Inorganic Chemistry

While NCERT Chemistry books are good, one can use P. Bahadur book for Physical Chemistry,
Solomons for Organic Chemistry and O. P. Tandon for Inorganic Chemistry. For problems, Numerical
Chemistry by R. C. Mukherjee is quite good.

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

Staple Physics books for JEE Advanced include NCERT Physics for Class 11th and 12th and H C
Vermas Concepts of Physics Vol I and II. For more problem exercises, you can try I. E. Irodov book.
Other books are good for reference only.

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!

Besides NCERT books, for IIT-level Maths, R. S. Agarwal books and S. L. Loney books are quite
good. You can use other books only for reference.

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 exam

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
