If you're preparing for UP PGT Chemistry, you've probably already asked yourself which books to pick up. Bookstores and online lists throw dozens of titles at you, and it's easy to end up buying more books than you can realistically finish. The truth is, you don't need a mountain of material, you need the right combination of NCERT textbooks, a few standard reference books, and consistent practice.
This post walks you through six books that consistently work for UP PGT Chemistry aspirants, how to use each one, and how to sequence your preparation so you're not just collecting books but actually finishing your syllabus with confidence.
Best for: Building strong Chemistry fundamentals
Every serious UP PGT Chemistry preparation starts with NCERT. These textbooks explain fundamental concepts clearly and are the fastest way to revise important reactions, definitions, properties, and formulas before an exam.
Pay close attention to these topics while going through NCERT:
Atomic structure
Chemical bonding
Thermodynamics
Equilibrium
Electrochemistry
Chemical kinetics
Coordination compounds
Organic Chemistry reactions
Periodic properties
p-block and d-block elements
If your fundamentals in any of these areas feel shaky, resist the urge to jump straight to reference books. Finish the relevant NCERT chapters first, then move to more advanced material. Skipping this step is one of the most common reasons students struggle later with reference books that assume a base level of understanding.
Best for: Physical Chemistry concepts and problem-solving
Physical Chemistry rewards students who combine conceptual clarity with regular numerical practice, and O.P. Tandon's Physical Chemistry is built for exactly that combination.
The book covers:
Atomic structure
States of matter
Thermodynamics
Chemical equilibrium
Ionic equilibrium
Electrochemistry
Chemical kinetics
Solutions
Solid state
Surface chemistry
You don't need to work through every page. Match the chapters to your UP PGT Chemistry syllabus and use the book specifically where you need extra conceptual clarity or more numerical practice than NCERT provides.
Best for: Physical Chemistry numerical practice
If numericals are where you keep losing marks, R.C. Mukherjee's Numerical Chemistry is worth prioritizing. It gives you extensive Physical Chemistry problem sets that sharpen:
Calculation speed
Accuracy
Formula application
Problem-solving approach
Conceptual understanding of numerical topics
The most effective approach is to first understand a topic and its formulas, then attempt questions from that specific chapter, rather than solving the book front to back without a plan. Pick questions according to what's actually in the UP PGT Chemistry syllabus instead of attempting everything randomly.
Best for: Inorganic Chemistry preparation
Inorganic Chemistry mixes conceptual understanding with a large amount of factual recall, which makes systematic revision essential. O.P. Tandon's Inorganic Chemistry is a solid resource for:
Periodic properties
Chemical bonding
s-block elements
p-block elements
Transition elements
Coordination compounds
Metallurgy
Qualitative analysis
Important inorganic compounds and reactions
While studying this section, maintain short notes on reactions, exceptions, trends, and properties as you go. These notes become extremely valuable during your final revision, when you won't have time to reread full chapters.
If topics like Inorganic Chemistry trends and exceptions feel hard to retain on your own, The Rasayanam app has structured video lectures and topic-wise practice tests for UP PGT Chemistry that break these patterns down step by step, available on Google Play and via the Classplus app.
Best for: Organic Chemistry concepts and reaction mechanisms
Organic Chemistry gets difficult fast if you try to memorize reactions without understanding why they happen. Morrison & Boyd is the standard reference for building that deeper understanding of mechanisms and reasoning.
It's useful for:
Hydrocarbons
Aromatic compounds
Alcohols and phenols
Aldehydes and ketones
Carboxylic acids
Amines
Stereochemistry
Reaction mechanisms
Important organic reactions
You don't need to read this book cover to cover for UP PGT preparation. Focus on the chapters relevant to your syllabus, and spend extra time on the mechanisms rather than just the final products of reactions, mechanism-based questions are where many candidates lose marks despite knowing the reactions themselves.
Best for: Deeper understanding of Inorganic Chemistry
J.D. Lee's Concise Inorganic Chemistry works well once you want to go beyond O.P. Tandon for a particular topic. It helps with:
Periodic trends
Chemical bonding
Coordination chemistry
Transition elements
Main-group chemistry
Organometallic chemistry
Inorganic reactions
Treat this as a reference book rather than something to memorize completely. Use it selectively when a concept from O.P. Tandon or NCERT needs more depth or a clearer explanation.
You don't need to study all six books cover to cover. A practical way to divide your effort:
NCERT should remain your foundation throughout. The other five books come in as targeted support based on your individual strengths and weaknesses — not as a fixed list everyone must finish equally.
Books alone won't get you through UP PGT Chemistry. Along with the recommended titles, build these two habits into your preparation:
Previous-year questions show you the exact pattern, weightage, and difficulty level of the exam. Use them to identify:
Frequently tested concepts and high-yield topics
Your individual weak areas
Time management and pacing issues
Solve topic-wise previous-year questions right after finishing a chapter rather than saving them all for the end.

Once you've covered a major portion of the syllabus, start taking full-length timed mock tests. After each test, categorize your errors into four buckets:
Conceptual mistakes: You need to re-read and understand the core concept.
Memory mistakes: You forgot a specific formula, named reaction, or periodic trend.
Calculation mistakes: The concept was correct, but numerical execution failed.
Careless mistakes: You misread the question or options under pressure.
Reviewing your performance this way highlights exact preparation gaps far better than endlessly attempting tests without analysis.

Step 1: Start with the UP PGT Chemistry syllabus. Before picking chapters from any reference book, go through the syllabus carefully and mark what you're already comfortable with versus what needs more work.
Step 2: Build your foundation with NCERT. Read the relevant chapters and make short notes containing formulas, reactions, definitions, trends, and exceptions.
Step 3: Use reference books for difficult topics only. If you understand Chemical Equilibrium from NCERT but struggle with the numericals, go to O.P. Tandon or R.C. Mukherjee for that specific gap, not the entire book.
Step 4: Practice previous-year questions after each topic. This tests whether you can apply what you've studied, not just recall it.
Step 5: Revise regularly. Chemistry, especially Organic and Inorganic, needs repeated revision. Keep your notes short enough to go through multiple times before the exam.
Step 6: Take mock tests once most of the syllabus is done. Track your score over time and pay attention to topics where mistakes repeat.
If you want a short answer to which books matter most for UP PGT Chemistry preparation, start here:
NCERT Chemistry Class 11 & 12 — for fundamentals
O.P. Tandon — Physical Chemistry — for concepts and practice
R.C. Mukherjee — Numerical Chemistry — for numerical problems
O.P. Tandon — Inorganic Chemistry — for Inorganic Chemistry
Morrison & Boyd — Organic Chemistry — for Organic Chemistry
J.D. Lee — Concise Inorganic Chemistry — for deeper Inorganic Chemistry concepts
Add previous-year question papers, practice sets, and mock tests around these six books, and your preparation strategy is complete.
Completing more books does not automatically mean better preparation. Start with NCERT, use standard reference books to strengthen the specific topics where you're weak, practice questions consistently, and revise multiple times before your exam. Focus on one goal: understanding the UP PGT Chemistry syllabus well enough to solve questions accurately and confidently on exam day.

If you're preparing for UP PGT Chemistry, you've probably already discovered the problem: YouTube has too many Chemistry channels, and not all of them are built for your exam. Full syllabus lectures, one-shot revisions, PYQ marathons, mock test walkthroughs, the content is everywhere, but not all of it is exam-specific.
This post breaks down which channels actually serve UP PGT Chemistry aspirants and how to use them without wasting your revision time.
Why isn't subscriber count the right filter?
It's tempting to pick the channel with the biggest numbers, but subscriber count tells you nothing about syllabus alignment. For UP PGT Chemistry specifically, you need three things from a channel: content mapped to the actual UP PGT/GIC syllabus, sufficient MCQ and PYQ practice, and a teaching pace that matches how the exam is structured.
A channel with lakhs of subscribers teaching generic NET-level Chemistry won't help you the way a smaller, exam-focused channel will.
Don't try to follow all five at once. Pick one as your primary channel and use the rest only when you need a second explanation of a specific topic.
The Rasayanam's channel is built specifically around UP PGT and GIC Chemistry preparation. The content includes preparation strategy videos, topic-wise Chemistry classes, PYQ marathons, and revision-focused sessions. The website extends this with dedicated UP PGT/GIC Chemistry resources, so the YouTube content connects directly to a larger preparation system rather than standing alone.
What's currently available includes:
UP PGT Chemistry preparation strategy
Chemistry PYQ marathons
Topic-wise practice sessions
UP PGT/GIC Chemistry classes
Revision-oriented content
Chemistry questions for TGT/PGT/GIC and related teaching exams
Best for: Aspirants who want their Chemistry preparation tied directly to the PGT/TGT/GIC exam pattern, with practice and PYQs built into every topic rather than treated as an afterthought.
MadChem Classes runs a dedicated UP PGT Chemistry course with preparation strategy sessions, MCQ practice, model papers, and paper analysis. The volume of content is a strength here, hundreds of videos, question banks, and PYQ resources give you a large pool to draw from if you want extensive practice alongside conceptual teaching.
Best for: Students who want both concept coverage and heavy question-practice volume in one place.
This channel names UP PGT Chemistry and GIC Lecturer Chemistry directly among its target exams, with dedicated videos covering previous-year papers going back to 2015 and 2016, along with more recent test-series content.
Best for: Students specifically hunting for solved PYQs and test-series practice as a supplement to their main preparation.
Chemophilic Academy leans more conceptual, with lectures on chemical kinetics, main-group elements, statistical thermodynamics, pericyclic reactions, and organometallic chemistry. It also has content on how to structure your UP PGT preparation from scratch, including book and material recommendations.
Best for: Students who want deeper conceptual lectures to supplement a primary UP PGT-focused source.
TCS Academy covers multiple competitive and teaching exams, with some dedicated UP PGT Chemistry preparation-strategy content mixed in with broader exam material.
Best for: Students looking for an additional perspective on strategy and Chemistry classes.
Before committing, watch two or three lectures on a topic you already know well, and check:
Is the explanation genuinely clear, or just fast?
Does it map to the UP PGT Chemistry syllabus, or a broader one?
Are concepts explained, or just read out?
Is there enough MCQ practice attached?
Are PYQs discussed, and from which years?
Does the difficulty level match the actual exam?
If most of these check out, that's your channel.
Collecting content isn't preparation. Saving 15 playlists, 50 lectures, and 20 revision videos means nothing if you don't finish them. The rule that actually works: one primary channel, one supplementary channel, and consistent question practice, not five half-watched playlists.
If keeping track of lectures, notes, and practice tests across scattered YouTube playlists is already getting hard to manage, The Rasayanam app brings UP PGT Chemistry classes, topic-wise tests, and PYQ practice into one structured place, so you're not rebuilding your own syllabus tracker from YouTube history. It's available on Google Play for Android and through the Classplus app on iOS.
YouTube works best as one link in a longer chain, not the whole strategy:
Learn → Make Notes → Solve MCQs → Attempt PYQs → Analyse Mistakes → Revise
Step 1: Start from the syllabus, not the homepage. Search for individual topics ("UP PGT Chemistry Chemical Equilibrium") instead of scrolling whatever YouTube recommends.
Step 2: Watch actively. Take notes on concepts, formulae, reactions, exceptions, and frequently asked points, not a transcript of the video.
Step 3: Solve questions right after. If you get one wrong, figure out why before checking the solution: conceptual gap, formula confusion, calculation slip, memory lapse, or misreading the question. That diagnosis matters more than the score itself.
Step 4: Prioritize PYQs. They show you exactly which Chemistry concepts the UP PGT exam repeatedly tests.
Step 5: Keep a mistake notebook. Log the topic, the question, why you got it wrong, and the correct concept. Revisit this notebook regularly, it becomes one of your strongest revision tools closer to the exam.
A complete, exam-ready preparation flow looks like this:
Syllabus → Core Study Material → Video Lectures → Short Notes → MCQs → PYQs → Mock Tests → Spaced Revision
Skipping core books and personal note-taking to go straight from video to video leaves critical conceptual gaps. Gaps that often only reveal themselves on exam day. YouTube is a great supplementary tool, but watching scattered lectures without a structured workflow creates a passive learning trap.
If a specific topic doesn't click with your primary source, search for that exact concept individually (e.g., "Coordination Chemistry UP PGT Chemistry MCQ"), master it, and return to your main study flow.
Instead of piecing together fragmented YouTube videos, searching for random practice questions, and managing your own revision schedules, The Rasayanam gives you an all-in-one structured learning system:
Complete study workflow: Structured video lectures paired directly with topic-wise notes, practice MCQs, and authentic PYQs.
No more fragmented learning: Every topic across Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry is covered in depth so you never have to hop between channels.
Built-in test series & revision: Automated revision cycles and mock tests built straight into your batch schedule.
Stop guessing your roadmap, get guided, end-to-end preparation with The Rasayanam and secure your UP PGT selection.
The Rasayanam, MadChem Classes, CY Competition Classes, Chemophilic Academy, and TCS Academy all offer genuinely useful UP PGT Chemistry content, but no single channel is "best" for every student. What matters is syllabus relevance, conceptual clarity, PYQ coverage, MCQ practice, and consistency, not subscriber count.
Watching lectures isn't preparation by itself. The preparation happens when you can close the video and solve the same type of question independently, under exam conditions. Pick one primary channel, work through it properly, practice PYQs and MCQs consistently, and revise on a schedule. For structured UP PGT Chemistry classes, topic-wise tests, and PYQ practice built specifically around this exam, you can also explore what's available at The Rasayanam.

You revise Coordination Chemistry for three hours, feel confident, move on to Chemical Kinetics, and a week later, half of what you studied has quietly disappeared. If this sounds familiar, you're not doing anything unusual.
Most UP PGT Chemistry aspirants hit this wall at some point, and the reason is rarely "I'm just bad at remembering things." It's almost always a mismatch between how you're studying and how memory for a subject like Chemistry actually works.
Let's break down the real causes and what to do about each one.
The biggest mistake when preparing for PGT Chemistry is confusing understanding something with actually knowing it. When you read a topic like Crystal Field Theory, it makes sense in the moment, so your brain tricks you into thinking, "I know this." But recognizing an answer in a book is very different from recalling it on your own during an exam months later.
Students who only highlight and re-read their notes usually perform worse than those who test themselves from memory. Re-reading trains recognition, but the exam tests recall.
Passive reading creates a false sense of confidence without building the strong memory pathways needed for exam day.
The Fix: After finishing a topic, close your book and write down everything you remember on a blank page. Then check your notes to see what you missed. This simple switch to active recall is the single best way to boost long-term retention in Chemistry.
The PGT exam does not keep subjects completely separate. A single question might link Inorganic Chemistry (like crystal field theory) with Physical Chemistry (like bonding or magnetic properties). If you study each branch on its own, your brain fails to build the connections needed to remember the material.
Isolated facts fade fast. Connected facts, where one idea reminds you of three others, are much harder to forget.
The Fix: After finishing a topic, ask yourself: "Where else have I seen this idea?" For example, after learning hybridization in Inorganic Chemistry, link it back to bond angles in Organic Chemistry (like in benzene).
Most students study Organic Chemistry in July, feel good about it, move to Physical Chemistry in August, and do not look at Organic Chemistry again until right before the exam. By then, they have forgotten most of it and have to relearn everything under stress.
Memory fades quickly if you do not review what you learn. Toppers retain more simply because they schedule regular revisions.
The Fix: Revise using a simple timeline:
1 day after studying
3 days later
10 days later
30 days later Track these dates in a notebook. Forcing your brain to recall information at spaced intervals keeps it fresh.
Reading theory is passive; solving Previous Year Questions (PYQs) forces your brain to retrieve and apply what you learned. PGT questions often test how you apply a concept rather than asking for direct definitions.
The Fix: Start solving PYQs as soon as you finish a topic, not at the very end of your preparation. Use them as a daily learning tool.
Watching a lecture on video feels productive, but listening alone creates weak memories. This is especially true for math-heavy topics like Thermodynamics or Electrochemistry, where watching someone solve a problem is very different from solving it yourself.
The Fix: For every hour you spend watching a class or reading, spend 30–40 minutes doing:
Solve problems on your own.
Write summaries from memory.
Teach the concept out loud to an imaginary student.
Your brain converts short-term memories into long-term retention while you sleep. Cutting sleep to study more actually harms your memory and leads to lower retention per hour spent.
The Fix:
Get 6 to 7 hours of sleep every night.
Study in focused 45–50 minute blocks, taking short breaks in between to keep your mind fresh.
Forgetting what you study for UP PGT Chemistry is rarely a matter of hard work—most students put in long hours. It is simply a matter of strategy.
Passive reading, studying topics in isolation, skipping spaced revision, and avoiding PYQs will hurt your retention, no matter how many hours you sit at your desk. Fixing these common mistakes will dramatically improve how much information you actually remember on exam day using the exact same amount of study time.

.avif&w=1920&q=75)
The UP PGT Chemistry 2022 paper is a different animal from the TGT Science paper we broke down earlier. Where TGT Science splits its 125 questions between Physics and Chemistry at a foundation level, this is a 125-question, Chemistry-only paper written at postgraduate depth.
Quantum chemistry, statistical thermodynamics, coordination chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry all show up here alongside the usual organic and physical chemistry staples. Our faculty went through it question by question to map out exactly where the difficulty sits.
Bilingual (Hindi + English), all 125 questions, official format — available via The Rasayanam app.
Unlike the TGT paper, there's no subject-mixing here to worry about — every single question is Chemistry. What replaces that complexity is depth.
This paper draws comfortably from an M.Sc. syllabus, not just NCERT-plus.
Numerical questions expect real constants plugged into real formulas — NMR field strengths, mass defects, osmotic pressure.
Conceptual questions lean hard on the assertion-reason format, which separates rote learners from candidates who understand the mechanism behind the fact.
Going through all 125 questions, the paper splits almost evenly across the three core branches — no single branch dominates the way Chemistry did in the TGT Science paper.
A few questions we'd flag as genuinely postgraduate-level rather than routine recall:
A quantitative NMR question. Candidates had to calculate the magnetic field strength needed to observe the ¹⁹F resonance at 60 MHz, given the nuclear g-factor and nuclear magneton. Not a definition question — a direct application of the resonance condition equation, the kind of calculation you'd expect in an M.Sc. spectroscopy lab, not a school-level exam.
An applied colligative-properties question. How many grams of glucose per litre are needed to match blood's osmotic pressure for an IV injection? Dressed up as clinical chemistry, but really testing whether candidates can invert the van't Hoff equation correctly under exam pressure.
An assertion-reason question on actinide oxidation states. It pairs the observation that actinides show a wider range of oxidation states with the reasoning that their 5f, 6d, and 7s orbitals are of comparable energy. This rewards candidates who understand why actinide chemistry behaves differently from lanthanide chemistry, not just that it does.
A cluster of bioinorganic questions on hemoglobin, myoglobin, and methemoglobin. Candidates had to track the spin state and oxidation state of iron across oxy-, deoxy-, and met- forms — genuinely advanced content that blends inorganic coordination chemistry with physiology, tested more than once in this paper.
For a PGT-level paper, the gap between "knows the topic" and "can apply it under exam conditions" is wider than at TGT level. It tends to show up in a few specific ways:
Formula recall without derivation confidence. Questions like the NMR field-strength or mass-defect calculations aren't hard once you know the formula — but candidates who've only memorised the formula without practising the algebra under time pressure lose these marks routinely.
Assertion-reason questions dominate the conceptual half of this paper. Getting both statements right individually but misjudging whether the reason actually explains the assertion (rather than just being a true, unrelated statement) is the single most common way strong candidates drop marks on questions they technically "knew."
Bioinorganic and biochemistry content is often under-revised. Candidates preparing heavily from classical inorganic/organic texts sometimes treat hemoglobin, vitamins, and hormone chemistry as a low-priority afterthought — this paper treats it as a full, separately testable block.
Cross-branch integration. Several questions (the bioinorganic set, the drug-chemistry set) don't fit neatly into "pure" Physical, Inorganic, or Organic — they require connecting concepts across branches, exactly the kind of synthesis a postgraduate-level exam is designed to test.
Separate your score by branch, not by question number. Given how evenly split this paper is, a candidate weak in one branch can still post a mediocre overall score while being completely blind to where the actual gap is.
Flag every assertion-reason question separately and re-check why you got it right or wrong. This format punishes partial understanding more than any other question type in this paper.
Re-derive every numerical answer from scratch rather than just matching it to the answer key. If you can't reproduce the NMR field-strength or mass-defect calculation without looking, that's a revision gap, not a "silly mistake."
Treat bioinorganic/biochemistry as its own study block. Don't let it hide inside your Organic or Inorganic revision — the hemoglobin/vitamin/hormone questions in this paper show it's tested with real specificity.
File objections only with a standard reference. J.D. Lee for inorganic, Atkins or McQuarrie for physical/quantum, Morrison & Boyd or Clayden for organic, and Lehninger for the biochemistry-adjacent questions. Commissions reject unreferenced objections outright.
This paper confirmed what we've been telling our PGT Chemistry batches for a while now: at this level, the exam stops rewarding memorised facts and starts rewarding the ability to apply core principles — quantum mechanical reasoning, thermodynamic derivations, coordination chemistry theory — under time pressure.
The even three-way split across Physical, Inorganic, and Organic Chemistry (with Biochemistry woven through the last of these) means there's no branch you can afford to deprioritise.
Our faculty run a live, question-by-question discussion of every major Chemistry teaching exam paper, working through the reasoning behind each answer rather than just confirming the correct option.
Faculty: Dr. Avdhesh Sir (IIT BHU), Dr. Shailesh Sir (Founder — CSIR-NET/GATE/IIT-JAM qualified), Dr. Sudhakar Sir (IIT Bombay), Priyanka Ma'am, and N.K. Sir (former BARC/ONGC Scientist).
