Best books to refer to for NEET Preparation
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) preparation is a very difficult task.
NEET is highly competitive. Don’t trust me? In 2023, close to 21 lac students appeared for the NEET exam. And, there are just 1 lac MBBS seats out of which only 50 thousand are government seats and subsidized. So umm, it’s really really competitive.
Now the key to a good NEET preparation are the books you are going to use for your two-year preparation. There are so many resources in the market now. It becomes very difficult to decide which book is going to be helpful.
This blog is curated to help you figure out the three types of resources you need- 2-Year Resources, Revision Resources, and Question Bank Resources.
These categories have been decided on to ensure that you use the right resources in the different stages of your preparation journey.
You will be as good as the resources you will use. And that DOES not mean that the resources have to be expensive. Continue reading to understand :

Physics Resources for NEET 2024
Ahh this subject is the nightmare for most of the NEET aspirants. So this has to be studied in-depth and can also be studied from a lot of resources. You must try different resources for it. If you don’t understand a specific topic from one resource, watch a video of a different teacher. Your physics skills will be as good as the teacher who teaches you. So choose your teachers wisely. Here are our suggestions :
Physicswallah Course Lectures and Books
I have been sir’s follower since his earliest days. I remember how hardworking he was and how much he used to work day and night to record those lectures. His original lectures are a goldmine. Go find them out on his YouTube channel. He is the best teacher of physics. So watch his lectures and make notes.
Also now, MR sir teaches physics for NEET. In 2023, all the 50 questions came from his notes only. Safe to say, he is a very good teacher who can compare up to Alakh sir in terms of teaching Physics. So join Physicswallah or MR sir and start your studies.

NEET Physics Kota
- Prashant sir is a hidden gem. He is a Physics maestro. He has been a physics teacher in Kota for more than 20 years now.
- He has so many good tips and tricks up his sleeves to teach you that you will be amazed at how easy it is to solve questions of JEE Mains level.
- If you study from him, be rest assured, you’re gonna make your peers very jealous and insecure. You’ll be so accurate and quick at reaching the answers, that even you will be surprised by your performance.
Physics Galaxy Kota
- Ashish sir is an expert on Physics. He is an expert on physics in general- be it NEET, JEE Mains, or JEE Advanced .
- He has the most insightful and researched advice waiting for you the moment your exams start to come close.
- He has mentored a lot of KOTA toppers in his career, so he knows what is required to be an All-India Topper. His videos are so well-researched. He explains everything so radically and scientifically that is impossible for you to not feel confident after following his advice.
- His lectures on physics are also so well done. He explains a topic by connecting them to real-life examples. If you don’t understand any topic in NEET, you should watch sir’s videos to get a different perspective on Physics concepts.

Chemistry Resources for NEET 2024
NCERT Chemistry Textbooks for Class 11 and 12
- These are your go-to books for NEET. These should be worshiped first and studied later. You can not miss out on ANY CHAPTER or even ANY LINE of NCERT. The entire NEET chemistry paper is made from Class 11th and Class 12th NCERT’s. All in all, there are 4 books in total for classes 11th and 12th
- Now the thing is for inorganic and organic, NCERT is the ONLY book you have to refer to. Only use other books for practicing questions or for revising.
- For physical chemistry, you can read other books and practice from them. However, you should read up the physical chemistry chapters from NCERT.
CAUTION: Don’t leave out on even a single chapter from the NCERTs. READ AND MEMORISE EVERY LINE. (especially for Inorganic and organic chemistry).
Physicswallah Course Lectures and Books
- I love love love these notes. And I love how well Pankaj sir teaches. He ensures his notes are concise but also has a lot of depth.
- I studied from Physicswallah and Pankaj sir during my NEET preparation. It was one of the best decisions I made. (Also everyone in this country knows of the greatness of the one-man army- ALAKH PANDAY SIR. What a man and what a legend.)
NEET Chemistry – BeWise Classes
- Sir is great. And the best part about his teaching is his notes.
- He is a Kota teacher with more than 12 + years of experience, so he knows what is important and what is not.
- I used his resources extensively. The moment I finished his notes, I could easily solve questions of JEE Mains.
- His organic chemistry notes are very comprehensive. So do try out his free lectures on Youtube and if you like his method of teaching you can even buy his courses.

Allen Textbook Resources
I did not study from Allen’s video lectures. Neither did I go to Kota to enrol in Allen. However, their chapter notes and booklets are very comprehensive and good for understanding. You can opt for their distance learning program which includes their books and test series. The books have all the chapter information similar to NCERT but also provide a lot of extra facts that they teach you in Kota. So find an online pdf and see whether you’d prefer it or not. decide for yourself.
Biology Resources for NEET 2024
NCERT Biology Textbooks for Class 11 and 12.
- These are non-negotiable for NEET aspirants, covering the entire NEET syllabus with diagrams and explanations. YOU CANNOT LEAVE EVEN ONE LINE. See the trend of recent years, every question comes directly from the lines or from between the lines. If you miss out on even one line, you miss out on 4 marks.
- It is the most important book for Biology. No other book is as important. You JUST need to read NCERT books for biology. Nothing else. Just reading NCERT can get you 360/360 in Biology.
Physicswallah Course Lectures and Books.
- I love Physciswallah and all that Alakh Panday sir stands for. Biology is the most important aspect of the NEEt exam. It takes up half of the total marks. 360 marks just for biology. So you have to ace it and have it at your fingertips.
- Now I believe that reading NCERT is more than enough but reading up more than just NCERT will help your cognitive skills a lot. You will perform better in mock tests and also have the confidence of knowing much more than your peers. And physics wallah notes are more than enough for that. You don’t need to read books like Campbell’s at all.
