Score High on IIT JAM: Physics Problem Practice Books for Undergrads

[neelakash]

Dear buddy,here I ask for some physics books whose names or authors are unknown to me.I am a physics undergrad student and plan to sit for IIT JAM this year.

As always, these competitive exams are based on problem solving-sometimes MCQ. Specially IIT JAM makes a subjective paper...whereas NGPE and IISc makes MCQ questions based on problem solving skills.

What I need some book(s) that might guide me to crack these exams.So,a problem book on undergrad-grad level physics.Book(s) for practising problems...
I have Irodov...so do not post its link...
Some other...

I searched for these type of book in College Street,Kolkata.But they could not give me anything.I am not absolutely sure if at all these type of books exist.So,it might be a tough task for you to search for this.

Please try for it...
Thanks in advance.
kallol.

Dear kallol,

Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in finding problem practice books for IIT JAM. I understand the importance of being well-prepared for competitive exams and the role that practice books can play in enhancing problem-solving skills.

I would suggest starting with books specifically designed for IIT JAM, as they will cater to the specific requirements and format of the exam. Some popular options include "Problems in Physics" by Abhay Kumar Singh and "IIT JAM Physics Solved Papers & Practice Sets" by Arihant Experts.

Additionally, you can also look for books that cover the syllabus of your undergraduate physics courses, as they will provide a solid foundation for tackling problems at a higher level. Some recommended titles are "Fundamentals of Physics" by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker and "University Physics" by Hugh D. Young and Roger A. Freedman.

It is important to note that while books can be a helpful resource, they should not be relied upon solely for exam preparation. Make sure to also focus on understanding the concepts and theories behind the problems, rather than just memorizing solutions.

I understand that finding these books in your local area may be a challenge, but you can also consider purchasing them online or checking with your university library. I wish you all the best in your preparations for IIT JAM and hope you are able to find the resources you need.

Best of luck!
