NEET Physics section can be tricky for a lot of aspirants. The technicalities and concepts are very important when it comes to this section of NEET 2025. Often, candidates who wish to pursue a Medicine course are well-versed in Biology and Chemistry, but not all are comfortable with Physics. The NEET 2025 exam will be conducted tentatively in the first week of May 2025. NTA will release the notification and the NEET 2025 application form in March.

With less than a year left before the exam, it is time to choose the right books for NEET preparation, which play an important role. The NEET exam pattern or structure is likely to be the same as last year. Physics subject is divided into two sections. Section A will carry 35 questions and Section B will carry 15 questions, out of which 10 questions have to be attempted. Hence, the Biology section carries the highest weightage. The key to scoring good marks in any subject is choosing the right study material at each step of preparation. Candidates preparing for NEET Physics are advised to begin their preparation with NCERT books and the question papers of previous years. Once they are thorough with these, they can refer to the other books for NEET 2025 preparation

Top NEET Physics Preparation Books

Experts and toppers suggest starting NEET preparation with NCERT books. They are easier to understand and will help build a strong foundation for preparation.

Q:   Which are the best NEET preparation books for Physics, Chemistry and Biology?
A:
Some of the popular books for NEET preparation are as: For Biology section, the following books are widely referred to: Truemans Biology Vol. 1 & 2 Objective Biology by Dinesh Pradeep Publications Biology Prakash Objective Biology A C Dutta for Botany (Oxford Publication) GR Bathla Publications for Biology (Theory & Objective) For Physics following are the best books for NEET preparation: H C Verma for Physics NCERT Physics CBSE PMT by Anil Aggarwal (Set of 3 Volumes) NCERT- Physics Part 1 & 2 Objective Physics for Medical Entrances Examination (Volume 1 and Volume 2) For Chemistry refer to the books given below: Modern ABC of Chemistry for Class 11th & 12th (Vol. 1 & 2) Physical Chemistry by O P Tandon Arihant Organic Chemistry Dinesh Chemistry Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J. D. Lee for Inorganic Chemistry Objective NCERT at your fingertips Chemistry by MTG.
Q:   Which books are really good for the preparation of NEET other than NCERT?
A:
The NCERT books help you in clearing your doubts regarding the concepts. Conceptual clarity is really important both for NEET and JEE exams. Other than that, you can refer to Arihant and MTG books. They have a good approach in the practice exercises and are all to the level of NEET only. They can help you a lot. Then in these books, you can refer to the previous years' questions and so you can get an idea of the questions and the type of questions that are repeated. Practice more and try to solve many questions in time. That will help you to get good marks which will eventually lead you to a good college through the NEET exam. All the best!
Q:   Which are the books to prepare for NEET?
A:
Among all the books of NEET in the world, first, go for the NCERT books. You must complete all the NCERT books first before moving to other reference books available in the market. After completing the NCERT books, you can go for the following books to boost up your practice and concepts: 1.Dinesh's Objective books 2.Trueman's Biology 3.MTG's Fingertips 4.HC Verma 5.R.D.Sharma All the best!
  1. NCERT Textbook for Class 11 Physics

  2. NCERT Exemplar Problems for Class 11 Physics  

  3. NCERT Textbook for Class 12 Physics

  4. NCERT Exemplar Problems and Solutions for Class 12 Physics

To excel in Physics, the candidate must solve the various numerical-based questions of different difficulty levels.

How to Prepare for NEET Physics

Candidates have to follow the steps given below to prepare for the NEET 2025 Physics section. 

  • Know the NEET Physics syllabus thoroughly: The first and foremost step is to know the NEET Physics syllabus in detail. You must check the latest NEET syllabus to know what to omit and what to study. 
  • Identify your strengths and weaknesses: Once you know the syllabus, identify the topics in which you are strong and weak. In the initial stages, spend more time on the weak areas to prepare those properly. Gather conceptual clarity to be able to solve any question types. After completing the topics, start practicing questions from those areas to be more thorough with the applications. 
  • Get the right books: After completing the syllabus and the NCERT book, you can collect the best books for NEET Physics and study from those. These books will provide you further knowledge and practice materials on NEET Physics chapters. However, ensure you collect the latest edition with the NEET revised syllabus.
  • Take regular mock tests and solve previous years' question papers: You should regularly practice the NEET Physics questions and take sectional mock tests. Also, regular solving of previous years' question papers will give you exposure to different types of NEET Physics questions.
