Although students might have their study materials sorted, however here just a heads up -
- For Physics refer to H.C. Verma Concepts of Physics.
- For Chemistry Line-by-line reading of NCERT Class 11 & 12 for Inorganic and Organic sections is a must
- For Mathematics there is nothing better than R.D. Sharma.
