Before we discuss which books can be useful for what subject, one thing that should be clear is that what includes your study material. Study material for an exam like JEE Main includes NCERTs, reference books, self-made notes, test series or mock tests, handouts (if required).
Students are advised to be focused during classes and prepare proper notes that can be used for revision even months after.
