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.

FAQ Regarding NEET 2025 Books
Following are the frequently asked questions regarding NEET 2025 books.
Q: Â It is possible to crack NEET exam without coaching?
I will not say, it is impossible. It is possible, but you have work very hard and must give your 200% effort to crack these competitive exams. In my opinion, it is better to take coaching for NEET exam. Coaching makes your exam preparation easier. Sometimes, if you get lots of doubt then you can get it cleared by your tutor who has got the subject knowledge.
Students get individual attention at coaching institutes and they focus on learning and development of students as per their requirement. Coaching centers also teach you a lot of tips, tricks and time management that help you to crack NEET exam. But, you have to be careful in choosing a right and resourceful coaching center, as there are many fraud coaching centers that works for money and not for delivering knowledge to the students.
Q: Â How should I prepare for the NEET?
Q: Â How many NEET preparation books are required to crack the test?
There is no specific number of NEET preparation books that students should refer to in order to crack the exam. Rather than focusing on the quantity, they should focus on the quality of preparation. In terms of numbers, NEET aspirants should refer to NCERT books and additionally at least one section-wise NEET preparation book for each section, followed by a complete preparation guide.
Apart from referring to the popular books, you should also take ample mock tests and solve previous years' question papers.
