How to Use NCERT Solutions Class 11 Well

  1. Read the NCERT chapter first, and mark the definitions, diagrams and examples.
  2. Solve each question on your own, and only then open the solution to compare your steps and your answer.
  3. Note your mistakes in a small notebook, and revise them once a week.
  4. Finish the chapter before you move on. In Physics and Maths, solve the examples and the exercises. In Biology, solve the questions and revise the diagrams.

💡 Tip from the eSaral Academic Team: In Class 11, finish the NCERT questions of a chapter before you start the JEE or NEET practice questions of the same chapter. The NCERT questions show what the concept looks like in its simplest form, and the harder questions are easier after that.

Why NCERT Solutions Class 11 Matter for CBSE, JEE and NEET

  • CBSE exams: school exams in Class 11 follow the NCERT chapters, so the NCERT Solutions Class 11 are the first thing to cover.
  • JEE: NCERT builds the base in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and Chemistry in particular follows the NCERT concepts closely. For Maths and Physics, add JEE-level practice after the NCERT questions.
  • NEET: the Biology questions are based on the NCERT text and diagrams, so a full reading of the Biology book matters as much as the answers to the questions.
  • Class 12: Class 11 topics such as mechanics, atomic structure, organic basics and the cell come back in Class 12, so a solid base now saves time later.
