arihant series for maths and r.dsharma
also try to solve mock tests and try to solve minimum 150-200 mcqs daily without fail
i hope this information is helpful
all the best.
I had researched almost all the books available in the market. Here are my findings:
- None of the books are strong in all the topics
- Some of the books are still based on subjective question pattern
- Some books are good in theory but not have enough practice questions. There are couple of books which have both theory and practice questions covered decently.
- You should always have three kinds of book:
- Reference Books: Not recommended for regular reading, only for topics when deeper understanding is required.
- Theory Books: Regular reading books to understand the theory and be able to cover the syllabus on time.
- Practice Books: Quality questions with large variety based on current JEE pattern
My Recommendations:
- Just One Author Books: For Students who wants to follow just one author book to cover all their needs I would recommend following books
- Maths: G Tewani Cengage Publications
- Physics: DC Pandey (set of 5 books)
- Chemistry: KS Verma Cengage Publications
- Reference/Theory/Questions Separate Books:
- Maths (Reference): None
- Maths (Theory): NCERT
- Maths (Questions): G Tewani Books and Comprehensive Mathematics By Tata McGraw Hill
- Physics (Reference): Resnick, Halliday and Walker
- Physics (Theory): HC Verma Volume-1 and Volume-2
- Physics (Questions): DC Pandey (all 5 books) and BM Sharma Cengage Publication
- Chemistry (Reference):
- Physical: None
- Inorganic: JD Lee
- Organic: LG Wade
- Chemistry (Theory): NCERT
- Chemistry (Questions):
- Physical: KS Verma
- Inorganic: OP Tondon, KS Verma
- Organic: KS Verma, RK Gupta
- Must Have Complementary Books:
- 14 years Solved papers (2003–2016) or a newer version from Arihant Publications
- 38 years topicwise chapterwise solved papers (Maths: Amit M Agarwal, Physics: DC Pandey, Chemistry: Ranjeet Shahi)
There are a lot of others good books also but above are the ones that you should finish first and revisit again and again to strengthen all the topics.
Other Good Books are:
Maths (easier side): RD Sharma, SK Goyal
Maths (tougher side): A Das, ML Khanna, Amit Agarwal
Physics (easier side): MCQs By D Mukherji
Physics (tougher side): IE Irodov, P Gnadig
Chemistry: Numerical Chemistry-P Bahadur, RC Mukerjee , Peter Sykes Organic Chemistry

Best book for JEE mains are the NCERT if you thoroughly go through the NCERT Book you can get a good score in JEE mains.
If you want a good reference book you can solve HC Verma and heledy resnik for Physics , SL LONEY, Balaji for maths and various theory books for chemistry such as Balaji which is written by the teachers of vibrant institute.
Don't trouble yourself with a huge collection of books for each subject. I'll give you a list.
For every section, I've provided a choice between two books. One hastheory and questions. The other has only questions. Choose according to need.
Physics:
Concepts of Physics(H.C. Verma)
Arihant Understanding Physics(D.C. Pandey) [in case you don't have good theory material. The syllabus is divided into 5 units, one book each, with detailed concepts and questions]
Arihant New Pattern Physics(D.C. Pandey) [question and solutions only]
Chemistry: (NCERT textbooks indispensable)
Physical
GRB Concepts of Physical Chemistry(P. Bahadur) [in case you don't have good theory material]
Problems in Physical Chemistry(N. Awasthi) [summary, question and solutions]
Organic
Mechanism in Organic Chemistry(Peter Sykes, Indian edition) [in case you don't have theory material]
Advanced Problems in Organic Chemistry(M.S. Chouhan) [question and solutions only]
Inorganic
NCERT Chemistry textbook.
Problems in Inorganic Chemistry(V.K. Jaiswal)
Mathematics:
Arihant Skills in Mathematics(Dr S.K. Goyal and Amit M Agarwal) [in case you don't have theory material. The syllabus is divided into 6 units, one book each, with detailed concepts and questions. Some extra stuff included too. Stick to JEE syllabus only]
Arihant New Pattern Mathematics(Amit M. Agarwal) [question and solution only]
Apart from these, you'll require to solve chapterwise problems from the past year actual JEE papers. For the purpose, preferArihant 36 Years question banks, as they have good solutions.
