IIT JEE Chemistry Study Guide - Introduction

The study guides for each chapter are study plans for the chapter. They are based on the text book on Chemistry Dr. S.P. Jauhar for CBSE course XI and XII.

The publishers are

Ph. 23317931

The study plan is complete the study of the entire book of a class XI or XII during the period 1 May 20xx to 31 December 20xx.

The plan gives the core study and problem solving structure. The student will have examinations etc. during his course at the school as well as coaching institutes. These examinations provide opportunity to him to read the material for the purpose of remembering and recollecting. Examinations provide him the practice. January to April of the year can be devoted to revision for the final examinations as well as for answering various test papers.
