The revised pattern for this part will test general aptitude with
emphasis on logical reasoning, graphical analysis, analytical and
numerical ability, quantitative comparison, series formation, puzzles
etc. There is no syllabus prescribed for this.
Part - B contains 50 multiple choice questions generally covering
the topics given in the syllabus. A candidate is required to answer
any 35 questions and each correct answer is awarded with 2 marks.
The total marks allocated to this section shall be 70 out of 200.
The standards of these questions from this section may range from
10+2 to PG level in chemistry subject.
Part - C consists of 75 questions. A candidate shall be required to
answer any 25 questions, each carrying 4 marks. The maximum
marks allocated to this section is 100 out of 200.
The questions shall be of analytical nature where a candidate is
expected to apply the scientific knowledge in chemistry to arrive at
the solution to the given problem.
There will be negative marking @25% for each wrong answer.

or inorganic or physical, depending on your taste and specialization
at PG level.
Always choose right books and solve the previous question papers
in a logical manner.
Few pupil are also asking for important topics/books, mostly for
Paper-C. Following is a possible combination of topics/books you

a lucid manner and is very important for those who dare to attempt
organic questions from part C of CSIR NET exam. Most of the
previous organic questions are straightly from this book. Just enjoy
reading this book and earn easy points.)
Detection of nitrogen
Detection of sulfur
i) Preparation of SFE
A small amount of organic substance is fused with small quantity of
sodium metal in a fusion tube. The red hot fusion tube is then
plunged into distilled water and the contents are boiled for a few
minutes, then cooled and filtered.
The filtrate obtained is called sodium fusion extract (SFE) or
Lassaignes extract. It is usually alkaline. If it is not alkaline, a few
drops of NaOH solution may be added to make it alkaline.
Detection of halogens

(if N is present)
(if S is present)
Where
When both N & S are present:
X = Cl/Br/I
Hence SFE may contain any of or all of ionic forms of respective
elements.
TEST FOR NITROGEN
To a portion of SFE, freshy prepared ferrous sulphate, FeSO 4
solution is added and warmed. Then about 2 to 3 drops of FeCl 3
solution are added and acidified with conc. HCl. The appearance of
a Prussian blue color indicates the presence of nitrogen.
Note:
1) It is not possible to detect the presence of fluorine since the
solubility of AgF is more and thus no precipitate is formed.
2) If nitrogen or sulfur are present in the organic compound, the
formation of black precipitates of AgCN or AgS may interfere
during the test for halogens. Hence the CN - and S2- have to be
removed from the SFE. This is done by boiling the SFE with conc.
HNO3 or glacial acetic acid to almost dryness. The CN - and S2- ions
are removed as HCN and H2S gases.
