JET Syllabus: Rajasthan Agriculture Entrance

JET exam pattern and how the paper works

The question booklet contains all five subjects, but you mark answers only in the three that match your 12th stream.

The fifth option matters. If you do not know a question, shade E rather than leaving the row empty, since the booklet treats E as the way to skip. Merit is drawn from JET marks alone, not from your board percentage.

Which subjects you take

• ABC (agriculture, biology, chemistry): for students from the agriculture stream; leads to the B.Sc. programmes.
• PCB (physics, chemistry, biology): the most common choice; leads to agriculture, horticulture, forestry, fisheries and home science degrees, and is also accepted for food technology.
• PCA (physics, chemistry, agriculture): for agriculture stream students who also took physics; accepted for food technology too.
• PCM (physics, chemistry, maths): required for B.Tech. dairy technology and accepted for food technology and the B.Sc. courses listed in the booklet.

If you studied PCMB, the booklet allows that combination as well, but you still answer only three subjects. Decide which three before the exam and practise only those.

Subject wise JET syllabus and JET exam syllabus units

The units below follow the latest booklet's annexure, built on the class 11 and 12 courses.

Physics

• Basics of physics and mechanics
• Gravitation, bulk matter and thermodynamics
• Electrostatics and current electricity
• Magnetism, induction and modern physics

Chemistry

• Basic concepts and the structure of matter
• Kinetics and thermodynamics
• Agricultural chemistry, a unit you will not find in most engineering or medical tests
• Organic chemistry

Biology

Split into botany (plant classification and physiology, ecology, economic botany, biotechnology, and crop diseases with their control) and zoology (the animal kingdom with morphology, invertebrates and vertebrates).

Mathematics

Functions with sets, algebra, calculus, straight lines and conics in coordinate geometry, vector algebra with three dimensional geometry, mathematical reasoning, statistics and probability, and trigonometric functions.

Agriculture

Three units carrying 15, 15 and 10 questions, drawn from the senior secondary agriculture course. Take the exact topic list from the booklet annexure, as it is specific to this test.

Where to put your effort

Two features shape a good strategy. First, the chemistry paper includes an agricultural chemistry unit, so PCB and PCM students who only revise board chemistry miss free marks; soil, fertilisers and related chemistry are worth a dedicated week. Second, the botany half of biology leans towards crops, economic plants and plant diseases, which ties directly to the degree you are seeking.

With minus 1 for every wrong answer, four careless guesses cancel one correct answer. A sensible rule: commit to an option only after striking off two wrong ones with confidence, and shade E for the rest.

An eight week plan before JET

1. Weeks 1 to 3: class 11 units of your three subjects, using NCERT or your board's textbooks.
2. Weeks 4 to 6: class 12 units, plus the agricultural chemistry and crop disease topics.
3. Week 7: 40 question sets per subject, timed at about 40 minutes each.
4. Week 8: two full 120 question mocks, then a careful look at each error.

JET ka syllabus in Hindi

A brief summary in Hindi for those searching jet ka syllabus:

जेट परीक्षा राजस्थान के कृषि विश्वविद्यालयों में बीएससी कृषि और इससे जुड़े कोर्स में प्रवेश के लिए होती है। प्रश्नपत्र में भौतिकी, रसायन, जीव विज्ञान, गणित और कृषि पाँच विषय होते हैं, लेकिन आपको अपनी बारहवीं के तीन विषय ही हल करने होते हैं। हर विषय में 40 प्रश्न हैं, हर सही जवाब पर 4 अंक जुड़ते हैं, हर गलत जवाब पर 1 अंक घटता है। रसायन में कृषि रसायन की इकाई भी है, उसे जरूर पढ़ें।

Other tests for agriculture aspirants

For national level agriculture seats, see the ICAR syllabus, and for the central university route, the CUET syllabus. Students who later want state agriculture jobs can look at the agriculture supervisor syllabus. More admission tests are listed on the entrance exams hub.
