Anatomy
- Vishram Singh for General and Regional Anatomy

- Inderbir Singh for neuroanatomy
- Defoire’s for Histology
- Additionally considering going through Student Grays for regional as well as Snells for neuroanatomy
Physiology
- Guyton
- Ak Jain
- Linda Constanzo
Biochemistry
- Lippincott
- Satyanarayan
- The physiology department provides their own book for practicals.
Additionally, you can refer to the notes you made while attending lectures.
