Books to study/refer for IITJEE/ AIEEE Preparations

There are 1000's of books on IIT JEE. You will often get confused about what to study and what now! Not only that, given the cost of a single copy of these books, it becomes even more difficult to get all these books. Of course, you could argue that buying all the books wont be a problem at all, but there are a lot of bad books which you should avoid at all cost!

Our Simple selection of books is this: * We think and strongly believe that this is a complete list and you dont need to go beyond this one! We dont want to overwhelm you with 1000 different books. We think that this list is comprehensive and sufficient!

Mathematics:
Compulsory: NCERT (Not sufficient!)
Optional: (Depending on which one you like!)
One or two of - RS Aggrawal, TataMcGrawHills, A Dasgupta (Bharti Bhawan), K C Sinha, Correspondence course of VidyaMandir, Delhi)

Physics:
Compulsory: NCERT (Not sufficient!)
Optional: H C Verma
Could be: Pradeep's

Chemistry:
Compulsory: NCERT (Sufficient for Inorganic!)
Optional: Any Coaching Material (RSM of Fiitjee, Vidyamandir Correspondence, Resonance Correspondence)

With Chemistry, the issue is that you wont get good books that cover all topics. Even for say Organic or Physical, you will not find a suitable text which is exactly what is needed for IIT-JEE or even CBSE preparations! So, we strongly recommend correspondence course of one of these Institutes.

i like arihant.... all books...
the new pattern iit books from arihant is nice. but the new pattern  maths is superb ...
i find difficult to cope up with tmh... only formulas r there, the required theory is missing..
chemistry i read the comprehensive chemistry the best book i ve ever found ...
well i take vmc correspondence...
initially i didnt had a strong base..so i found the materials a bit difficult...
now i 'm in 12. & will be appearing for iit this yr.
wud u suggest which topics i should focus more in pcm nd how to use the last few days effectively....

i believe narayana is the best material available for chemistry

maths ...every book is good provided u solve it completely...books like rds ml khanna kc sinha become quite boring after some time...adg is the only book which keeps the interest alive!

I for one dont like ML Khanna..

HCV is awesome for problems and for theory too it is quite good..

Chemistry i cant comment..


FIITJEE problems are nice...

So overall you are in the right direction.. just have a look on Maths..

If you really want to master Mathematics for IIT JEE :

Try A Dasgupta ( Subjective )

There is nothing better than that , so try it only if you can solve all others .


There is no shortage of good books but it is not necessary that every book
suits you compeletely so it is wise to try the book first from the library and
then go on for buying it if it suits you.

But here are a few books that you cant afford to miss :

PHYSICS : HC Verma or D.C. Pandey(objective)

MATHEMATICS : ML Khanna or TMH

CHEMISTRY : OP Aggarwal

I personally think tmh is not really the kind of book for JEE, bcos its whole model is based on reading a question reading its solution and learning the "method", and anybody who says that he solves the question and does not look at the solution (which is given right below) is lying..believe me. Im a big fan of A Dasgupta, but thats only once ur in the 12th..its not a book to start with. and also the typical ML khanna book has its advantages if used rightly.. its like a big pool of questions.. dont solve all.. plus the solution is given behind the chapter and not just below it.

definitely u should.. there are parts of that book which are lovely and should be used by all users...

The basic fact is that not every one likes every book...

At the end of the day it is upto u to decide which book to use.. each author has a writing style... it should match with ur wavelength..

You should not read a book just bcos ur friend thinks it is good...

U have to like it as well......

TMH is a good book... it has some wonderful problems..

U should definitely use it.. No point getting bogged down by the name of the books! (Bcos so many ppl say it is so tough and what not!)
