How to use HC Verma Concepts of Physics for JEE Mains and Advanced

Many people rightfully believe that physics is a subject where you need well developed concepts, and for this purpose people advise to refer to a variety of books, some go for NCERT, some suggest books like SL Arora, or Resnick Halliday Let me break down why I feel HC Verma is one of the best theory books you can read from a JEE point of view.

HC Verma Concepts of Physics is Concise

HC Verma concept of physics is a JEE reference book which does not take up too much of your time to go through, it will not be a huge hassle to finish reading up a long chapter because it also has only 20-30 pages of theory at most.

Clear explanations

The well written theory with diagrams and explanations, make the complex theories of physics very easy and systematic to understand

Well Structured Exercise section

The exercise section of HC Verma is very popular for its linear progress, the level of questions get better and better as you go further into the exercise, and the last 3 or 4 questions are properly challenigng, that of JEE Advanced level, so anyone who is trying to build up their physics from the ground level to mastery, HC Verma is a good stepping stone

Cons of HC Verma

• It's not enough to take you to JEE Advanced level, for that you will have to refer to our other blog Books I used to get under 1000 AIR in JEE Advanced

• The solved examples are of varied levels, not rising in a structured manner

• Misses out on many parts of JEE Advanced theory, which you then need to learn from coaching or other reference books

So in summary, HC Verma is a great book for beginners, but if you are low on time and already through a major part of class 11, then go directly to books like cengage, if you are in 9th or 10th and trying to build a foundation, then studying HC Verma is an amazing option, it'll stimulate your mind and help you truly unlock your true potential.
