Hi everybody. I am starting my guidance for NET in Chemical Sciences through this platform. I wish to inform you all that I have cleared NET and SET in chemical sciences for 10 times. I have been guiding students from last 13 years. More than 1000 students have cleared NET/SET/SLET in various subjects under my guidance. This upload will help you in preparation of NET in chemistry. I have already posted this on adichemistry before two months. This file is uploaded for new users. The content in this file is my ideas regarding preparation of NET in chemistry. It is not necessary that you should agree with my ideas. You can use my tips if you like them. Thanks to ADITYAVARDHAN for providing the platform to share my views with all of you. I apologize for grammatical and presentation errors if any. WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR CLEARING NET IN CHEMISTRY Now, I will discuss how to begin your studies for NET. Bill gates once said "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. It means that we should have a proper plan to achieve any thing. Thus let us plan the things properly. Let us see whether we can plan our studies. I would like to quote two examples before I start guidance. Example 1: I think you might have seen in sports that players warm up before they start playing matches. Example 2: Have you noticed how the buildings are build? Initially foundation is prepared and then building is built on it. Conclusion: What these two examples teach us is that our basic knowledge (foundation) must be very good if we want to clear NET. How to improve basic knowledge: There are three steps you should follow: Step I on Day 1: Read XI standard chemistry book. Read the book very fast so that you finish reading it in 4 hours. After that read Std. XII chemistry books in next 6 hours. Step II on Day 2: Read B. Sc. Part I and II organic, inorganic and physical chemistry books. Read them very fast. Dont try to remember what you have read. Just go reading so that you finish them in a day. Step III on Day 3: Read B. Sc. III organic and inorganic books. Try to finish them reading in two to three days. If you follow this five days plan, I am sure that this knowledge will help you to solve at least 10 difficult questions in NET. When I use to tell this to students, many students use to take objection. They use to say me that why should we spend our precious time in studying XI, XII and B. Sc. books. Instead of that, we will read specialized books. Unfortunately many of such students have not cleared NET. Let us see how we should proceed further. The most important thing is to decide your target. I sincerely feel that 130 marks are sufficient to get LS and 140 marks for JRF. I suggest the following strategy to get: Section A: 20 MCQs on General Science: Our target should be of 6 MCQs Section B: 50 MCQs on Chemistry: Our target should be of 25 MCQs Section C: 75 MCQs on chemistry: Our target should be of at least of 17 MCQs. Thus, if u decide above target u score 12 + 50 + 68 = 130 Marks. PREPARATION OF PART A Let us see what we should do to get 6 MCQs correctly in NET section A. Preparation of NET section A: The most difficult part of NET preparation is this section A. As there are no clear directions from CSIR regarding the syllabus, it is challenging task to study for this part. I hate this Section. It seems that the questions are asked from mathematics. I suggest reading NDA/NA entrance exam book (Upkar publication book preferably) for this section. If u daily read this book for half an hour for a month, I am sure all of u will be able to achieve the target of 6 MCQs. Please read only maths, Part. Study the book very lightly. PREPARATION OF PART B AND C I wish to guide you regarding Chemistry preparation i.e. how to study for Section B and Section C. I have delivered more than 500 lectures on NET/SET in various Universities and Colleges. The first statement that I tell students during my lecture is "Passing NET/SET is an ART and Not SCIENCE". It means that reading hundreds of books will never help you to pass NET/SET. What you need to know is the ART of studying these hundred books. In other words, hard will never help you to pass NET/SET. Instead smart work is necessary. Let us see what I mean by smart work. PROBLEM WITH MOST OF US: The basic problem with most of us think that it is necessary to study complete syllabus. But none of us succeed doing that as the syllabus is very vast. The real fact is that it not essential to study the entire syllabus. You can pass NET/SET by studying even 60 % topics from the syllabus. The most important thing is that you should properly select your syllabus. Most of us select wrong topics for study and many a times whatever we study is not sufficient to clear NET. For example, I am organic chemist and therefore I study only organic chemistry topics and same is the thing with the students of other specialization also. Doing this, no body of us will be able to pass NET. I suggest all of you to select syllabus from two specializations for study. It is very difficult to study all the topics from syllabus as this will take lot of time and even it is not essential too I have seen students studying syllabus of one specialization getting failed in NET. Many a times students studying syllabus of two specializations getting failure n NET. The reason for the latter is our wrong selection of syllabus. For example, a friend of mine (who has completed M. Sc. in organic chemistry) came to me and told me that he want to study statistical thermodynamics. I told him that it is very difficult topic and told him to drop it from study. He denied that. He has spent 20 days for studying statistical thermodynamics. He became expert in such a hard topic. Unfortunately, when he went for NET there was only a two marks question on it. I knew that there very less weightage for this topic and therefore told him to drop it. Unfortunately my friend failed in that NET as he was a victim of wrong selection of topics. Thus, it is highly essential to the weighatge of the topics that we have selected for study. STEP I OF STUDY: Quantitative Analysis of old Papers Lets us see first step of study: Ist step: Quantitative analysis First thing that is very necessary is that u should have hard copies of previous years NET exam question papers which u can download from the csir web site (http://csirhrdg.nic.in/Question_Papers.html). The second thing is download the syllabus and get it printed. Take a June 2012 paper. Next thing that u should do is start analyzing each question. Identify the topic to which the question belongs. Write the name of topic to which the question belongs at a side of that question. In this way analyze the entire question from this paper. After this is finished, make a summary on a blank page. Use the similar method for Dec. 2012 and June 2012 paper and then Make a table as shown below (Table given below is just to show how the analysis is to be done. The weightage on the topics given in Table may be different than what is there in the papers. Topic June 2012 Dec. 2012 June 2013 Aromaticity 1 question of two 1 question of two 1 question of two marks and one marks and one marks and one question of 4 marks question of 4 marks question of 4 marks Heterocyclic 1 question of four 1 question of four 1 question of four chemistry marks marks marks Supramolecular No question No question No question No question No question No question chemistry Chemistry in nanoscience and technology (Some variation may be there in the weightage on few topics from exam to exam but it will not differ dramatically. Don t worry if you don t get any idea from this type analysis.) What we can learn from this analysis is that its of no use in studying the topics supramolecular chemistry and Chemistry in nanoscience and technology. You should select such topics on which the questions are asked in the exam. The number of topics that you should select must be sufficient to give you 120 marks. This is the first trick of study. The above analysis will require not more than six hours. I suggest all of u to do it. I feel one must do this to pass NET. STEP II OF STUDY: Qualitative Analysis of questions Once you have selected the topics, the most important part is how to study the selected topics. This is the most difficult part of NET. The biggest problem that most of us face in the exam is "we dont find any questions in the exam from the study material that we read or refer". I think most of u will agree with this. Remember that this is the problem with most of students preparing for NET in all the subjects. This happens because of our wrong method of study. Let us see what approach we should have while studying a particular topic. Let me begin a small story. This event occurred in Aug. 2006. One student came to me for the guidance regarding NET/SET. His subject was history. He was very much depressed when he came to me. He told me that he was preparing for NET/SET from last 6 years. I was shocked to hear that he has appeared for 12 SET and 12 NET exams in these years and failed in all of these exams. He asked me the reason regarding his failure. At first instance I thought that he was like most of other students preparing for NET/SET (the other students in this sentence refer to a category of students who want to clear NET/SET but have no time for study. These students prepare hardly for one month before exam for one or two hours due to which they fail in the exam). When I asked him how much time you study in day then he replied that he was preparing for 14-16 hours per day for last six years. When I heard this, I concluded that he is not like other students as mentioned in parenthesis above. It was very challenging situation for me. How can somebody fail in NET/SET exam on studying 14 hours a day for 6 years. Next, I asked him regarding the problem that he was facing. His answer was " sir, jo main padhata hoon usipe kabhi questionhi nahi ata". On getting such an answer, I asked him to specify this problem. He gave me an example which I will quote in his words: "Sir, we have history of Chatrapati Shivaji in the syllabus. I have studied history of Chatrapati Shivaji for one and half year. I have refereed most of books and even encyclopaedia concerning history of Chatrapati Shivaji. I have gained so much knowledge on history of Chatrapati Shivaji that I can write two Ph. D. thesis on him. Unfortunately, in spite of studying this much, whenever I go to NET/SET exam, I find a very different question on this topic which I am unable to solve." I was unable to guide him as I did not had any solution for his problem. The fellow went back depressed. I could not sleep that night. I was wondering for the reason regarding his failure. However, in spite of thinking on his problem for several days, I could not find any solution. However, god was kind enough to provide me solution for his problem. It was Dec. 2007, when I met a student in Pune University who has cleared NET in History. The most exciting thing about him was that he had qualified the NET when he was in M.A. Part II. When he met me, first thing he did was he touched my feet and said that he had cleared SET/NET because of my blessings. I was surprised to hear this from him since I had never seen before. He said that he had attended my lecture regarding NET/SET preparation when he was in M.A. part I and that inspired him to appear for NET/SET. I had a very good chance to compare this fellow with the one who came to me in Aug. 2006 since both were history students. I asked few questions to this fellow. I was shocked to hear that this fellow has studied only for one and half month and cleared NET (This was shocking to me because the first fellow has failed in spite of 6 years of study). I asked him regarding the method of his study. As I wanted to be more precise and therefore I asked him his method of study on the topic history of Chatrapati Shivaji. The fellow replied that he has initially analysed the questions on the topic history of Chatrapati Shivaji from the old NET exam papers. He found following questions (Plz note that the paper III was descriptive during those days and this part of syllabus is for paper III): June 2004: Describe the gold ornaments during the Chatrapati Shivajis era? Dec. 2004: Explain various silver ornaments during the Chatrapati Shivajis era? June 2005: Write an explanatory note on ornaments of pearl during Chatrapati Shivajis era? After telling these questions to me, he said to me that "from the questions asked so far, I came to the conclusion that the questions of history of Chatrapati Shivaji are based on ornaments during Chatrapati Shivajis era and therefore I searched books in Library. No book in library was available on ornaments but finally I got a book where there was illustration of ornaments used in Chatrapati Shivajis era. I studied only ornaments and nothing else. This required only 30 minutes. When I went to last NET exam which I had passed there was a question on writing a note on various copper ornaments during he Chatrapati Shivajis era? Compare two students now: One fellow is studying for one and half year on history of Chatrapati Shivaji for 14 hours a day. He can write two thesis on this topic but unfortunately he could not attempt the question in NET/SET on this topic. THE OTHER FELLOW HAS STUDIED history of Chatrapati Shivaji ONLY FOR 30 MINUTES BUT STILL HE HAS SOLVED THE QUESTION ASKED ON THIS TOPIC IN THE EXAM. This is because, first fellow has not seen what type of questions are asked in old exams. Instead, daily he use to go in library, use to get a very goof reference books on this topic and use to read the complete book from Ist page to last. The other fellow has initially analysed the questions in previous exams and has come to some sound conclusion and therefore could study exact literature on which the questions were asked. Analyse yourself now. What type of student you are? Whether type I or type II? If you are type I student then there are very less chances of passing. If you are type II student, there are more chances of your passing. Remember, we follow very orthodox method of study which never help us to pass these exams. So what is the correct method to prepare for Section B and C. For an instance, assume that you are studying valence bond theory. I suggest you to do the following: Take a blank page. Write the all questions asked on VBT in last two year exams. See whether these questions can help you to find a track of study. For an instance, most of questions on VBT are based on identification of either hybridization or geometry of complexes. This means that we must know how to find hybridization and geometry of the complexes if we want to pass NET. If you dont see the questions on VBT, then you will study ONLY assumptions of VBT and will be unable to find the geometries and hybridisation. So I suggest you to use the same method for all the selected topics. At majority of places u will come to sound conclusion. You will find that applicative questions are asked on most of the topics. We usually do not study applications. This happens because our method of study for M.Sc. is orthodox where we pay more attention towards theoretical study because in M. Sc. most of questions are starting with Describe, Explain, Write a note of....... STEP III OF STUDY: How to study Now, let me tell u how to study syllabus. I suggest you to divide your study in three parts: Part I: Prepare your own notes by using simple books Part II: Refer difficult level reference books and solve exercise given in these books. Part III: Solve at least 5000 MCQs This should be done with proper time management. For example, if i have 100 days for study, I will spend 40 days for part I, 25 days for Part II and 35 days of Part III. How to study Part I: CSIR NET syllabus is changed. The revised syllabus is just the modified version of old. The new syllabus does not give any idea regarding chemistry. For example, there is a topic called heterocyclic chemistry. If u look at heterocyclic chemistry in revised new syllabys, u dont get any idea regarding which heterocycles you should study. Similarly, there is a topic called common organic reactions. The reactions in this topic are not specified. This means that you should study at least 1000 reactions BECAUSE I think these many reactions must be common to many of us. Thus I suggest you to refer the old syllabus of NET. I am suggesting the same to all my students and most of them have cleared NET. I have heard that most of paper setters are still referring old syllabus. Also, if u see properly, u will find that revised syllabus is modification or bifurcation of old syllabus. If u look at the old syllabus, u will find that in old pattern, there were two papers. Paper I: which comprised of Section A on general science and Section B on chemistry. This paper was objective and there were 10 topics in Section B in syllabus. Paper II: which was descriptive has 34 topics for study. I suggest you to study all the ten topics from Paper I, Section B to all the students regardless of your specialization. This is because these topics are very basic and they are from organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. The names of these topics are: 1. Structure and Bonding:[Topic From Inorganic Chemistry, Major topic] 2. Acids and Bases: [Topic From Physical Chemistry, Minor topic] 3. Redox Reactions: [Topic From Physical Chemistry, Minor topic] 4.Introductory Energetics and Dynamics of Chemical Reactions: [Topic From Physical Chemistry, Major topic] 5. Aspects of s, p, d, f Block Elements: [Topic From Inorganic Chemistry, Major topic]: 6. IUPAC Nomenclature of Simple Organic and Inorganic Compounds: [Topic From Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Monor topic] 7. Concept of Chirality: [Topic From Organic Chemistry, Major topic] 8. Common Organic Reactions and Mechanisms: [Topic From Organic Chemistry, Major topic] 9. Elementary principles and applications of electronic, vibrational, NMR, EPR, Mossbauer and mass spectral techniques to simple structural problems: [Topic From Organic and Inorganic chemistry, Major topic] 10. Data Analysis: [Topic From Inorganic chemistry, Minor topic] This was the syllabus for Paper I section B. I suggest all of u to study all the 10 topics. I have prepared the notes for all the 10 topics in which i have sincerely tried to prepare notes very systematically. I will try to provide you those notes. I have only hard copies of those notes. I will call these notes as GSR notes. I also suggest you to refer UPKAR publication book for NET in chemistry written by Taneja. I have seen the excellent notes of Aditya vardhan which he has prepared. I suggest you to use all these things for above 10 chapters. Use following method. Step I: Keep syllabus aside. For example, I am studying electronegativity from structure and bonding. What I will do is I will use GSR notes, UPKAR book and Adityas notes + one reference book of my choice. I will read electronegative simultaneously form all these four sources, understand the concept and will prepare my own notes which should be very brief. In a similar way, I will study all the other points. Step II: All these study materials GSR notes, UPKAR book and Adityas notes) have MCQs at the end of the each chapter. I will immediately solve them. In the case, if I am not able to solve any question, I will use reference books and find out the method to solve the answer of that question. Most of us simply see the answer of such question and proceed further. Step III: I have just written a book of ~2500 MCQs on these 10 chapters. It is not published yet. I suggest you solve the MCQs from this book. (The making of this book required 6 years for me). The questions in the book are of highest standard were comments of Prof. P. S. Kalasi when he saw rough copy of my book. Step IV: Iwill send u 400 mixed questions on these 10 topics. I suggest you to solve them after you finish the study of all the 10 chapters. I am sure that this will be the best method to prepare for 10 chapters. Even if u dont refer my notes, still it will not make a problem to you. In stead, you can use one more standard reference book for study. But then u should remember that I have prepared these notes for u. Us following time table: MHCET stand for Maharashtra eng.entrance exam test. u can use mCQs of ur state level exam of such type. After the syllabus, I have written names of resource material that u should follow. Some web sites are also given: 1. Structure and Bonding: Atomic orbitals, electronic configuration of atoms (L-S coupling) and the periodic properties of elements, ionic radii, ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, concept of hybridization. Molecular orbitals and electronic configuration of homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomic molecules. Shapes of polyatomic molecules. VSEPR theory.

Spectroscopy There are 15 topics from physical, 7 topics from inorganic, 11 topics from organic and 1 topic from analytical chemistry. I suggest all of u to study syllabus of any two specializations. Dont consider analytical as specialization. I suggest the following selection: Organic chemistry students: Study all organic topics (except natural products) + All inorganic topics Inorganic chemistry students: Study all organic topics (except natural products) + All inorganic topics Physical Chemistry students: Study majority of physical chemistry topics and all inorganic topics plus some esay organic topics like reagents and selective organic reactions Analytical chemistry students: Study all organic topics (except natural products) + All inorganic topics + Analytical chemistry topic. I have prepared the following table for organic, inorganic and analytical chemistry students. These students can choose following topics: TOPIC DISTRIBUTION Organic Chemistry Physical Chemsitry No. of Topics = 15 x Inorganic Chemistry No. of Topics = 07 No. of Topics = 11 Solids Aromaticity Quantum Chem. Analytical Chemistry No. of Topics = 01 Topics in Analytical Analytical Chemistry x The variation method.... Nuclear Chemistry x Born-Oppenheimer.... Chem. of Non Transition x Quantum Mechanics Chem. of Transition x Spectroscopy x Thermodynamics x Chemical equlibrium x Ideal& non ideal soln x Equilibria in elctro. Cells x Surface phenomena x Stastical Thermo. x Non. equlibrium Thermo. Photochemistry Reaction Kinetics Spectroscopy x Stereochemistry Name Reactions Mechanisms of Org. Rean. Lanthanides & Acti. Pericyclic Reactions Organometallic Chem. Heterocycles Bioinorganic chem. x Reagents x Natural Products x Bioorganic Chem. Fast Reactions Macromolecules (Plz remember that this my suggestion. The selection should depend on ur abilities. If u study more topics, it is well and good. ) I suggest you to use following books for preparation. I have prepared notes for all the topics of inorganic chemistry. I can provide with u these notes. When I was preparing the notes for this section, most of students and colleagues use to criticize me and use to suggest me to prepare notes for organic section. As I was from organic chemistry, it would have been easy job for me to prepare organic notes instead of inorganic. But I decided to prepare inorganic chemistry notes. The reason for this was that I was knowing that most of M.Sc. chemistry students have organic specialization. They will easily study organic but will not take inorganic seriously. Thus, I have prepared the noted of Inorganic. They have benefited the students of all specializations except (inorganic). This is because students of phy. org. and ana. can study the syllabus from their specialization easily and the inorganic section notes which I have prepared help them to do study conveniently. I dont have organic chemistry notes. I have never taken any efforts to prepare them because I was knowing that students of organic chemistry can study the syllabus provided the names of the books are suggested to the. Thus, I have given the names of reference books. I have not suggested the names of the books for physical chemistry as I have not studied for this specialization. I have read the notes of Aditya which are the best notes that I have ever seen. I suggest all of u to use that as common to all the following topics. I have given below the method for preparation of inorganic and inorganic notes mentioned above. Solids: Dislocations in solids, Schottky and Frenkel defects. Electrical properties. Insulators and semiconductors, band theory of solids, solid-state reactions. Time for study: [5 hrs x 3 days] Reference books: GSR notes. Use B. Sc. III book and Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J. D. Lee for crystal structures of common ionic compounds. Use the web sitehttp://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch13/unitcell.php for crystal structures of ionic compounds. Use Solid state Chemistry by A. H. Hanney for solid state reactions. Use B. Sc. III Chemistry book for Semiconductors. Consult physics teacher for magnetic susceptibility, superconductors and their types and Meissner effect. Nuclear Chemistry: Radioactive decay and equilibrium. Nuclear reactions, Q value, crosssections, types of reactions. Chemical effects of nuclear transformations, fission and fusion, fission products and fission yields. Radioactive techniques, tracer techniques, neutron activation analysis, counting techniques such as G.M., ionization and proportional counters Time for study: [5 hrs x 3 days] Reference books: Use 12th Std. book for problems on radioactivity. Use Essentials of Nuclear Chemistry by H. J. Arnikar for types of nuclear reactions, Q value, nuclear cross section, isotope dilution technique, NAA and tracer technique. B. Sc.
