This section focuses on the distribution of questions across Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry, notable question formats, and section-wise trends. Detailed information is being collected from students and experts and will be updated shortly.
| Section-wise Difficulty Analysis | ||
| Chemistry Section | Difficulty Level | Key Observations |
| Physical Chemistry | TBA | TBA |
| Inorganic Chemistry | TBA | TBA |
| Organic Chemistry | TBA | TBA |
Physical Chemistry: The focus will be on numerical problems, formula application, and calculation-heavy questions.
Inorganic Chemistry: Analysis will emphasize topic coverage, conceptual clarity, and adherence to the NCERT/JEE syllabus.
Organic Chemistry: Observations will cover reaction-based questions, conceptual depth, and overall question patterns, once the section is fully reviewed.

The section includes:
Numerical vs Conceptual Questions
Formula-based vs Application-oriented Questions
Multi-concept Questions, if any
Insights being collected will focus on:
Overall length and time required to attempt the questions
Calculation demands and complexity
Tips and strategies for upcoming shifts
At this stage, observations are preliminary, and detailed analysis will be updated once verified student feedback and expert review are available.
Initial student reactions indicate:
Moderate difficulty with a mix of conceptual and numerical questions
Physical Chemistry requires speed and accuracy
Organic Chemistry emphasizes reaction understanding and conceptual clarity
Inorganic Chemistry is scoring if conceptual clarity is strong
The distribution of questions across key topics is as follows (based on feedback and trends):
| Chapter-wise Distribution | |
| Chapter / Topic | Approx. Number of Questions |
| Physical Chemistry (Mole Concept, Ionic Equilibrium, Chemical Kinetics) | TBA |
| Organic Chemistry (GOC, Isomerism) | TBA |
| Biochemistry (Biomolecules) | TBA |
| Inorganic Chemistry (Coordination Compounds, d-Block Elements) | TBA |
The number of good attempts depends on accuracy and speed. Candidates focusing on conceptual understanding, NCERT-based questions, and formula application can maximize their score in this section.
