Making your own notes is always helpful and I would advise you to maintain a regular diary on notebook in which you jot down the cycles and tables of the aforesaid topics especially the ones of microbiology and biotechnology as well as animal physiology because these are conceptual scoring and high yield
Hello Sidharth,
I wouldn't say that NCERT will help you to score 100% but it will surely help with 50-60% of questions.
Around 60% of questions are always asked from NCERT.
NCERT would be a good start as it helps you to understand anything from the very basics an that's very important than just mugging things up.
So YES, I would suggest you to start from NCERT and then slowly move to some other books.
I would also suggest to solve a lot of mock tests as they help in understanding the question difficulty and the types of questions asked in NEET.
I would also suggest you to vsisit the below link to get a indepth idea of the weighatges to each chapters in detailed manner.
