Doc Brown's Chemistry - Online Revision Notes Help for India's ITI-JEE Exam Syllabus
CHEMISTRY revision help for the Joint Entrance Examination for Indian
Technical Institutes (IITs)
IIT = an India Institute of Technology,
JEE = Joint Examination Entrance for admission to undergraduate
programmes of study at India's IITs at Bhubaneswar, Bombay, Delhi, Gandhinagar,
Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Mandi, Patna,
Rajasthan, Roorkee, Ropar, It-Bhu, Varanasi, Ism-Dhanbad
Not all the syllabus-specification topics are covered but I've listed links to
sections of my website which should prove useful
