well, for first year, satyanarayan is a kinda must have.
harper....if u r very much passionate abt biochem.... theres no pon in reading harper if you just wanna read it for the sake of reading.
if u wanna read harper, read it frm the beginning of your course.
for pg cet.... lippincot is the name. easy 2 understand wid loads of diagrams n tables.
i wud recommend tat u read haraper n lippincot type of books, if the subject realy fascinates u. satyanarayan is a really good book n it wud even help u in pg cet.
dont look down on satyanrayan, its the saviour for many. n it is as good as many other indian books.
i must warn u, in the begining even if u think u like biochem frm the bottom of ur heart, its the most lightly taken subject by many.

to be more precise harper n liipincot take time... which is scarse in first year... so choose ur bibles properly!!!

For first year, i think Satyanarayan is the best...
there s nt much load of it...besides u have other big subjects of Anatomy and Physiology ... concentrate on them more...
For PG exam, i think lippincot is the best....

As far as the MCQs are concerned,I have spoken to some doctors from Tata Hosp.[my parents work there],they say that to really crack an entrance exam u need to be pit-pat with ur textbooks first.Solving MCQs from first year might take u offtrack or even spoil ur concepts[no MCQ book is perfect in giving answers].
What i'm trying to say is u can't learn new things from ur MCQs,u have to learn them through textbooks.

Enjoy reading,that's most important.

Hi
In continuation with ur above post, when do you think is the best time to get started with MCQs ? I mean, if we just concentrate on the bibles in first year, will that do ? Wont that put us on an offtrack wrt MCQS ?
Please advise.

hi satayanaryana is best but metabolism r must to be read from harper dont do mcq's from first year it may mislead and u dont have much time in first yeay to do

Hi aryarajendran,I'm a first yr ok so i don't know the right time to solve MCQs.I merely posted what the docs told me.....

I intend to solve MCQs just for clearing concepts,atleast in first yr.Not at all in bulk and surely not from PG books like Salgunan and so on..........

I want to solve from the same author I'm reading.For example,Guyton review,Lipincott MCQs,Ganong review,only after thorough reading......just to enjoy whatever I learnt and add a clinical flavour to it

acc to me RANE and SHINDE of jaypee publications is best so far no doubt it is very lengthy and a big book but material in it is available nowhere and biochem is an imp subject for pg so one should definitely go for it

go for chatterjee n shinde it is far better than satyanarayan.

if u see it u will not like other books.
