PUBDET

Preparation tips for the PUBDET: Get the syllabus. Usually, the seniors are very helpful in this regard. Collect the last 5 years' question papers. Study the theory portion from Resnick-Halliday-Walker/ Sears-Zemansky, if you have used them for your IIT preparation. Otherwise, any standard textbook for Plus Two would suffice. However, familiarity with the two classics I just mentioned would help you once your course commences.

For problems, H. C. Verma is MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. You don't need Irodov. Again. Stick to basics and don't try to digest H. C. Verma, if you haven't used it in the last 2 years, you won't be able to. But do a thorough revision of all the problems you had marked important for your HS/ISC/CBSE 12 exam. Try to solve the papers within the stipulated time. Regards.
