Dear Avni

CSIR-UGC (NET) Exam for Chemical Sciences will be held on June 17, 2018, tentatively. To prepare for the exam, first thing you should know about the exam pattern of the exam. Given below is a quick gist of the same, along with the links to model question papers for Chemical Sciences and the syllabus. Note that, you will be awarded 2 marks for correct answer in Part A & B and 4 marks in Part C. T here will be negative marking of 1/4 for every wrong answer.

The CISR UGC NET Exam for Chemical Sciences will be divided into three parts, as described below:

Part A: It will be a common paper for all the subjects consisting of questions from General Aptitude, General Science, Quantitative Aptitude and Research Aptitude. There will be a total of 20 questions, out of which you will have to attempt 15 questions.

P art B: This paper will be subject specific, Chemical Sciences, in your case. There will be a total of 4 0 questions, out of which you will have to attempt 3 5 questions.

Part C: This paper will also be subject specific, but will test the application of the concepts. There will be a total of 60 questions, out of which you will have to attempt any 25 questions.

The model question papers for each part of the paper and syllabus can be accessed by clicking the links given below.

Syllabus of CSIR UGC NET Chemical Sciences

Model Test Paper (Part A)

Model Test Paper (Part B & C- Chemical Sciences)

Find below some important topics

Organic Chemistry: Reagents, Intermediate & Reaction Mechanism, Pericyclic/Photochemistry

Physical Chemistry: Quantum Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry and Molecular Spectroscopy

Inorganic Chemistry: Main Group Elements, Transition Elements and Organometallic Compounds

Finally, given that only few weeks are left now, I suggest you to attempt a lot of mock tests.

Hope it helps.
