Career in Organomettallic Chemistry through CSIR-UGC-NET and GATE Exams

An organometallic compound is defined as one that contains atleast one direct metal-carbon bond. This excludes some carbon compounds which are considered to be inorganic such as carbides (like calcium carbide) and cyanides (like sodium cyanide). The carbon containing groups may be carbonyls, alkyl, alkene, aromatic, cyclic or heterocyclic. From the exam point of view like CSIR-UGC-NET in Chemistry and GATE in Chemistry, organometallic chemistry is very important branch of chemistry. Every time, so many questions are asked in CSIR-UGC-NET in Chemistry and GATE in Chemistry. It is the key topic for all the institute preparing for CSIR-UGC-NET in Chemistry, GATE coaching in Chemistry.

Day by day, the competitive level of any entrance examination of different academic programmes from the renowed Institutions and Universities are very chalenging. This is mainly because; every day more students are involving in competition to shape their career with the help of these programmes related to chemistry while the total number of seats remains constant! If you want to join these institutions to shape the career in the fields related to Chemistry, then it is ideally recommended to gain commendable knowledge in the field of ‘Chemistry and Chemical Sciences’ so that you can reflect the same everywhere.

Have you planned for the admission In any Ph.D./M.Tech. programme in Chemistry?

When it comes to the admission in IITs, NITs and Universities, the majority of the students tend to feel sceptic about the admission procedure. This is mainly because; CSIR-UGC-NET and GATE and other prestigious exams are the key to fulfil their dreams in getting hold of a prestigious degree from the renowned InstitutIONS and the Universities. With the help of the examS ‘CSIR-UGC-NET’ & ‘GATE’, a student can take the admission in IITs, Universities (Central & Deemed) and some centrally funded Institutes of technology (CFITs) having almost all facilities available in these renowned Institutes related to the chemistry and Chemical Science.

The key steps for cracking the prestigious exams like CSIR-UGC-NET, GATE, DRDO, BARC, DU, BHU, IIT MANDI and Some other prestigious entrance Exams are:

•    Selection of the topics;
•    Getting the basic ideas for all the selected topics chosen for the study;
•    Applying the concepts, ideas and useful tricks, what you learned, to solve the more and more previous year question papers related to selected topics chosen for the study;
•    Proofreading before accepting the concept and use the standard books to get the right concepts without any error.
The overall process is simple; but, once you are able to follow the above process, you will achieve your goal to crack the all prestigeous exams like ‘CSIR-UGC-NET’ and ‘GATE’.
