Best books for preparation of JEE main 2021: To kick-start preparation for any competitive exam, the first step is to make a good choice  of books. Selecting quality and helpful books should be foremost priority of a student aiming to crack JEE main 2021. The thing which will make you different from lakhs of students appearing for the same competitive exam is your preparation and study material, therefore it is important to choose it wisely. List of books mentioned in this article are well researched, popular and recommended by previous year toppers and subject experts. Beside Books suggested, students are also suggested to practice previous year papers, sample papers and mock tests as practicing them is important to score good.

Books recommended

As said by Charles W. Eliot  “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”

Importance of NCERTs in preparation for JEE main 2021

Before moving onto any reference book it is recommended to read and practice your NCERT books thoroughly to strong your base for JEE main 2021, they are called bible for a reason. After completing your NCERTs you can refer the following books to practice further.

Physics

Physics is one of the main section of JEE main syllabus. it consist of both practical as well as theoretical questions, therefore proper understanding of fundamentals and practicing numerical questions is very important for the candidate.

Chemistry

This section is easier in comparison to other two but it still requires practice and dedication to score good marks. Questions in this section revolves around theories and concept, therefore clearing once concept through NCERT first is very important before going onto other books.

Mathematics

Mathematics is the toughest section of JEE main as compared to other two sections. Though, toughest it is also the most scoring section, if one practices accordingly. It includes comprehensive problems and prescribed topics. It requires more time and practice than the other two, therefore selecting good reference books for this section is important.

It is not necessary to buy each and every book. Look for books which will compliment you the most i.e. know your weak sections and choose the books accordingly.

Hey aspirant !!

These are some goods for JEE MAIN preparation.

hope this helps you !!

Dear ruchika,

If you are preparing for jee mains, then you must prepare with the best and with the one which is currently updated.

Because now, the competition for jee mains is very much increased and the different varieties of updates question are seen. And these, old books like hc verma and some board books like Op tandon or p bahadur or rd sharma will not help you. Because for cracking jee exams you have to practice lot of question of different varieties, and these board books just repeat 100 questions of single variety, and therefore every year the thickness of these books increases.

No, doubt hc verma for physics is very good book, but it's questions are mainly subjective type, so it is beneficial for jee advanced.

So, here are the few good books recommendation that will be useful for jee mains as well as jee advanced and by studying these mentioned books, definitely you will crack jee mains or jee advanced with flying colours.


For physics :-
Use CENGAGE physics series book to solve all the questions. Solve all the egs, concept application exercise and if you are preparing for jee mains then focus on solving all the single choice correct along with the integer type question ( because the jee mains pattern has been changed ) . Also solve the appendix section that is given at the end of every 4 or 3 chapters.

For chemistry :-

Physical chemistry - for physical chemistry, solve the complete level 1 from the book : Problems in physical chemistry by narendra avasthi. For theory you can refer cengage books.

Inorganic chemistry - read each and every line of ncert book and if possible remember all the egs from ncert book .

Organic chemistry - for theory you can refer cengage books. And for problem solving you must do it from ADVANCED PROBLEMS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY by MS CHOUHAN.


For mathematics :-
Use cengage mathematics book series. And Solve all the egs, concept application exercise and for jee mains focus mainly on solving all the single choice correct along with the integer type question


I hope this helps you.
