JEE & NEET chemistry
Chapter-wise JEE Main, JEE Advanced and NEET PYQs are given inside the JEE and NEET batches with solutions; the blog carries topic-wise analyses.
PYQ analyses on the blogSolved PYQ sets
A worked set from CSIR NET June 2011 (coordination chemistry, term symbols, redox mechanisms, d–d transitions) is used as the demo in the inorganic classes; the full solved sets are part of the batch material.
