Hey,
The syllabus for both Engineering Entrance examinations and Medical Entrance Examinations is more or less the same. It is based on the syllabus of class 11th and 12th Physics and Chemistry.
However,the questions for JEE Mains are much more difficult and you need to put in slightly more efforts than NEET.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Hey Aspirant!

Hope you are doing well.

First of all, subject contents cannot be different for two exams. The thing that may differ is the level up to which basic concepts are modified in the form of question. 

Both JEE and NEET consider NCERT syllabus as the base. The conceptts are taken from NCERT books for both the exams. Students preparing for these examinations are therefore recommended to go through each and every concept given in the book very carefully.

Now let's see where thing differs. If we see the level of question for physics and chemistry in both the exams, we will find that JEE questions are a bit harder that NEET questions. There is obviously a valid reason for that. NEET exam has 180 questions (60 each section) which need to be solved in 3hours (180 minutes) which on an average gives 1 min for each question.

Whereas in JEE, 90 questions need to be solved in 180 minutes which on an average gives 2 min for each question.

Considering the time for each question, the level of question is decided accordingly. While NEET can directly ask questions about facts and figures, JEE may focus on a small application of the same.

So in an all, subject contents are same, only level of questions differs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hello Balasubramanian,

The basic course structure and syllabus is broadly the same for the exams you mentioned in the query. But there is definitely a difference in the question pattern. Even though the questions are mainly taken from NCERTs still they expect both type of candidates to have different analytical and reasoning skills this the question are varied. But in a nutshell both have almost similar syllabus and the study material is similar too.

I hope this helps.

Hey Aspirant !
Although the syllabus of both JEE and NEET are similar because the NTA suggests just the NCERT book, but the point of separations stands at the level of question which the Examinees face.
JEE - MAINS questions although sharing the similar syllabus are generally a bit tougher compared to that of NEET. This is because that the questions can be easily twisted and turned in JEE which doesn't generally happen in NEET, for example :

1. In case of name reactions, although the NCERT simply mentions a few of them which are must for NEET, but for JEE, it's advised to have a go at most of the famous name reactions including Perkin's, Reformatsky, Schmidt etc.

2. In case of Physics, NEET questions are generally formula based or factual, even if a concept is needed, the solution's generally easy, but in JEE, you need to correlate your concepts of Hydrostatics with that of Mechanics in order to reach a plausible cause of Electricity.

Hope you get it.
All the Best !
