IIT-JEE-Mains-Chemistry

Any engineering course or entrance exam comprises three subjects, primarily – Physics, Chemistry and Maths.

Chemistry being the core of all applied sciences has a in-depth role to play in any technological or global solution. Therefore, if weak or not interested in Chemistry, its indeed tough for a student to continue with their engineering ambition.

In Engineering, all streams of chemistry forms an integral part:

Physical Chemistry

Inorganic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Analytical Chemistry

Surface Chemistry

Biochemistry

Geochemistry

Fuel Chemistry

Polymer Chemistry

Cement Chemistry

Materials Chemistry

Asphalt Chemistry

Also, a popular myth is studying chemistry in engineering might make you a chemical engineer. This is a complete myth, as all branches of engineering gives equal focus on chemistry as a subject.

When engineering entrance exams are concerned basic knowledge, example and explanation in par with class XII question is enough ace.

In case of IIT JEE Main exam also, a clear knowledge of chemistry is important. You can begin from the basic class XII level books and then move to the following syllabus:

UNIT 1: Some Basic concepts in Chemistry
