Dear chiraggoel,

Here is the list of the books that are generally recommended for the Preparation of IIT JEE Examination: Please remember that you should not start solving all the books at a time, this will do nothing but waste your time. Take one text book, solve its problems and if you have any difficulty in solving and understanding then consider referring to other books.

Physics:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

Concept of Physics Volume 1 & Volume 2, By H C Verma

Problems in General Physics, By I.E. Irodov (For selected problems)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

Fundamentals of Physics, By Halliday, Resnick & Walker

The Feynman Lectures on Physics Volume 1 & Volume 2, By R.P. Feynman (Very nice book, all the fundamentals are well emphasized.)

Chemistry:

Physical Chemistry:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

Numerical Chemistry, By R.C. Mukhrjee (One must solve all the numerical problems of R.C. Mukhrjee, It’s worked out examples are very good.)

Physical Chemistry, By P. Bahadur (For reading theory)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

Physical Chemistry, By P.W. Atkins

University Chemistry, By Bruce H. Mahan

General Chemistry, By Ebbing

Organic Chemistry:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

Organic Chemistry, By Arihant Prakashan (One has to be careful as it contains several errors. But very nice book, all the topics are given in a nice sequence.)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

Organic Chemistry, By Solomons (I would strongly recommend this book. All the fundamentals of reaction mechanisms are well emphasized. You don’t need any tutor if you have this book.)

Organic Chemistry, By Morrison & Boyd

Organic Chemistry Volume 1, By I. L. Finar

Inorganic Chemistry:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

NCERT, Chemistry XI & XII

Inorganic Chemistry, By Arihant Prakashan

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

Concise Inorganic Chemistry, By J.D. Lee

Mathematics:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

Higher Algebra, By Hall & Knight (Complex Number, Series & Sequence of this book is very nice.)

Problems in Calculus of One Variable, By I.A. Maron (Very nice book, one must solve function, Limit & Continuity, Differential, Integral & Definite Integral of this book.)

Co-ordinate Geometry, By S. L. Loney (Its conic section is very nice. Sometimes even the problem in the Mains is directly from this book. This happened with me.)

Plane Trigonometry Part I, By S. L. Loney

Vectors & 3-D Geometry, By Arihant Prakashan

Mathematics, By Tata Macgraw Hill (TMH)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

Calculus, By J. Edward

Vector, By Shanti Narayan

The above list of books is more than enough to clear IIT JEE, if one solves problems honestly.

As far as book by Krotov is concerned, I think there is no need of it . It is much more advanced than what IIT JEE requires.

Dear Chirag goel,

As suggested by leonardodvin, get the difference between what books to be solved completely and what books are used for reference purpose. This is pretty important when it comes to JEE preparation.
