Importance of NCERT for NEET/AIIMS

Hi there!!!

For all the NEET/AIIMS aspirants out there, this article is about the importance of NCERT books in your preparation.

Before going to the actual matter, I am writing this article because a lot of my juniors and friends have neglected NCERT textbooks claiming that they are too boring and have insufficient matter. I just want to stress that NCERT has sufficient matter in it. Start your preparation with the NCERT textbook. NCERT is the gold standard for the entrance examinations. Read it, understand it, and above all love it. These textbooks are so elegantly written that u won't feel any burden while going through them. in my view reading other books without going through NCERT is like attempting to write an essay without Alphabet. Let me make you understand subject wise 

Biology-

Two textbooks.. learn them perfectly, you will score a wow kinda score in NEET and your AIIMS score will be 58/60(approx). I guess this emphasizes the importance of NCERT textbook for biology. whatever the reference you use.. read it after completing NCERT textbook. under no circumstance a WORD, I repeat a WORD must be left without reading. Reference books provide a lot a unnecessary information, so read them with caution.

Chemistry-

The basics of this subject are given in the easiest way possible in the textbook. Learn every formula. practice every equation and mechanism. Inorganic questions in NEET are from NCERT only. 

Physics -

I bet that half of the students reading this never thought of opening NCERT textbook for this subject. But believe me, this book is the bible for NEET and AIIMS . Most of us don't even care about the textbook and focus on problems. it is like trying to build Burj Khalifa without foundation. for example: when I ask you what is coefficient of viscosity, most of you will say it is a force acting between fluid layers when velocity gradient is one.. blah blah.. but the actual definition of it is given in NCERT Textbook. Try finding it out. the intext questions(examples) are of much higher level than ur average NEET question. and the questions in additional exercise section are brainstormers  .. try them, then u will understand the level of questions. reading textbook for this subject makes it very easy to solve the problems. If your aim is getting into AIIMS .. then it is absolutely essential that you read and understand it.

On a finishing note, do read NCERT, it may be difficult in the beginning, but as you read daily, you will fall in love with this book. don't judge a book by the number of pages it has. NCERT books are small when compared to reference books, but every word of NCERT is important including the summary. I have seen MCQ's from the summary. I will chalk out the prefect strategy to ace in ur entrance examinations in my next article. If you have any doubts pls be free to ask in comments section.

Thanks You!!!
