Important Name Reactions Asked in CBSE & IIT JEE Exams: Analysis of Previous Exams
Name reactions given in 11th and 12th NCERT textbooks are frequently asked in CBSE 12th board exams and other competitive exams (like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, NEET, WBJEE, UPSEE etc.). As, syllabus of Class 11th and Class 12th Chemistry is huge so selective study in Chemistry subject plays a very important. Name reactions (chemical reaction generally named after its discoverers or developers) of Organic Chemistry are important for both competitive and board exams, so, in this article, we have analysed previous 5-year papers of JEE Main and CBSE Class 12 board exams. You can learn about the complete analysis from the video given above. Important and main highlights of the video are given below:
