Hello Raghvendra,
I appreciate your confidence to get full out of full marks in both the exams. But let me tell you, there is no book, learning which you will get 100% marks in both the exams. If there had been any book, you would have seen more than fifty percent aspirants, getting 360/360 in main. There would have been no coaching centers and everybody would have been just cramming the books.
For getting the highest possible marks, what is required is the concept building ability, and not cramming. You will have to practice as much as you can and develop new concepts yourselves.
Now coming to the books, I would divide the books into two sections. For the first Section, this material will be useful for securing marks, and going through which you can get around 60 percent marks in both the exams. Whereas for the second section, the books are those, that will help you build your concept, and if completed properly will fetch you maximum marks. Preparing from these books, will even help in your graduation as well as throughout life.
Section 1:
Physics: NCERT Physics for class 11th and 12, H.C. Verma, previous year papers, any good coaching institute course material for the respective subject.
Chemistry: NCERT Chemistry for class 11th and 12th, Chemistry made simple J.D. Lee, Arihant, Chemistry for JEE by O.P. Tandon, and New Chemistry by R.C Mukherjee, any good coaching institute course material for Chemistry.
Mathematics: NCERT Mathematics, School textbook, R.D. Sharma, any good coaching institute course material for Mathematics.
I would suggest you subscribe to the Distance learning program or arrange the course material form any senior. Please include the past year (37 years paper) for having good practice. Most of the concepts are repeated so, having a good hold over the concepts in past year papers will help you get good marks.
Section 2:
kindly go for the authors(foreign), as their books are much more preferred:
Physics: I.E. Irodov, H.C. Verma, Resnick Halliday, D.C. Pandey, and Tata Mcgraw Hill.
Chemistry: J.D. LEE, O.P.Tandon, P. Bahadur, R.C. Mukherjee, Organic chemistry by Morrison Boyde.
Mathematics: Only practice is required in this subject. You may refer to books such as R.D. Sharma, S.K. Goyal, Arihant Publications books, A Das Gupta mathematics books, etc. Getting a good coaching material will help you in practice. Refer to the books, for concept development.

For JEE, most of the books go by the name of the authors, so just having the name of the author and subject, you can easily get books in the market.
Also, you may consider youtube channels that offer good lectures for free!
Please remember, only hard practice and well application-based study can fetch you full marks in JEE. The paper is quite tough and a good revision and hold over concepts is required to succeed.
Hope this Helps
Regards.
First of all best of luck for your future and we hope you score well in JEE exams to get iits or nits. Now coming to the ideal books then out should prefer following books:-
Chemistry:- O.P Tandon for organic,inorganic and physical chemistry.
Physics:- H.C Verma(concepts of physics-vol 1&2)
Or IIT JEE Physics by D.C Pandey
Mathematics:- arihant publication book for JEE mains preparation.
Hope you find it useful. I highly recommend you the series of books I gave to you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
See u should be focussing on ur loose points to cover up that and score much more good score in the JEE mains and advanced next year. U should be going for standard reference books with the NCERT course book. For maths u should be going for CENGAGE and TATA McGWAHILL , for physics HC VERMA and IE IRODOV , for inorganic chemistry SUDARSHAN GUHA , for organic chemistry CENGAGE , for physical chemistry GRB. hope this helps.
Ask if any query. Good luck
CHEMISTRY
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
- Coaching material!! (lifeline :P)
- NCERT textbooks (theory) (MOST IMPORTANT THEORY BOOKS)
- JD LEE (theory) (olympiads)(upto your wish)
- Huheey (theory) (used very less) (olympiads and IOC enthu junta)
- problems in inorganic chemistry CENGAGE by Vishal Joshi (problems) (very useful) (it is as well important to practice inorganic chemistry, and a great collection of problems is available)
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
- Coaching material!! (lifeline :P)
- NCERT textbooks (theory) (VERY VERY IMPORTANT)
- Peter Sykes (short and really sweet book) (good for understanding mechanisms)
- Morrison Boyde unadapted version (really very conceptual) (but very long)
- problems in organic chemistry CENGAGE by Surendra Mishra (problems) (very useful) (recommended for problem solving aspect) (synchronized with the current JEE syllabus and level)
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
- Coaching material!! (lifeline :P)
- NCERT textbooks (theory)
PHYSICS
a) THEORY BOOKS
- HC VERMA (for basics) (traditional book)
- UNIVERSITY PHYSICS (not used much) (very long and sluggish for me)
- RESNICK HALLIDAY (not used much but its quite good)
- KLEPPNER AND KOLENKOW (great book) (higher level) (olympiads)
- electromagnetism by DJ GRIFFITHS (great book) (higher level) (olympiads)
- irodov theory book for mechanics (great book) (higher level) (olympiads)
- fenymans lectures on physics (not compulsary)
b)PROBLEM BOOKS
- Coaching material!!
- HC VERMA (good for basics)(must try grasp all concepts)(good objective types)
- irodov (great book) (mechanics SHM fluids themodynamics electrostatscurrent electricity capacitance modern physics) (some chapters arent jee oriented)
- krotov (olympiads)(not done alot)(tough!!)
- CENGAGE : Advanced problems in school physics (my favorite book for problem solving) (gives lot of intuition) (olympiads)
MATHS
- Coaching material!! (lifeline :P) (almost used only questions provided)
- Hall and knight algebra (some topics)
- SL LONEY trignometry (if you think yourself good at trig, miscellaneous problems at end are worth trying!!!)
- SL LONEY coordinate geometry (great book) (for conic sections especially)
- Fitjee AITS MATHS (not at all needed) (used for show off) (challenging problems)
PS : Well that was a long list but to be clear i did bits bits of each thing, more important than books is time management, so be clear about it.
And yeah best of luck :)
