Which Books are Good for NEET 2027 Preparation?

Many books are available in the market for the NEET 2027 exam preparation, but not all are reliable, as some books provide outdated information. Some of the best books for the NEET exam preparation are as follows:

Physics: NCERT for classes 11th & 12th, HC Verma Vol. 1 & 2: Fundamentals of Physics

Chemistry: NCERT books for classes 11th & 12th, OP Tondon: Organic Chemistry

Biology: NCERT books for classes 11th & 12th, Trueman’s objective biology for practice

Note: NCERT books are most important for the NEET exam, as 80% of the NEET biology question are fremed from the basics of NCERT books. It is also good for organic and inorganic chemistry, as some questions are directly asked from the NCERT books.
