Hey,

There are a lot of books available but you need to choose the one that you find comprehensible. Info in all books is nearly same, just arranged differently.

  • For Anatomy -
  1. BD Chaurasia - the pet book
  2. Grey's Anatomy - for PG level but you can still refer to it for all your doubts. Plus it has beautiful diagrams.
  3. Cunningham - for dissection.
  4. Histology - DiFiore’s is the standard book but still u can refer to other books like Inderbir’s, Krishna Garg’s (editor of BDC) and G P Pal.
  5. Embryology - Inderbir is comprehensible but Langman is standard book.
  6. Neuroanatomy - Vishram Singh or even Inderbir Singh would go.
  7. No particular book for radiology in 1st yr as u will only be taught the basics.
  • For Physiology -
  1. Ganong’s Review (Lange/Elsevier - USMLE books) - the standard one but loaded with info which u may not require in 1st professionals and sometimes hard to understand too.
  2. Guyton & Hall - the story book. Easier to understand and the one which builds our concepts.
  3. A K Jain - though very popular among students but u will find most of the professors saying - read it at ur own risk :P. It's the book from which u can know how to write in exams.
  4. Sembulingum - very good book. Somewhere between AK Jain & Guyton.
  5. For practicals - G K Pal, AK Jain, C. L Ghai
  • For Biochemistry -
  1. Dinesh Puri - somethings missing here but given in SK
  2. S K Gupta - somethings missing here but given in DP. So I would advice buy SK and refer to DP from library.
  3. DM Vasudevan - a great one from Indian author’s point of view.
  4. Harper - the standard book (Lange)
  5. For immunology - SK Gupta if you want to read Indian author. Kuby is the standard book.
  6. Lippincott - you need not read whole of it but refer for some topics like Diabetes mellitus, Obesity etc which are Long Ques topics.

Hope this helps.
