 overall Analysis & Cutoff

• Organic Chemistry questions were moderate and tricky/conceptual.

• Physical Chemistry questions were lengthy. There were a lot of calculation.
• Inorganic chemistry questions were easy.
• Paper was easier than last year paper and in between main & Advanced level paper.
• In Paper Code C322, one question was repeated twice & in one question, some information was
missing while in Paper code C321 & C323, everything was fine.
• As per Rao IIT Academy Experts,
2016-17 2017-18 Expected
