Chemistry is not a mystery if you understand the subject in the right way. A strong base on fundamentals is important to deal with the second year. Hardworking nature and a logical way of dealing with problems will give you more confidence to gain a good score.
* In this academic year (2020-21) 30% syllabus is deleted by Board of Intermediate Education.
* In the intermediate public examination, Chemistry contains a maximum of 60 Marks.
* Inter Second Year Chemistry question paper contains three types of questions.
Section - A: Very Short Answer Questions (VSAQ)
Section - B: Short Answer Questions (SAQ)
Section - C: Long Answer Questions (LAQ)
* Students, first focus on the long answer and short answer questions to get good marks.
