newbie facing issues in understanding the documents

Question

I am a newbie to BLE and starting with nordic ble chip. I downloaded SDK 15.0.1, is there any proper document explaining SDK directory structure. Thanks

I think what you are looking for is an explanation of the different folders in the SDK and what their contents are. As far as I'm aware this does not exist (I've also tried looking for it when I started out). Below is a short explanation of the main folders. Note I'm also a beginner and this reflects what (I think) I've understood so far 
 Components : Code for the different peripherals on-board the Nordic IC's 
 Config : Configuration files for IC's 
 Documentation : Some license files, images, change history of the SDK & links to the infocenter documentation (as linked by Andreas) 
 Examples : All the examples in the SDK 
 External : Some software compatible with nRF chips made by external sources (e.g. RTOS, file system) 
 External_tools : Tools to ease development (only cmsis in 15.0.0, used by some IDE's to modify sdk_config.h easily) 
 Integration : Mostly legacy drivers 
 Modules : Driver files for on-board peripherals 
 The examples incorporate the solution and hex-file for each example. The solutions link to the other folders to get the used modules/components/etc. Any documentation on how to use the drivers and develop is in the infocenter. 
 I hope this can help you further a bit.
