  4. Huheey (theory) (used very less) (olympiads and IOC enthu junta)
  5. problems in inorganic chemistry CENGAGE by Vishal Joshi (problems) (very useful) (it is as well important to practice inorganic chemistry, and a great collection of problems is available)

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

  1. Coaching material!! (lifeline :P)
  2. NCERT textbooks (theory) (VERY VERY IMPORTANT)
  3. Peter Sykes (short and really sweet book) (good for understanding mechanisms)
  4. Morrison Boyde unadapted version (really very conceptual) (but very long)

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

  1. Coaching material!! (lifeline :P)
  2. NCERT textbooks (theory)

PHYSICS

a) THEORY BOOKS

  1. HC VERMA (for basics) (traditional book)
  2. UNIVERSITY PHYSICS (not used much) (very long and sluggish for me)
  3. RESNICK HALLIDAY (not used much but its quite good)

  2. Hall and knight algebra (some topics)
  3. SL LONEY trignometry (if you think yourself good at trig, miscellaneous problems at end are worth trying!!!)

Dear aspirant,
I can suggest you the best books.
H.c.verma for theroy part of physics and cengage for objective part of physics.
R.d.sharma for theroy part of mathematics and cengage for objective part of mathematics.
NCERT books are the best for the theroy part of chemistry. Himanshu pandey for orgaric chemistry objective part and o.p tandon for the remaining objective part of chemistry.
If you can read this books perfectly then you can have the ability to crack the jee mains as well as jee advanced exams. Hope it helps you.
Thank you.
