Quick answer
Gravitation appears regularly in JEE Main and Advanced. Focus on high-frequency subtopics from The universal law of gravitation, Acceleration due to gravity and its variation with altitude and depth, Kepler's law of planetary motion, Gravitational potential energy, gravitational potential, and more and pair revision with timed MCQs.
Prioritise high-return topics first. This weightage guide for Gravitation helps you allocate revision time before JEE Physics papers.
