Description

We are happy to acknowledged the receipt of compliments and constructive suggestions from the learned teachers and students all over the country who gave us an opportunity to present twenty third revised edition of the book “A textbook of Organic Chemistry for JEE”. The book has been acclaimed by all and growing in status ever since its inception. The present book is now divided into two volumes. It is just for the sake of convenience and make the book handy. The present trend in competitive examinations is the stress on an objective rather than subjective treatment of the subiect matter. A critical scrutiny of the question papers of previous years of various entrance tests reveals that a variety of questions such as very short answer type, short answer type, fill in the blanks, true and false, match the column, multiple choice, numerical type are usually asked. With these objectives in mind, we have tried to present organic chemistry for competitions covering whole of the syllabus of nearly all the competitions and the complete subject matter has been arranged in a systematic manner. Every topic has been dealt precisely and to the point in a simple and understandable language. A good number of illustrations and solved problems based on structure and properties including numerical problems have been provided to understand the theoretical aspect. Several chapters have been supplemented with Supplementary Reading pertaining to more subject matter of higher standard on which questions are asked in competitions. At the end of each chapter, a good number of questions of various types have been given for self-assessment. It is our belief that students will be duly rewarded if they attempt these questions honestly and sincerely after learning the particular topic. Necessary hints have been given wherever it is felt essential.
