Following are the recommended books for the

Preparation of IIT JEE Examination: 2010

1. Physics:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

 Concept of Physics Volume 1 & Volume 2, By H C Verma

 Problems in General Physics, By I.E. Irodov (For selected problems)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

 Fundamentals of Physics, By Halliday, Resnick & Walker

 The Feynman Lectures on Physics Volume 1 & Volume 2, By R.P. Feynman

(Very nice book, all the fundamentals are well emphasized.)

2. Chemistry

2.1 Physical Chemistry:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

 Numerical Chemistry, By R.C. Mukhrjee (One must solve all the numerical
problems of R.C. Mukhrjee, It's worked out examples are very good.)

 Physical Chemistry, By P. Bahadur (For reading theory)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

 Physical Chemistry, By P.W. Atkins

 University Chemistry, By Bruce H. Mahan

  General Chemistry, By Ebbing

2.2 Organic Chemistry:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

 Organic Chemistry, By Arihant Prakashan (One has to be careful as it contains

several errors. But very nice book, all the topics are given in a nice sequence.)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

 Organic Chemistry, By Solomons (I would strongly recommend this book. All the
fundamentals of reaction mechanisms are well emphasized. You don't need any
tutor if you have this book.)

 Organic Chemistry, By Morrison & Boyd

 Organic Chemistry Volume 1, By I. L. Finar

2.3 Inorganic Chemistry:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

 NCERT, Chemistry XI & XII

 Inorganic Chemistry, By Arihant Prakashan

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

 Concise Inorganic Chemistry, By J.D. Lee

Mathematics:

Text Books: For solving problems and understanding basics

  Higher Algebra, By Hall & Knight (Complex Number, Series & Sequence of this
book is very nice.)

 Problems in Calculus of One Variable, By I.A. Maron (Very nice book, one must
solve function, Limit & Continuity, Differential, Integral & Definite Integral of
this book.)

 Co-ordinate Geometry, By S. L. Loney (Its conic section is very nice. Sometimes

even the problem in the Mains is directly from this book. This happened with me.)

 Plane Trigonometry Part I, By S. L. Loney

 Vectors & 3-D Geometry, By Arihant Prakashan

 Mathematics, By Tata Macgraw Hill (TMH)

Reference Books: For understanding doubts

 Calculus, By J. Edward

 Vector, By Shanti Narayan

The above list of books is more than enough to clear IIT JEE, if one solves problems
honestly. Those who are interested in looking more books can go through the list
which is given below.
