While HC Verma is the best book for building a rock-solid conceptual foundation, most toppers recommend pairing it with a practice-heavy book like DC Pandey or Cengage for advanced-level numerical problems. It is essential for theory and basic-to-moderate problem-solving.
You should follow the sequence of your syllabus. Volume 1 covers Class 11 topics (Mechanics, Waves, and Optics), while Volume 2 covers Class 12 topics (Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, and Modern Physics).
The book itself provides answers to objective questions and short numerical answers at the end of each chapter, but it does not contain step-by-step worked solutions for all exercises. You can find detailed chapter-wise solutions on educational websites.
Focus heavily on the “Worked Out Examples” and the “Questions for Short Answer.” NEET often tests the conceptual clarity found in these sections. Don’t get bogged down by the most difficult “Exercises” in Volume 1 unless you have extra time.
The book is celebrated for its simplicity. It explains complex physical phenomena through everyday examples, making it easier for students to visualize concepts like friction, circular motion, and electric fields.
