Three Dimensional Geometry in JEE Main: weightage, trend and PYQs (2002–2026)

Three Dimensional Geometry has appeared in 377 JEE Main questions between 2002 and 2026. In the last five years it ranks #4 of 18 Mathematics chapters by how often it was asked, with 216 questions.

It is being asked more: about 43.2 questions a year in the last five years, up from 23.6 before that.

Year-wise weightage

Counts are questions per year across all sessions and shifts, so years with more shifts naturally have more.

Difficulty and question type

Of the 377 questions, 10% were easy, 75% medium and 15% hard. 82 were numerical-answer questions, so practise getting exact values, not just eliminating options.
