Both are good. It depends upon oneโ€™s personal preferences too. For eg, I prefer reading rather than listening to long videos.

I will prefer lecture videos help me cut down times.

Books give depth, videos give clarity โ€” best is to use both smartly.

books,
if we can imagine well.

Lecture videos are great for quick understanding, visual explanations, and saving time. They help grasp complex concepts easily and keep you engaged.

Books provide detailed, in-depth knowledge and are essential for thorough exam preparation and reference.

Ideally, use videos to build a foundation and clarify tough topics, then reinforce with books for depth and completeness. Combining both can maximize your learning and help you cover the vast syllabus effectively

It varies on personal interest.
Some like to read books and grasp the knowledge.
Some people feel inpatient to read vast pages, for them lecture videos are good.
Some will understood about the topics through visuals.
Some read the topics and try themselves understood about each line.
