Chemistry - General Organic Chemistry

Practise 55 Manipal (MET) previous year questions on General Organic Chemistry, compiled from papers spanning 2010 to 2021. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty Manipal (MET) tests.

General Organic Chemistry has been asked in 12 of the 15 years of Manipal (MET) papers analysed (2010–2024), with 55 questions in all. 40% of them were easy, 49% moderate and 11% tough. Most of its questions came from 2016, with 10 questions that year.

The chapter's 9 topics are not weighted equally: Isomerism of Organic Compounds (14 questions, 25%), IUPAC Nomenclature (12 questions, 22%), and Conjugation and Aromaticity (9 questions, 16%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Classification of organic compounds (4), IUPAC Nomenclature (4), and Electron displacement effects (2). Isomerism of Organic Compounds has produced the most tough questions (4).
