NEET books play an important role during the preparation phase. The NEET preparation books students choose will determine whether they will succeed in their attempt or not. The best books for NEET preparation can be divided into three categories, NCERT books, reference books and question banks. Together these are considered the best books for NEET preparation 2025, which can ensure success, and thus, candidates preparing for NEET are advised to refer to these NEET 2025 books accordingly. However, beginners must stick to the NCERT books for NEET 2025 and only after they are thorough with those, should they start a reference book. On this page, we have enlisted the books which one must refer to while preparing for NEET 2025.
NEET 2025 Pattern | NEET 2025 Preparation |
Since the NEET syllabus is divided into three subjects, the NEET 2025 books are also categorised accordingly. The NEET syllabus includes topics from Class 11 and Class 12. Hence, NCERT books and school books (of other state boards) also play an important role, but depending only on school books or reference books for NEET 2025 is not sufficient. The NEET toppers of past years vouched for the importance of the NCERT books for NEET 2025 and have stated that they did not refer to other books for NEET preparation except their coaching institute study materials. However, referring to a few more NEET preparation books would not harm anyone who aspires to leave no stone unturned for their NEET 2025 preparation. Read the complete article to know the best books for NEET preparation 2025 suggested by NEET experts and toppers for definite success.
