Hello Bharu,

It's good to hear that you are preparing for JEE mains and JEE Advanced. To clear JEE Mains and JEE advanced you must have a very clear concept of physics, chemistry and Mathematics. Here are some of the best books to prepare: 

Firstly I would suggest you to clear all your concepts by reading the NCERT books. Especially for physics, go through NCERT books nicely. Then you can follow the Concepts of physics by H.C. Verma. Then go for Halliday and Resnick and finally when you complete all these books go for D.C. Pandey. 

For chemistry also first go through the NCERT books, then you can go for P.W. Atkins, O.P. Tandon and numerical calculations by R.C. Mukherjee for physical chemistry. J.D. Lee and O.P. Tandon for inorganic chemistry and O.P. Tandon, Paula Bruice Yurkanis, M.S. Chuahan and Morrison and Boyd for Organic chemistry. 

For mathematics also first clear your concepts. For Differential and Integral Calculus books by Amit M Aggarwal and Dr S.K. Goyal. For trigonometry and Co ordinate geometry books by S.L. LONEY. You can also refer to R.D. Sharma and G. Tiwani books. 

At last try to solve last 10 years question paper to get thorough with the pattern and level of question paper. Work hard, success is yours. 

All the best.

Hello Bharu!

For JEE MAIN & ADVANCED there are lot of books available in the market.

You must have NCERTs, one reference book, chapterwise last year problems book and a Question Bank.

You can go for RD SHARMA in MATHS.

OP TANDON series in Chemistry with RC MUKHERJEE. Also LG WADE or MORRISON BOYD for ORGANIC. Or you can go for MS CHOUHAN.

For INORGANIC go for JD LEE.

For physics HC VERMA and DC PANDEY will suffice.

Also chapterwise problems previous year are must. Consider Arihant publication.

Hope that helps!
