NEET-Physics-Books

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

Using the above table as a reference, a candidate can prioritise the topics of greater importance and allocate time accordingly. Candidates must note that the NEET Physics syllabus weightage mentioned above is based on last year's exam. It may change this year. However, it will act as a reference for preparation for the NEET 2025 aspirants. 

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.
