Hi Saksham Jangid

Having said that, NCERT books are very important for preparation of the exam in general and for clearing out the theoretical concepts in particular. However, NCERT books needs to be substantiated by practice books. One should start with NCERT books and must be followed by rigorous practice through reference books.

In conclusion I will say NCERT covers up majority of examination but if you are thorough with NCERT (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) books of 11th and 12 standards and solve previous year questions papers along with practice from reference books; your maximum preparation is done and you are good to go.

 

All the best

Dear Saksham
It's not like they are enough but we are not confident to say that if you'll practise those you can crack JEE. 
Try to solve some model papers in online.  So that you'll get some glance on it.
Comment here, if you want more information.
We are happy to help you.
All the best .

Hello Saksham,

The best books you can refer to are the NCERT,


For biology, refer the following.

1) Trueman's Biology vol 1 and vol 2

2) Dinesh- Objective biology

3) Pradeep publication Biology

4) GRB'S Publication Biology.



For Physics refer to he following books.

1) H.C.Verma - Concepts of Physics.

2) D.C Pandey - Objective Physics.

3) Fundamentals of physics by Walker

4) Problems in Physics by I.E.Irodov


For chemistry you can refer the following books

1) O.P Tandon - Physical Chemistry

2) Morrison and Boyd - Organic Chemistry

3) Modern ABC's of chemistry

4) J.D.Lee Inorganic chemistry

5) Dinesh


Ncerts are mandatory to have, refer the rest of the books and find out which one suits you. I would advice you not to buy all the books but to refer them and see which one is better for you.


In the end it doesn't depend upon which book is better but how good can you understand the concepts


Also, for the general knowledge subscribe magazines, they will be useful.


Hope this helps.


Goodluck!

Hii Saksham, I will tell u that NCERT is more than enough to score high marks in biology, as almost all the questions of biology are directly from the text book.But in case of physics and chemstry u will have to refer guides and solve as many questions  as u can....this wil help u to get familiarise with the pattern of questions...hope this helps....all the best!!

From personal experience, yes. Since the NEET syllabus is prescribed by CBSE, the NCERT textbooks are good enough to get a respectable score of around 400 to 500. For extra info you csn refer to a guide but most importantly just practise questions as much as possible.

This is like asking the question "Is Arjun Enough to win Mahabharat?"Try to corelate.
NCERT books are very important for preparation of the exam in general and for clearing out the theoretical concepts in particular. You should start with NCERT books and must be followed by rigorous practice through reference books.NEET authority follows NCERT books for designing of exam, there are many questions which are either directly fetched from these books or follow a similar pattern. Numerical based questions are also influenced by the NCERT syllabus. 70-75% of the questions come from the NCERT books.
Since NEET is an objective type paper, students need to practice MCQs. So side books are a must to supplement NEET.
These are some objective books other than NCERT that you should refer to prepare for NEET:
Biology:
Objective Biology by Dinesh, AIIMS Explorer by MTG publication, Truemans Objective Biology,NCERT BIOLOGY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS by MTG
Physics:
Physics for Medical Entrance Examinations by D.C Pandey (Arihant Publications)
Chemistry:
Objective Chemistry (Volume 1 and 2) by Arihant publications
Again  you must solve lots of previous year AIPMT/NEET sample papers to get a complete idea of pattern, type and the way questions are framed in NEET.
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

Objective Biology by Dinesh
Pradeep Publications Biology

Physics -
Concept of physics by H C Verma
Fundamental of Physic by Pradeep
Objective physics by DC Pandey

Chemistry -
Arihant Organic Chemistry
Dinesh Chemistry Inorganic
Physical Chemistry by O P Tandon
Objective NCERT at your fingertips Chemistry by MTG

Hope this helps!....BEST OF LUCK
