Objective Chemistry for NEET — Vol. II by K. Rama Rao
Objective Chemistry for NEET and Other Medical Entrance Examinations, Volume II by K. Rama Rao is a Pearson-published practice resource aligned with the Class 12 NCERT chemistry syllabus. Rather than re-teaching theory from scratch, it takes concepts students already encounter in their textbooks and reshapes them into a question-driven format — the kind of preparation that NEET, NEST, and IISER IAT tend to reward.
Key Features
What makes this volume stand out is its layered approach to practice. Each chapter opens with a concise synopsis of key concepts, then moves straight into problem-solving. You will find single-correct MCQs, assertion-reason questions, statement-type problems, and match-the-column exercises — formats that regularly appear on entrance papers. Previous years' NEET and AIPMT questions are embedded chapter-wise, so aspirants tackle them topic by topic instead of waiting for a full mock test at the end. A solved NEET Phase-1 question paper closes the book, giving a realistic sense of the exam's rhythm and difficulty curve.
The coverage spans 19 chapters across physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry. Solid State, Solutions, Electrochemistry, and Chemical Kinetics anchor the physical chemistry portion. The p-block elements are split into four focused sub-chapters — nitrogen, oxygen, halogen, and noble gas families — which keeps a notoriously dense topic digestible. Inorganic chemistry continues through d- and f-block elements and metallurgy. The organic side runs from haloalkanes through alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and amines, finishing with biomolecules, polymers, chemistry in everyday life, and qualitative salt analysis.
A couple of caveats are worth mentioning. The 2016 edition predates recent NEET pattern updates, so pairing it with a current solved-paper collection makes sense. Diagrams are functional but not visually polished, and answer keys occasionally warrant cross-checking. None of this undermines the question bank itself — it is broad enough to surface weak spots and specific enough to build genuine exam reflexes.
For a Class 12 student balancing board exams with entrance preparation, the chapter-wise layout is a genuine time-saver. You can open any topic right after a school lecture and immediately start testing yourself. NEST and IISER IAT aspirants will find the inorganic and physical chemistry sections particularly relevant, since those exams lean into conceptual depth rather than surface-level recall.
K. Rama Rao brings years of coaching experience to the sequencing — questions build from straightforward recall to application to tricky edge cases. At roughly 616 pages, the book is substantial without feeling padded, and the Pearson production quality holds up through repeated use. If you are serious about medical or science entrance exams and want a chemistry practice book that respects your time, this volume earns its place on your desk.
