Course Overview

The Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates certification course highlights the logical problem-solving techniques in organic chemistry. Students cannot usually solve these problems on their own and need to master the techniques thoroughly. The course instructor, Professor Amit Basak, is an expert instructor who can clear these concepts.

The Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates certification syllabus offers a solid foundation of the organic chemistry concepts and is spread over eight weeks. As the course nears the end, learners will see how the training has helped them understand the correlation between the different kinds of organic reactions and their respective mechanical details.

The Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates online course is designed to suit the academic requirements of undergraduate students. Moreover, this core course falls under the branch of chemistry and enables students to realize the joy of mastering the concepts of organic chemistry.

Eligibility Criteria

Students with the knowledge of the fundamentals of organic chemistry course at the undergraduate level can make the best use of the Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates certification course. In addition, those who have completed the stereochemistry course by NPTEL can also understand the concepts involved quite well.

Certification qualifying details

To be eligible for the Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates certification, students must secure a minimum score of 40/100 in the final exam. Moreover, they should also obtain the minimum scores of 10/25 and 30/75 in the internal assignments and external proctored examination, respectively. If the student has not met the criteria above, he/she will be ineligible for the certification.
