What are the best books for JEE Main 2020 preparation?

All engineering aspirants who wish to make it to the top colleges in the country, including IITs, NITs and IIITs must refer to this list of books that are best-suited for JEE Main.

Students wishing to join the best engineering colleges in India after completing their higher secondary education are required to take up the JEE Main entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The department of higher education under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has appointed NTA to conduct the Joint Entrance Examination or JEE, starting 2020.

JEE Main is the entrance exam for admission to undergraduate engineering courses such as BE or B.Tech in National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and other engineering institutions of national importance. The JEE examination is also regarded as the preliminary test for JEE Advanced examination, which is the entrance test for Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

JEE Main important dates

For those planning to appear for the exam, can now fill their JEE Main applications starting September 3. The last date to apply for the examination is September 30. Students can register for the test practice centers from August 10 to December 29. All mistakes in the submitted application forms can be corrected from the second to the third week of October. JEE Main 2020 January exam will be conducted on January 6-11 and JEE Main 2020 April exam will be conducted from April 3-9. The JEE Main 2020 answer keys for January exam will be released in the third week of January next year and the results will be declared on January 31.

Important books for JEE Main 2020

It has been speculated that students who follow the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) books at the higher secondary level can crack the JEE Main with good marks. However, NCERT alone is not sufficient and students have to refer other books as well for detailed coverage of certain topics. Some of the best books of different subjects for JEE Main preparation are as follows:

For Chemistry

Chemistry for JEE Main preparation is divided into physical, inorganic and organic. Study with regular revision is important to master the subject as it involves a number of reactions and formulas. Some best books for effective preparation of chemistry are:

• IIT Chemistry by O P Tandon
• Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd
• Complete Chemistry for JEE Main by NCERT
• Physical Chemistry by O P Tandon
• Organic Chemistry by Solomon and Fryhle
• Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J D Lee
• Textbook for the Modern Approach to Chemical Calculations by R C Mukherjee
• Numerical Chemistry by P Bahadur

For Physics

Many students find physics as a tough paper to clear in a competitive examination, as it is required to master its fundamental concepts so as to score well in the JEE main examination. 

• Understanding Physics for JEE Main and JEE Advanced by D C Pandey
• Understanding Physics Electricity and Magnetism by D C Pandey
• Concepts of Physics (Volume 1 and 2) by H C Verma
• Complete Physics for JEE main by I E Irodov
• Problems in General Physics by I E Irodov

For Mathematics

The JEE main syllabus for Maths subject is vast and it also considered as a challenging subject. Students are required to master the theorems and also have a clear understanding of the underlying concepts. The important Maths books for JEE Main preparation are:

• IIT Mathematics by R.D Sharma
• The Pearson guide to complete mathematics by SL Loney
• Integral calculus and Differential calculus for IIT JEE by Amit Agarwal
• Course in Mathematics for IIT-JEE by TMH Publications
• Arihant Publications Vectors and RD Geometry book
• Introduction to Probability and its applications for JEE Main and advanced by Wiliam Feller.
