HI, 

You can solve D.C.Pandey after pradeep's fundamental physics. INfact you can solve any books for that matter, there is nothing like you have to refer these books. Just make sure you have a strong basics in the physics and you are in par with NCERT. This should do. DC Pandey is a good book. It all depends on your amount of preperation. If you want more of application based and more of problems , I suggest you have a look through with books by Nelkon and parker as well as I.E. IRDOV and later solve D.C.Pandey. it should help you . 

All the best. Any queries, leave us a message. :)
