Dear j.vamsee,
When preparing for competitive exams, there is nothing called less important or more important. You've got to focus on the basics. How to name a compound, the various effects based on electronic displacementsin molecules( that will help you in mechanisms), then, various class of compounds and their important reactions. Organic Chemistry is a very systematic branch if you begin step-wise. Go after the concepts and not ready made solutions.
'Organic Chemistry' has the highest weightage with mean marks of 36%. Topics like 'Isomerism' and 'Name Reactions', and 'Stability of reaction intermediates' should be thoroughly covered. It is easier to remember the reactions and conversions involving aromatic compounds and a considerable percentage of questions from organic chemistry are based on this part. An understanding of directive influence of substituent groups, resonance and mechanism of reactions definitely helps in cracking the problems of organic chemistry.
All the Best!!!
