Dear aspirant,
Hope you're doing well in this pandemic situation and all the best for your upcoming exams and future. According to your question, in my suggestion, you can use NCERT books for basic concepts, and for practice there are many books like Objective mathematics by R.D. Sharma, books from Arihant Publication, and many more.
Also, you can check the below link for books suggestion-

Hope it helps.
Hello Deepali,
The competition in JEE has reached an altogether new level with the coaching industry booming up and so, it becomes important to make a wise choice of books in order to utilise your time maximally. You are definitely not expected to purchase them all.
You should refer them as per your choice and your interest of study.
Physics:
Concepts of Physics Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 - arguably the best book for beginners
Mechanics Part-1 & 2 by DC Pandey - the best book for rankers
Understanding Physics Electricity and Magnetism by DC Pandey
Understanding Physics for JEE Main & Advanced Optics & Modern Physics by DC Pandey
Understanding Physics for JEE Main & Advanced Waves & Thermodynamics by DC Pandey
You might rather want to buy the complete set of books - Understanding Physics Series (Set of 5 Books) by DC Pandey
Problems In General Physics by IE Irodov - buy this book if you want some challenge
Resnick Halliday - a great book for theory and non trivial problems
New pattern Physics Book by DC Pandey - a great book for problems!
Mathematics
RD Sharma class 11th and RD Sharma class 12th - people tend to underestimate the school level books. But these are the ones that will build your foundation.
Coordinate Geometry for IIT-JEE by SK Goyal - indeed a great book for Coordinate geometry. Its subjective problems are excellent
Differential Calculus for IIT-JEE by Amit Agarwal - the best book for differential calculus for any competitive exams
Integral Calculus for IIT-JEE by Amit Agarwal - the best book for integral calculus for any competitive exam
Algebra for JEE Main & Advanced by Arihant Publication - not the best book, goes a lot beyond syllabus. If you are specifically preparing for JEE, then make sure to stick to syllabus
Vectors & 3D Geometry by Arihant Publications - again, a great book
Trigonometry for JEE Main & Advanced by Arihant Publications - trigonometry is not directly asked in JEE these days.
Board level books are usually sufficient
IIT Mathematis by ML Khanna - a highly subjective book for JEE. This book might get you selected in JEE, but isn't sufficient for a good rank
Problems Plus In Iit Mathematics by A Das Gupta - I never used this book, but it is recommended by many toppers
COURSE in MATHEMATICS for IIT-JEE (TMH) - I would say that this is the best book for JEE when it comes to problems. The algebra section is the best in this book
A Practice Book of Mathematics JEE Main & Advanced by Arihant Publication - a great book for problems
Chemistry
New Pattern Textbook of Physical Chemistry for Competitions (JEE Main & Advanced ) by OP Tondon - the best book for physical chemistry for any competitive exam
Modern Approach to Chemical Calculations by RC Mukherjee - the best book for physical chemistry for problems
Numerical Chemistry 22/e by P Bahadur - recommended by many top rankers
Organic Chemistry by LG Wade - this is the BEST possible book for organic chemistry. DON'T buy OP Tondon organic chemistry. Many aspirants buy random books and then the book says something in 1 chapter and something contradicting in the other chapter. If you trust me, buy this book and see the magic of organic chemistry.
Organic Chemistry by Morrison Boyd - you must read this book once if you are appearing for JEE. This is the so called "HC Verma" of organic chemistry
Concise Inorganic Chemistry by JD Lee - a great book for inorganic chemistry. This book will teach you how to understand the subject rather than cramming it
Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry for Competiotions (JEE Main & Advanced ) by OP Tondon - a great book for problems
Having said that, you must also solve the Exemplar problems by NCERT. They contain some must solve problems.
You should additionally keep the following on your table
NCERT Exemplar Problems: Solutions Physics Class 12
NCERT Exemplar Problems: Solutions Mathematics Class 12
NCERT Exemplar Problems: Solutions Chemistry Class 12
NCERT Exemplar Problems: Solutions Chemistry Class 11
NCERT Exemplar Problems: Solutions Physics Class 11
NCERT Exemplar Problems: Solutions Mathematics Class 11
Besides, if you are looking for general preparation guidance, you can have a look at the following:

And finally, to revise the syllabus, you can buy revision packages:
Rank Booster-2015 - the most relevant JEE revision package
FIITJEE GMP - a challenging package, goes beyond JEE level
To do the best, you need the best books for preparation-
