Reviews of best JEE Chemistry Books

This is a follow up to my article on reviews of JEE Physics books. It would be good to read it before reading this article because I will be using the terminology used in that article.

Physical chemistry:
For noobs and semi pros, I would recommend OP Tondon


It's the best book and contains ample of theory and problems. Good for beginner as well as intermediate levels.

For the legendaries, I would recommend RC Mukherjee


It's the best book for Physical chemistry problems.

Organic Chemistry:
No book can beat LG Wade when it comes to a book for organic chemistry


I have been promoting this book since a long time because I personally like this book a lot. You can read it like a novel!
A word of advice: LG Wade doesn't cover GOC that well. It is advisable to study GOC from NCERT before starting with Wade. It is good for noobs as well as semi-pros. I would say it is the best book for legendaries as well.

However, for those who are looking for really challenging problems (legendaries!), you should try MS Chauhan


Caution: There are quite a few mistakes in this book. Also note that there are a large number of problems which are way above JEE syllabus. A lot of problems are also exceptional cases. So, use this book only if you think you are legendary

Inorganic Chemistry:
NCERT is an excellent book for noobs

   

Semi-pros should give a try to relevant portions of OP Tondon inorganic chemistry


Caution: stick to JEE syllabus while reading this book

Legendaries should definitely read JD Lee - the best book out there for inorganic chemistry!


Caution 1: stick to JEE syllabus while reading this book

For all of these books, there are lots of editions available (especially LG Wade and JD Lee). If you are doubtful, just go ahead and purchase the edition attached in this post.

PS: These are the books that I myself referred to during my JEE preparation. What else did I read besides this? I completed FIITJEE and Resonance and Bansal coaching's inorganic chemistry material.

How to get back into the race after wasting 1 or 2 months of JEE preparation?

Most students start their JEE preparation in April. Some wake up a bit late. Are you one of those who is starting now? Are you worried that you will lose the race because you started off late? Do you feel depressed about not properly utilizing the starting few months? Do you spend a lot of time thinking if you can ever make it to IITs? If the answer to the above question is a yes, you’ve landed yourself at the right place.

This article is a paid article. You need to pay a meagre amount of Rs. 59 to read this article. As an author, I value your money and before you pay any money, here are a few things that might help you:
  • The article has been written by me (Aman Goel)
  • It is about 2200 words long. My articles are generally of 500 words or so. This one is more comprehensive and I have tried to answer each of the above question. I have tried making it comprehensive and the main goal is to help students. The article has been written keeping in mind that you are spending your parents' hard earned money. At the end, you shouldn't feel disappointed for letting your money go away without gaining anything in return (note that you should go ahead only if the title of the blog interests you!)
  • Article will be immediately mailed to you on the email ID you provide. This all happens via an automated system and no human is involved. Payments are encrypted via secure industry grade encryption. So you don't have to worry about security.

I would suggest that you take help from your parents for payments.
If you have any questions or doubts or comments, feel free to ask in the comment section. This paid blogging is a starting of my career as a young entrepreneur and I would appreciate if readers cooperate. If enough people opt for paid articles, we will remove all advertisements!

If there is something wrong with payments and you feel you've been cheated, immediately drop an email at jeeambl@gmail.com. I will be actively monitoring this email ID henceforth.
Note that I have tried to keep the amount as low as possible. I have spent hours in setting it all up. Software Engineers are typically paid $40 per hour (which is Rs. 2700). Keeping this in mind, I think that the amount won't be too much of a load on the readers (considering the time I spent in writing the article and getting it reviewed). The base price is set to Rs. 59. If you feel that this blog has helped you, you can pay more. The money earned would be used to improve the quality of articles on the blog.

Care has been taken to focus on quality of the article. I have got it reviewed several times. I hope you like it!
If you like it, do post your reviews in the comments sections!

Here are some of the reviews that I got:
  • Hey Aman, first of all thank you for this great post, it was really amazing
  • The best blog you've written so far! Totally worth the money. Good going Aman!
  • Thank you Aman, my son will really benefit from blog
  • Great work bhaiya!!!
  • Why did you price it so low????? This is worth thousands!!!
  • Hi Aman, this blog's highly Motivating!!!!! It is due this blog that I have got motivated to get an AIR 100 rank in JEE advanced
All those who want to read the article, but do not have access to a debit card can drop an email at jeeambl@gmail.com and I will try helping you with alternative payment options. You can also consider taking help from your friend. Also, we do have options for net banking (where you don't need a card!)

Reviews of best JEE Physics books

Quite a few of you ask me to write the reviews of books so that you can purchase them without any hassle. I understand that the books section contains a lot of books which may be overwhelming for you and not everyone can afford so many books. I hope this post will ease your choice of books.

I will categorize students into 3 categories. Let's choose some fancy names.

  • Noobs - these people have just begun JEE preparation. They don't know anything about JEE syllabus, pattern, etc. These people have no clue about their potential. Basically they know nothing! I was a noob back in 2011 when I started JEE preparation.
  • Semi pro - these people have some idea. They know what it is like to prepare for JEE. Basically if you have been through say 2 months (or more) of JEE preparation, then you can be called as a semi pro.
  • Legendary - these people have excellent idea of JEE preparation and their potential. I would say that such people are potentially top 100 rank candidates.


Let us start with Physics. For any student, the very basic recommended textbook is Concepts of Physics by Professor HC Verma (who is himself a professor at IIT Kanpur). As a JEE aspirant, you must have this book in your mini library. It comes in 2 parts and you can purchase it here:



Make sure to purchase both the volumes ASAP. You will be needing them for basic reference.
Recommended for: noobs and semi pros

Once you are thorough with the very basic level, you must solve problems from DC Pandey books.
Why? They contain problems that are in accordance with JEE syllabus. They have so called tips and tricks that you will need for JEE.

            

These books will be extremely useful for those who are relying on self study.
Recommended for: semi pros and legendaries

Once you are a semi pro and you want to improve your level to legendary, I would recommend solving IE Irodov. This book will help you realize that you are a fool and you know nothing about Physics and that there is a lot to be learnt. It will truly make you a legendary from a semi pro level.


Recommended for: legendaries
Not recommended for: noobs

A lot of you message me saying - I want to get a top 50 rank and I aim for IITB CSE. As an IITB CSE student, I can tell you that these are the bare minimum set of books almost everyone here has solved (barring those who are from a top coaching institute). These books will be very useful for those who are relying on self study. They will teach you theory as well as give you ample of practice for JEE level physics.
