JEE Advanced Chemistry Syllabus – Download Latest Syllabus Topic wise
JEE Advanced Chemistry syllabus consists of topics that are all about conceptual understanding rather than just memorising. 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. Chemistry is a scoring subject for students with strong fundamentals because a majority of the questions in JEE Advanced are of moderate difficulty level.
Chemistry syllabus is further divided into three sections, namely, Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. All three sections are equally important and interconnected. Additionally, the students can also go through the complete topic-wise detailed syllabus of IIT JEE Physics and Maths from the links mentioned below.
