1.Over the years, in chemistry, questions have been repeatedly asked on electrochemistry, thermodynamics, ionic equilibrium, states of matter, chemical bonding and organic chemistry. If we cover these topics thoroughly you would be able to secure 50% marks easily.

2.In organic chemistry, reaction mechanism, particularly those involving reactions of alkenes, alkynes, alcohols and carbon compounds are the most important areas in which students are tested. Another important topic is strength of organic acids and bases. Biomolecules is also becoming increasingly popular with JEE question setters.

3. While all topics are important, based on analysis of past years’ papers, following sub-topics have a higher probability of figuring in the paper:
