Nature of Chapter:

1. Basic Indefinite Integration is very important to learn this Chapter

2. Just Learning the properties will not suffice at all. It’s about how to use
them, when to use which property.
3. Normally little tougher questions are asked from this chapter in last few
Years. So you got to practice pyqs to take a good idea of this Chapter.
4. This chapter is not just about Properties.
