This course has been very useful for comprehending the concepts from level zero to hundred covering all the topics in organic chemistry with logical explanations. The regular and brain storming quiz session is fun and interesting part. Especially the demonstration videos with the 3D models improvise the understanding regarding the spatial arrangements of the atoms and bonds even better. It is highly recommended for the undergraduate and masters students preparing for competitive exams like GATE and CSIR/UGC.
