Hi Dhruv,

JEE is considered to be the toughest exam in the world let alone India, so it requires a lot of practice and self dedication.

I like that you want to solve more books for getting the feel of what type of questions you will come across when you face the paper.

I would advice you to first go through the complete coaching material and if you feel that you need more practice, I would recommend you to try out the following books-

For JEE Mains-

Physics- HC Verma (Volume 1 and 2)

Chemistry- Dr. O.P. Tandon

Mathematics- R.D. Sharma (Vol.1 and 2), Arihant Publications by S.K. Goyal and Amit Agarwal

Moreover,

you must go through the complete NCERT for Chemistry as some questions come directly from NCERT and miscellaneous questions of Mathematics NCERT.


For JEE Advanced-

Physics- I.E. Irodov and Fundamental of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker

Chemistry- Dr. O.P. Tandon for physical chemistry, Morrison and Boyd for organic chemistry, J.D. Lee                   for inorganic chemistry

Mathematics- R.D. Sharma, Hall and Knight for algebra, R.S. Agarwal


You can also solve the previous question papers of JEE by purchasing the book from the given link-

https://www.amazon.in/Chapterwise-Topicwise-Solved-2018-1979-Chemistry/dp/9313163306/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3B2CKLBDLBDRB&keywords=jee+previous+year+question+papers+solved&qid=1558699745&s=gateway&sprefix=jee+pre%2Caps%2C897&sr=8-3

It is your choice.

Feel free to ask for any more queries.

All the best!!!

Sir,what should be the hierarchy for doing the books in the three subjects?? Should I do chapterwise,or what should be the schedule?? What should be the priority?

In my opinion, first priority must be given to physics, then mathematics and then chemistry.First, you should go through the syllabus of jee completely, then check how many questions are apperaring from each topic in previous year papers. Set your schedule according to the topics which have most importance.Skip the topics which are least appearing and follow the prepared schedule to the T.Also, do not spend too much time to dig deep in topics that you find hard.Most importantly, keep away the distractions like pubg, tik-tok, etc. from you and you will be one step closer to success.Hope this information helps.Feel free to ask any more queries.All the best for Jee!!!

Hello Dhruv

According to your question you seem to me a jee aspirant. Clearing jee exams is never about books, its always about how much your concepts are clear.
Switching books is a personal choice,its not like its a procedure for clearing jee.
what you read,how much you read it totally your choice but all that matters is how much you are able to attempt during the exams and that even confidently.So, i think i proved my point.
If you have more doubts feel free to ask.
