What are the books that I should follow for the IIT JAM physics exam?
Buy Kailash Publications books....Best books i ever read..
There is a lot of stuff available in form of books and videos to learn from for JAM IIT . I recommend the following, apart from NCERT (that should be your starting point and consumed properly)
- Start with Youtube (all the following are available for free on YT)
- Khan academy videos for the topic you’re studying,
- follow up Crash Course for the same topic
- watch Walter Lewin Lecture videos (MIT freeware)
- you can also watch Yale lectures by Prof. Ramamurthy
- Read Halliday and Resnik, Fundamentals of Physics (for conceptual understanding and Numerical problems)
- Read Sears’ and Zemansky’s University Physics (for conceptual understanding in case you need to explore a topic beyond Resnick.
- H. C. Verma Concepts of Physics by for problem
Hi Shalini,
Schaum's Outlines series
Mathematical Methods for Physics & Engineering: Riley, Hobson & Bence
Quantum Mechanics - By Zetili / Griffith / Schaums Series
Quantum Mechanics - MC Jain
Classical Mechanics- Kepler or Berclays, and HJ Pain
