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:

My Encounter With IIT JEE
The Secret of My Success Book

Additionally, to complete your preparation, you must solve the past year JEE papers:

36 Years' Chapter-wise Solved Papers IIT JEE Physics

IIT JEE - Mathematics : 36 Year's Chapter-wise Solved Papers

IIT JEE - Chemistry : 36 Year's Chapter-wise Solved Papers

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

Being one of the most important exams, one needs a lot if hard work and determination to get good score in Jee Main. NCERTs are the books always recommended by the experts. Once you are done with NCERTs, you can move on to other standard reference books.

To do the best, you need the best books for preparation-

• PHYSICS

Concepts of physics by HC Verma
Problems in General Physics by I.E Irodov
Objective questions on physics by DC Pandey

• Mathematics

Objective Maths, RD Sharma
Plane Trigonometry by S L Loney
Complete mathematics for JEE Main TMH
