RECOMMENDED BOOKS FOR 1ST MBBS

Deciding which textbook to buy is not an easy task. Choice of a textbook depends on
the individual and his or her aptitude. It is desirable, and would certainly be helpful if each
student has one textbook out of the recommended list of textbooks.
We suggest that you browse through, try each one out and take your time before you
decide which one you would like to buy.
Remember there is no ideal textbook, all share their imperfections and yet each one of
them has much to offer.
