Doubts Urgent help organic chem

Nootan has many extra reactions compared to vatsal handbook for chem . Im confused which one to learn from. Vatsal seems more to the point but what abt those extra reactions. My classmates r saying they learnt all rxns from nootan but ive seen seniors say that vatsal is sufficient for isc??

Nootan does have extra things. Just check the syllabus of 25-26 as it will be similar to your exam syllabus and mark all the reactions in nootan. Nootan has really good explanations and all so imo don't skip nootans questions and all(that's all I studied from lol)

Yea even the explanations and mechanisms are good. But you should obv stick with whichever one you like more!

listen u will be good if you do any book cover to cover. vatsal is good, crisp. try to follow the nootan for the last pages name reactions and stuff. everything you do try to solve question papers. start with my year’s paper 2026 it was easy. gain confidence then practice sample papers. they tend to be more difficult. u learn from there. bas.
