There are various books for preparation of JEE Mains and JEE Advanced but we recommended selective books for your preparation. Books given below is our recommended books.

• NCERT Textbook
• Physical chemistry/modern chemistry by P.Bahadur
• Problems in Physical Chemistry for JEE (Main & Advanced) by Narendra Awasthi
• Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd for Organic Chemistry
• Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J. D. Lee and op Tandon for Inorganic Chemistry
• Modern Approach to Chemical Calculations by RC Mukherjee
• Op Tandon, Himanshu Pandey for organic chemistry

 Important points to keep in mind when buying books for physics IIT JEE:

• As inorganic is a vast area, give most focus on covering whole NCERT books
• P Bahadur has a huge number of unsolved questions. It is a very nice book and it can give you perfect proficiency in JEE Advanced Physical Chemistry. RC Mukerjee is an easy book which focuses more on conceptual knowledge.
• Op Tandon focus on both JEE Main and advance, while Himanshu Pandey focus only on advance.

The distribution of questions in the exam for Chemistry paper is as follow:

CHEMISTRY – Important Chapters for JEE Mains

Chemistry is divided into organic, physical, inorganic chemistry. Some questions in chemistry involve calculations, others are analysis and inference based. It is ever most important to have a rock-solid foundation in chemistry to tackle both sorts of problems. To have that, these are the 6 topics you should be confident with.

1. Chemical Bonding
2. Periodic table
3. Carbonyl Compounds and their derivatives
4. Redox reactions, Mole Concept and the concept of equivalents
5. Solid state, solutions and gases theory
6. Thermochemistry and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

The following chapters are not included in JEE Advanced syllabus but are included in JEE Main

• Inorganic Chemistry: Entire H chapter, F Block elements
• Biomolecules: Proteins, vitamins and nucleic acids
