Hello,

The syllabus for M. Sc Chemistry includes the following :

• Reactions and reagents
• Carbohydrates
• Alicyclic compounds, aromatic compounds, fats and oils.
• Amino acids, proteins and dyes.
• Heterocyclic compounds and natural products
• Polymer
• Nucleophilic substitution
• Elimination reactions
• Theories of aromaticity
• Addition to carbon - carbon multiple bonds
• Gaseous state
• Atomic structure
• Reaction kinetics
• Phase equilibria
• Solutions
• Electrochemistry
• Electrical conductance
• Ionic equilibrium
• Surface chemistry
• Thermodynamics
• Chemical bonding
• Shape and intermolecular interactions
• Solid state
• Theories of coordination compounds
• Nuclear chemistry
• Electronic spectra and magnetism
• Electromagnetic radiation
• Rotational spectra
• Vibrational spectra
• Periodic table of elements
• Errors in chemical analysis
• Separation techniques
• Electrochemical techniques
• Atomic soectrometry
• Thermal techniques

Stress levels are pretty immense for cracking any entrance exam. There are some preparation tips that can be applied:

• Start by brushing off on your weaknesses so that you dont get all stressed out about those chapters at the back of your mind.
• Create a routine and stick to it.
• Start solving papers within a given time slot so that you dont run out of time during the actual exam.
• Practice, practice and practice.
• Also,  if you are referring to many books,  try to jot down the the extra points from textbooks other than the one that you are following so that during the last hours you have one main book and notes from all other books. The revision process will get easy and less time consuming.
• Set up an exam strategy like finishing off first with the less time consuming ones so that you have ample time for your numerical or the questions that demand some amount of time.

Feel free to ask any more questions. Thank you.
