hi tejas, you still have 5 months time and if you work smart, you can really score well easily,if you dont wanna go to coaching centre, get a dlp course from any good institute, i will tell you how to prepare
Physics and chemistry- physics is considered one of the toughest subject for medical aspirants,but very interesting. choose any good book of your convinience, there are plenty of good books as many mentioned already. read the concepts thoroughly,understand them cover to cover, if you have doubts, clear them then and there. solve atleast 300 to 500 questions per chapter, check ,analyse and rectify your mistakes. solve again. the more you solve the merrier.initially you wont be getting many correct answers, but as you keep on doing am sure you will see your score rising. solve previous question papers too
Biology- in neet around 300 marks are from ncert text book itself,thats how it was when i gave my exam, so u need to thorough ncert first and then read any good book of your choice and solve as many questions as you can, always stay calm , cool and confident,hope this helps good luck buddy
1) Coaching institutions give a sense of direction to your preparation, a time limit is set for every topic and you tend to maintain more discipline when it comes to your preparation. When you prepare on your own, you need to develop this sense of discipline and consistency on your own, which might be a little challenging.
2) Concepts is everything when it comes to NEET-UG (Well at least for physics, organic as well as physical chemistry). Mere mugging up concepts really doesn't help much. You need to ensure that you are thorough enough with your concepts so that you are able to tackle the questions in the final examination. Coaching institutions come to aid here since mentors can guide you through the process of learning and concept building.
3)Time management, an aspect where numerous students falter every year, only to regret not being able to make the most of their time. When institutions conduct examinations they're ensuring that you learn to apply concepts in questions in a limited amount of time. When you're preparing on your own, scrutinizing yourself to this levels can be a little challenging.
Consider these facts before you think of preparing on your own and then decide accordingly.
Method doesn't vary much but coaching people might have some advantages like interacting with other people and discussion they have on test papers but you also have a plus point that you surely will get more time for self study but if you utilise it wisely.
About the books : 1. NCERT of biology and chemistry.
2. For physics refer to the notes if you have or use HC verma for building concepts. Don't run away from solving big difficult numericals, initially it's hard but only getting well verse with the pattern followed in questions ,you will have hold on the subject .
3. MTG for both chemistry and biology is sufficient but if you solve whole of it.
4. Time management in examination is of huge importance but it doesn't comes easily. For that you have to solve NEET patterned question papers and then you will get an idea which subject you have to tackle first in exam and which in the last.
Solve as many as previously asked questions.
It's not difficult if you practice it smartly.
Good luck
Apart from them..you can go for standard textbooks of Physics like S.L.Arora , chemistry like O.P.Tandon and biology Rastogi..which are quite helpful to solve MCQs
The Dinesh MCQ books might also help you
Try making notes of important formulae, equation and facts in copies..they are really helpful before the examination...
And above all solve question papers without help in stipulated time..thats the key to cracking NEET via home based study
I would suggest you to go through well with NCERT books as it will help you to clear your concept. Here are some preparation tips you can follow:
Practice with previous year question papers
By Preparing NEET with the previous year question papers will help you to know about the level of the questions.
Know the Syllabus: You should be aware with the topics asked in NEET entrance exam.
Biology- Ecology and environment, Genetics, Life science Cell Biology, Morphology of plants and animals, Reproduction in plants and animals, Basics of Biotechnology, and anatomy
Physics– Fluid Mechanics. Electricity and Magnetism. Optics, Oscillations and Waves. Thermodynamics and Nuclear physics:
Chemistry– Organic Chemistry, Chemical Bonding, Organic Chemistry, Acids and Bases
Make your own notes: This is one of the best ways to improvise the memory skills. Make your own notes as it will help you at the time of revision.
Revision: It is very important after completing one chapter you should take a revision to make your preparation strong.
Good Luck!

Ncerts are mandatory to have, refer the rest of the books and find out which one suits you. I would advice you not to buy all the books but to refer them and see which one is better for you.
In the end it doesn't depend upon which book is better but how good can you understand the concepts
