Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), one of the toughest exams in India is held by the seven zonal coordinating IITs under the guidance of the Joint Admission Board(JAB). This exam is conducted for students willing to get admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). Any student willing to join IIT will first have to appear for the JEE Mains exam followed by the JEE Advanced. After cracking both of these examinations, students have to then sit through interviews, in order to be a student of IIT.

Students have to go through rigorous preparation and training sessions to clear JEE Mains & JEE Advanced exams. Hectic and exhaustive study schedules, tight preparation, mock tests, coaching, and a lot more goes into cracking IIT. Generally, students start their preparation two years prior to their appearing academic year and most of them start in their higher secondary. But, the first and the most crucial step in the preparation for clearing any exam happens to be, checking the syllabus of the examination.

As you can see, the JEE Advanced 2024 Chemistry syllabus is quite vast and detailed. It’s a long syllabus with loads of topics to cover. Thus, students must start their preparation as soon as possible. Though chemistry is a scoring subject, it can weaken your score if not practiced consistently. Chemistry is famous for its exceptions and these exceptions make a lot of questions in the question paper. Thus, each of the exceptions must be carefully read and practiced. It can be confusing and troublesome, but if you clear your concepts and practice regularly, Chemistry can be a win-win in the JEE Advanced Examination 2024.

FAQs

  • What is the toughest chapter in Chemistry for JEE?
    +
    Chemistry has a vast syllabus with tons of important concepts that cannot be missed out by students. However, as per the updated JEE Syllabus and Marking Scheme, Electrochemistry, organic chemistry, gaseous elements, p-block elements, chemical kinetics are quite important. However, students are advised to cover ever chapter in detail for better score.
  • Which branch of Chemistry is the hardest?
    +
    Physical Chemistry is said to be the hardest branch of chemistry since it involves study of various laws, theories, and concepts. However, we believe that toughness varies from person to person. If a student is good with organic chemistry, inorganic would be tougher for him/her and vice versa. Thus, excellent practise in all branches of chemistry is important for a better score.
  • Which chapter is easy in chemistry?
    +
    Some of the chapters in Chemistry that can be easily grasped and might not need much attention are: Biomolecules, Chemistry in Everyday Life, Polymers, Solutions, Solid State, and Chemical Kinetics
