The Best Physics Books for AIIMS and JEE Preparation: A Comprehensive Guide

Choosing the right books for your preparation can significantly impact your success in competitive exams. Whether you're preparing for the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) or the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), selecting the appropriate resources is crucial.

In this article, we will discuss the suitability of Cengage Physics by B.M. Sharma for AIIMS and explore alternative textbooks that better cater to your needs for both AIIMS and JEE preparation. Additionally, we will provide practical tips and recommended books to enhance your preparation.

Is Cengage Physics by B.M. Sharma Sufficient for AIIMS?

It is essential to highlight that Cengage Physics by B.M. Sharma is more than sufficient but not the best choice for AIIMS. This book is primarily designed for the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). Its depth and scope may be slightly more extensive compared to what is typically required for AIIMS.

Why Cengage Physics May Not Be Ideal for AIIMS

AIIMS emphasizes a different set of skills and knowledge compared to JEE. While Cengage Physics covers a broad range of topics with detailed explanations, it might be too exhaustive for the AIIMS exam, which focuses more on foundational concepts and application-based problems.

Our Recommended Books for Physics

Basics and Concepts

To build a strong foundation in physics, we recommend starting with SL Arora for fundamentals and HC Verma for in-depth problem-solving. After mastering these basics, you can directly practice with previous year questions. However, for NEET preparation, it is essential to skip some advanced questions from HC Verma as they are tailored more towards engineering aspirants.

Practice and Mastery

Once you have a solid grasp of the fundamental concepts, the next step is to practice. We recommend MTG Books, which are best for NEET due to their comprehensive solutions and accurate answers. MTG offers a range of books such as:

These books provide ample previous year questions, which are crucial for practice and understanding the exam pattern.

If you have extra time, you can also practice IIT JEE Main questions from Arihant 40 Years. Repeated quality questions will help you immensely in boosting your problem-solving skills.

Conclusion and Additional Tips

While there is no need to do additional books beyond the ones mentioned, it is essential to feel confident in your understanding and skills. Regular practice is key, especially in solving previous year questions multiple times. Additionally, discussing and solving others' doubts can enhance your problem-solving skills further.

Positive Mindset and Exam Tips

Staying positive and maintaining a focused mind is crucial during exam preparation. I recommend practicing Sudarshan Kriya from the Art of Living for mental clarity and focus. An excellent resource for further exam tips is my video "Exam Tips" on our YouTube channel, Satnara IIT AIIMS Academy.
