Chemistry - General Organic Chemistry

Practise 48 BITSAT previous year questions on General Organic Chemistry, compiled from papers spanning 2009 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty BITSAT tests.

General Organic Chemistry has been asked in 15 of the 16 years of BITSAT papers analysed (2009–2024), with 48 questions in all. 42% of them were easy, 46% moderate and 13% tough. Most of its questions came from 2024, with 6 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 13 questions across 6 papers, about 2.2 per paper.

The chapter's 10 topics are not weighted equally: Isomerism of Organic Compounds (15 questions, 31%), Conjugation and Aromaticity (6 questions, 13%), and Electron displacement effects (6 questions, 13%) have been asked the most. Isomerism of Organic Compounds has also led over the last five years, with 4 questions. Conjugation and Aromaticity has produced the most tough questions (1).
