hi sujay, let me tell you how i prepared. first of all i would like to say that, when i gave my neet around 310 marks out of 360 came from NCERT book straight, so what i would say is thorough the ncert text book first , cover to cover , page by page. know it like the back of your hand.now you can add another 20 marks or 30 marks extra to it if you use any good books available. there are many good books therelike trueman or dinesh or mtg, so it doesnt really matter. if you have enrolled in any coaching institute, use their materials as well. the remaining 30 is the tough part. it all depends on how well you understood your subject and how extensive you have read. so dont bother about the 30. stick to ncert , then solve mcqs and use your coaching material, this if done properly will shoot up your marks for sure. good luck buddy

If you are asking just for NEET then I'll recommend you to study biology from NCERT over and over but there are going to be some of the important topics like vitamins classes or fruits types that you need to prepare in detail so for that reference book like Trueman will be an excellent source.
-
Rest for MCQ use MTG publications or Arihant or anything else that you find better.
Truemen's biology is a good book. You can use it in addition ro ncert
But ncert is must
Other books you can use are :
For biology : dinesh , coaching books , mtg
Chemistry : abc , coaching books , op tandon
Physics: coaching books , hc verma , pradeep
All the very best
Hope it helps

Also, for the general knowledge subscribe magazines, they will be useful.

Most important for NEET/AIIMS is your NCERT books as these books include basic principles and concepts and provide accurate information.
BUT KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE TO CLEAR ENTRANCE YOU ARE NOT DOING PhD so dont go by all books mentioned here and there
KEEP NCERT + ONE REFERNCE BOOK + MAXIMUM MCQS PRACTICE = Medical SEAT Apart from this, you can add upon it by following books
Biology -
Truemans Biology Vol. 1 & 2
Objective Biology by Dinesh
Pradeep Publications Biology

NCERT is the best book to prepare for biology for NEET.
It is recommended that you should read biology throughly. Solve all the exercises which are given at the end of chapters. You can also refer NCERT exemplar.
Sometimes, you can get direct questions from NCERT books.
After, completing NCERT books you can go for Trueman's Biology Vol 1 and 2, Objective Biology by Dinesh, Pradeep Publication's Biology and GRB Bathla's Publication's for Biology.
Refer previous year questions as well to know the level of questions.
Good Luck!!
