National Test Agency (NTA) conducts JEE Main 2020 exams in two sessions – January 2020 and April 2020. JEE Main 2020 registration for January session is already closed and for April session it will open from 7th February 2020 and close on 7th March 2020. JEE Main exam is one of the most reputed exams for the candidates aspiring for engineering, architecture, and planning course. The exam dates are already announced which are 6 to 11 January 2020 for January session and 3 to 9 April 2020 for April session. Candidates can fill JEE Main 2020 application form for both the session. They can appear for both sessions and the best of the two percentiles will be considered for admission. This is one of the toughest entrance tests for undergraduate courses. This national level entrance test offers admission in the IITs, NITs, IIITs, Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs), and other reputed engineering institutes in the country.

It is estimated that the JEE Main 2020 will be given by approximately 15 Lakh students. Exams are around the corner and students are worried about the important topics, the best books for the respective subjects and many more things. Here we are to solve your problem regarding the best chemistry book for JEE Main 2020 preparation. The candidate has to be passed 12th class with a recognized board with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as their compulsory subjects. JEE Main 2020 exam pattern has been changed this year and the major change is that the total number of questions has been decreased to 75 from 90 questions in 2019. The question paper will also contain numerical based questions for the exam. This year onwards, IITs organizes different exams for the candidates who are seeking admission in the Planning course.

JEE Main 2020 will have three papers this year for the courses of B. Tech, B. Arch, and B. Plan and they carry 300, 400, and 400 marks respectively. The time duration for the exams are 3 hours for each and all the three papers have 3 sections each. For B. Tech – Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, for B. Arch – Drawing, Mathematics, and Aptitude, and B. Plan – Mathematics, Aptitude, and Planning based questions. Chemistry comprises 25 questions in all the exams among which 20 questions are Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) carrying 1 mark each with no negative marking and 5 numerical carrying 4 marks each with one mark as negative marking. Chemistry is the easiest subject as compared to the other two subjects. Here we have mentioned the important topics and best books for the preparation for the JEE Main 2020 preparation for Chemistry.

However, choosing the best Chemistry book for the study of the JEE Main is not an easy task. As for every unit, there is a different book and for the theoretical and numerical part which is pretty extensive. To score good marks in Chemistry you must juggle between a few books from some of the best authors. Chemistry is divided into three parts – Physics Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. This subject is more about planning rather concepts and applications. With the understanding of strong fundamentals and consistency, students can secure good marks in this subject in the JEE Main 2020 exam. It is believed that the NCERT book is the best book which is no doubt the best book for the basics of the subject. Take a look at the list of the best Chemistry books for JEE Main 2020 preparation:

Authors/Publishers Best Chemistry Books for JEE Main
