IITs that are conducting JEE advanced have decided to put the reduced syllabus across the paper setters. CBSE recently reduced its syllabus by dropping some topics from both Math and Science. JEE Main and NEET scheduled to be held in the month of September shall remain unaffected of this change.

Experts are perplexed as they can’t overlook this change since this change is brought in by CBSE.
