Organic Chemistry at IIT JEE level deals with General Organic Chemistry i.e. basics organic chemistry. It starts with the concept of Hybridization, IUPAC Nomenclature, Isomerism, Resonance, Hyperconjugation, etc.

Stereoisomerism is a critical part which becomes a bottleneck for most of the students. These concepts are used in almost every reaction mechanisms which are a part of topics like Hydrocarbons, Halides, Alcohols & Phenols, Aldehydes & Ketones, Carboxylic acids and derivatives and hence these are basics of organic chemistry.

Named Reactions are like drivers direction for students and maximum come from the chapter of Aldehydes & Ketones, which is no less than a climax of a movie.

Topic wise weightage for Organic Chemistry in IIT JEE:

Topic Weightage
General Organic Chemistry 9%
Alcohol Phenol and Ether 7%
Aldehyde Ketone 5%
Carboxylic Acids 2%
Nitrogen Containing compounds 2%
Biomolecules 2%
Hydrocarbons 2%
