabola, circles, straight lines, etc. JEE asks a lot of questions on coordinate geometry out of which many are formula based.
Coordinate geometry and calculus together make up 50% of the paper.

Conic sections – Knowing the formulas well will help you. The parametric form is one of the most useful tools in solving problems of conics.

Vector Algebra – Knowing how to visualize the situation will be useful. The concepts of vector and scalar triple products are most scoring.

All the very best and good luck.

Conics should be studied properly as it is very important.

Questions are tricky from this topic.



Whereas



Questions asked from vectors are relatively easy to understand.
