Questions From NCERT
NCERT was the ‘go-to’ book of many JEE Main aspirants this year. Experts shared that the Chemistry section of the exam was largely based on NCERT textbooks, like last few years. However, some of the questions in Physics and Chemistry too were NCERT based. But the number of such questions were low. Thus, do not skip glancing through NCERT books to score better in the exam.
