Best Books for IIT-JEE

Preparation for IIT-JEE is a herculean task and requires a lot of dedication and hard work. Most of the JEE aspirants prefer joining coaching classes for overall preparation of the entrance exam. But the downside of a coaching class is that it hardly leaves you with enough time for self study which is the most important aspect of IIT JEE preparation. But, students who opt to prepare on their own often find themselves lost without having proper idea of which books to study for preparation of IIT-JEE. An easy technique is to get enrolled for online classes and tutorials like the IIT-JEE study package offered by Meritnation.com which have a detailed and systematic setup of great study materials along with mock tests which help the students greatly in their preparation. The stepping stone for achieving a good rank is to get the concepts cleared on all the topics. Since the syllabus of IIT-JEE is mainly set from the overall syllabus of the 11th and 12th class of the CBSE Board, studying NCERT books thoroughly is a great way to build concepts on all the topics. However, it is not enough for JEE Advanced and it is advisable that you consult some of the best-rated books available in the market. But, then again, students often get confused as in which book to study. Some of the most preferred books of different subjects are discussed below:

Physics:

The NCERT Physics for Class XI and XII is a good way to clear up basic concepts on various topics of Physics. Other than that, you must go through Concepts of Physics, Vol.-I & Vol.-II by H. C. Verma which is very easy to understand and helpful for students. Also, with over 1700 problems to solve, the book Problems in Physics by IE Irodov is very effective for solving problems. Other than these books, Physics by D.C. Pandey of Arihant Publications and Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker are also good options for preparation of Physics for IIT JEE.

Chemistry:

For preparation of Chemistry for IIT JEE, the NCERT Chemistry for class XI and XII are usually very good options for developing good concepts in Chemistry. But for the preparation of JEE Advanced you can consult Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd which is very good for both JEE as well as board exams. For numerical problems in Chemistry, you can go through Physical Chemistry by P Bahadur which is also good for any engineering entrance examination. Organic, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry books by OP Tandon as well as Organic Chemistry by JD Lee are also good books and can help you a lot for the preparation of IIT JEE.

Mathematics:

In order to gain a good grip on the fundamentals and concepts of Mathematics, all students should start with NCERT Mathematics for class XI and XII. Also, make sure to purchase IIT Mathematics by ML Khanna which is also great for concept building and clearing of doubts. Make sure to practice from books like New Pattern IIT JEE Mathematics of Arihant Publications by Dr. SK Goyal and Tata McGraw Hill . Solving previous years question papers will also give you an edge while preparing for Mathematics for IIT JEE. Remember: Many a times students tend to neglect the board exams while preparing for IIT JEE. But, as per the new format, you will have to be in the top 20 percentile of your board to qualify for JEE Advanced. So make sure to prepare well for boards as well while preparing for IIT JEE.
