Chemistry is one subject that can be a rank decider for many students because it is mostly easy and focuses more on the basics. In general, NCERT textbooks are recommended by many when it comes to Chemistry preparation. Every year a lot of questions are picked from the concepts explained in these textbooks.

JEE Advanced Chemistry syllabus consists of topics that are all about memorizing rather than conceptual understanding. However, this is not always true. Sometimes there might be questions that are tricky and thought-provoking. A smart preparation strategy should always be followed. Try avoiding memorisation as much as possible and develop a clearer understanding of concepts. Gaining proper insights into the reaction mechanism behind every reaction will always give better results. Chemistry is a scoring subject for students with strong fundamentals because a majority of the questions in JEE Advanced are of moderate difficulty level.

The syllabus of JEE Advanced for Chemistry contains a list of all the chapters covered in standard 11th and 12th chemistry syllabus. Chemistry syllabus is further divided into three sections, namely, Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. All three sections are equally important and interconnected.

IIT JEE Chemistry is all about planning and understanding of concepts. Students are advised to concentrate more on understanding the concepts rather than working only on objective problems. The questions asked in the examination are usually a combination of multiple concepts to test the conceptual clarity in students. Select the best books for IIT JEE chemistry preparation and avoid studying the same topics from multiple books as it leads to the confusion of concepts.
