Top NEET Physics Preparation Books

To develop strong concepts, books such as Concepts Of Physics by H.C. Verma are in extreme demand. The concepts are presented in a very simple and clear-cut explanation. To develop strong practice problems, one can refer to books such as DC Pandey’s Physics for NEET. Experts and toppers suggest starting NEET preparation with NCERT books. They are easier to understand and will help build a strong foundation for preparation.

  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. Also, during the initial stages of preparation, a book with solved questions proves beneficial. This is where the NCERT Exemplar books come in handy. A combination of the above books and the question papers of previous years will help clear the basics and indeed build a strong foundation.

After completing the basics from the NCERT books, candidates can start solving mock tests and practice papers. This will take their preparation to the next level. Aspirants can then refer to the following books for NEET Physics.

  1. Concepts of Physics by H C Verma (Part 1 and 2)

  2. Understanding Physics

    • Mechanics Volume 1 and 2

    • Electricity and Magnetism

    • Optics and Modern Physics

Q:   What was the ratio of questions asked from Class 11 and Class 12 syllabi in the NEET exam?
A: 
There is no specific or defined ratio of Class 11 and Class in which questions are set from the NEET syllabus. It varies from year to year. Based on the previous year's and this year's NEET question paper analysis, it has been observed that the ratio of the Class 12 syllabus is higher than that of the Class 11 syllabus. Here we present the subject-wise ratio of Class 11 and Class 12 NEET syllabi based on last year's analysis. Physics Class 11 - 40% Class 12 - 60% Chemistry: Class 11 - 46% Class 12 - 54% Biology: Class 11 - 53% Class 12 - 47%. The ratio may vary next year.

How to Prepare for NEET Physics

Candidates have to follow the steps given below to prepare for the NEET 2026 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.
