Indian Chemical Society, Mumbai Branch, in association with HSNC University, Mumbai, Kishinchand
Chellaram College, Mumbai announces the 37thAptitude Test in Chemistry.
The Test is aimed at the undergraduate (and above) students in chemistry. However, there are no pre-
requisites of a degree or majoring in chemistry. The Test has the primary objective of providing an
opportunity for science students to evaluate themselves to help further their academic/professional career.
There is no restriction to age or higher qualification or repeat appearance (for improvement in performance).
Top merit holders will receive a medallion, cash award and a certificate, whereas other successful candidates
will get certificates, to be distributed at a special award function to be announced later.
The Head of the Chemistry Department of colleges is requested to encourage the students to register
for the Aptitude Test. The Test will comprise of 100 multiple choice questions, drawn from all the
branches of Chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic and physical). In addition, there will be a few
questions with emphasis on mathematics and physics. Four choices will be provided for each question
and the correct or the best possible answer is required to be chosen. All questions carry equal weightage.
Each correct answer will fetch three marks while one mark will be deducted for every wrong answer.
Hence guessing will be counterproductive and should be avoided. The duration of the test will be 2
hours. It is not expected that all the questions should be answered in the time allotted.
