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

Coordinate Geometry has appeared in 703 JEE Main questions between 2002 and 2026. In the last five years it ranks #1 of 18 Mathematics chapters by how often it was asked, with 353 questions.

It is being asked more: about 70.6 questions a year in the last five years, up from 49.8 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 703 questions, 17% were easy, 70% medium and 12% hard. 121 were numerical-answer questions, so practise getting exact values, not just eliminating options.
