For Chemistry which books should be used iat ? Seniors pls help 😭😭

I'm enrolled in an Aakash NEET 2027 dropper batch, but my long-term goal is to prepare primarily for IAT 2027 while keeping NEET as a strong backup option.

My main study system is:

  • Stay synchronized with coaching classes.
  • Complete Aakash modules and homework.
  • Study NCERT thoroughly.
  • Solve PYQs and take tests seriously.

For additional understanding and scientific curiosity, I'm planning to use:

  • Campbell Biology for Biology.
  • Amit Gupta's Physics books for conceptual understanding.
  • SBT for advanced problem-solving after a chapter is mostly completed.

Now I'm trying to build a similar setup for Chemistry.

Since I already have Aakash modules and NCERT, which chemistry books would genuinely add value for:

  1. Physical Chemistry (concepts + problem solving)
  2. Organic Chemistry (concepts + problem solving)
  3. Inorganic Chemistry (concepts + problem solving)

I am not looking for a huge list of resources. I want a minimal-resource approach that complements Aakash material rather than replacing it.

I already own Modern ABC Chemistry. Should I continue using Modern ABC for Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry, or would some other book provide significantly more value for an IAT-focused student?

I enjoy understanding science deeply and don't want resources that are purely exam-oriented. My aim is to build strong conceptual understanding while remaining aligned with my coaching schedule.

How would you recommend integrating these chemistry resources into a routine alongside coaching, modules, NCERT, PYQs, and tests without creating resource overload?
