i agree with shreyas that hcv is a good book....

but sorry dude i don't agree that dc pandey is not that good

look

i have done both books and wat i observed is that once your concepts are "clear",then rarely u will face problem in HCV.........the concepts are explained exceptionally well  in hcv but according to me they are explained in a better way in DCPANDEY

reading hcv would be better if u are reading it for learning physics.....but to be frank  thats not the case with most of us.......we are learning physics to crack jee and nothing else

hcv does explains concepts in fluent way.....but jee aspirants also need to learn application of these concepts in shortest possible time.........they need to learn the shortcuts,............they not only need to learn where a concept is applied but also where its application can go wrong

u not only need to know the concepts but also its loopholes where u might commit mistakes

and here DC PANDEY has an edge

and i would seriously say that in lot of aspects i have found dcpandey more useful

it has explained theory and concepts in a very practical way

along with it the shortcuts and several tricks have been provided which makes u solve problem in no time

for example,

in calculation of resistance between 2 points...there are around 4 or 5 pages in which he has explained how u can solve problem by applying various symmetries .........it was awesome as compared to only application of kirchoff law in hcv

to crack jee,,,,u need to learn a sort of "UNCONVENTIONAL PHYSICS" which is not provided by hcv but by dcp

and also questions are really good

NO OFFENSE TO ANY HCV LOVER.........

but i found dcp a very good and complete book

i would recommend dcp for any jee aspirant
