We keep hearing from students that they absolutely ‘hate’ Chemistry. Split between Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry, students often find it tedious to manage all three topics together. To crack the JEE Main exam and save a seat for yourself in one of the top engineering colleges of India, your chemistry must be excellent.
Preparation for JEE Level Chemistry
The best way to ensure that your JEE chemistry preparation is pretty simple. Read NCERT thoroughly. This book should always be your core focus. Other reference books will be handy for you only when you are well versed with NCERT.
To ace the Chemistry part of the JEE exam, it is also equally important to give many online mock tests and solve previous year’s JEE question papers. This will help you to understand different topics in depth. When compared to Maths and Physics, Chemistry preparation is very different. It needs constant memorization, visualization, and clarity of concepts. If your concepts are clear, then you can score well in the exam.
