Organic Chemistry For JEE/ISEET is an exam oriented reference book that helps strengthen concepts in Organic Chemistry, with a view to gaining a firm grasp over the subject, in preparation for the JEE/ISEET, and a future career in Engineering. Summary Of The Book While the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) has been an important prerequisite for entry into engineering courses conducted by the IITs, the Ministry of Human Resource Development has, in addition, proposed the Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test (ISEET) to be conducted as a common engineering entrance examination for securing admissions to centrally-funded institutions. These institutions include the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and some other approved institutes. Organic Chemistry For JEE/ISEET, formulated by Cengage Learning, is a guidebook with a two-pronged approach for helping aspiring engineering students master the subject of Organic Chemistry. The first, is to develop their skills and aptitude for the engineering profession, and the other, is to gain a thorough conceptual understanding of the subject, right from the beginner’s level. Organic Chemistry For JEE/ISEET presents theoretical concepts in an exam oriented way, focusing on the liberal use of illustrations, and reactions to make the subject coherent, and easy to understand. The book has a student friendly approach to learning Organic Chemistry, with emphasis on plenty of solved examples, and solved problems to facilitate mastery over concepts and their applications. Divided into 17 chapters, it studies many topics including Classification and Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Organic Reaction Mechanism, Reduction and Oxidation Reactions of Organic Compounds, Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives, and Biomolecules. It also poses many questions to readers, framed and designed to hone and improve their problem-solving abilities. These questions are set in the form of a variety of exercises, including Assertion-Reasoning Type, Subjective Type, Fill in the Blanks Type, Multiple Correct Answers Type, Single Correct Answer Type, True/False Type, and Concept Application Type. The book also exposes them to previous year exam questions, through its archive series of exercises, further boosting the confidence of competitive exam entrants. It is a mix of these key features, its multi faceted approach, and dynamic coverage of the subject, that make Organic Chemistry For JEE/ISEET, a book for all engineering aspirants preparing for JEE/ISEET.
