Here is an exhaustive list of Chemistry text books suggested for competitive exams.
The books which have been tagged as "Recommended" were used by me in some or the other way.
Note that I used a lot of books myself (I had a library of books at my home). However, you are not expected to buy them all. Use your own discretion here.
Also note that the books in the below link have been verified by me. At times I see people getting confused on which version to buy. The below versions are the ones that I myself used and are indeed worth a try.

I think you forgot to add ncert for inorganic(probably), sn sanyal, book for qualitative analysis.
ReplyDeleteNCERT is always included
DeleteWhat do you have to say about Solomon and Fryhle ? Is it better than Morrison and Boyd ? Which is the best book for beginner and average student ?
DeleteP.S.: Abhi do din huae 11 mein aaye aur teacher school mein Oraganic se shuru ki aur dan danate hueae aage bad gayi ? I am perplexed .
bhaiya,
ReplyDeletewhat is the most important book to buy in each physical,inorganic and organic
Which is best for organic chemistry -
ReplyDeleteLG Wade or Morrison Boyd ?
sir we r presently finding it v expensive to purchase lg wade.Could u suggest an ideal time of the yr when it can be purchased.I am in 11,cbse board and have completed only 1st 2 chapters and basics of chemical bonding in chem.I will be much obliged if u can kindly tell me. Thanking you,
ReplyDeleteyours faithfully,
Partha Majumdar
Hello Partha, I understand that the book is expensive, but I really recommend it to the aspirants because I myself gave this book 4 complete readings during my JEE days.
DeleteThere is no specific time to buy this book.
Buy it as soon as you start with organic chemistry
Thank u very much.I am very much benifitted by or advice.......i will try my best to purchase it as soon as i start organic chemistry
DeleteHey Aman could you suggest a source for practical organic chemistry? Most books including LG Wade, Peter Sykes, solomons, etc. don't have it as a separate chapter. Also in the fiitjee package of POC things are not given in detail though atleast all of it is in one place. Also write about how you managed this particular part of organic.
ReplyDeleteFIITJEE packages are sufficient for JEE

DeleteCan thorough study of ncert(chemistry)+exemplar fetch me good marks in JEE MAINS say 80-90 marks i.e. is ncert (chemistry) with exemplar enough for mains?
ReplyDeleteJust as *good marks* has a different definition for different people (for instance, you consider 80-90 marks as good, for someone else, they might not be good), so is the case with *thorough study* :)
DeleteConfused >.<
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that LG Wade for Organic is highly recommended.
But next to it in comments you said FIITJEE Packages are enough for Organic.
So shall I go for LG Wade or not Bhaiya ?
Confused >.<

No, don't get confused.
DeleteRead the context carefully and then come to a conclusion before getting confused.
"Aman said that Abhishek is a good boy" is way different from "Rahul said that *Aman said that Abhishek is a good boy*"
Don't just read the sentence. It is important to understand the context as well
Okay. But I still didnt got to any conclusion. Now I have my Organic Chemistry theoretical portion done and practiced good from my packages and Archives but my teacher in FIITJEE says that I need more practice. So which book should I refer for solving problems of Organic Chemistry?
DeleteSir Is TMH For Full Mathematics
ReplyDeleteSir Is TMH Best For Full Mathematics Includeing Calculus Algebra Co-ordinate Geometry Or Something Else You Want To Say
ReplyDeletehey goel
ReplyDeletelg wade is not useful for jee adv not even for mains
plz dont misguide students b suggesting wrong books
Are you serious?
DeleteAIR 1 IIT JEE 2010 Jithender Reddy studied LG Wade
I (AIR 33 JEE Advanced 2013) studied LG Wade for JEE Advanced Organic Chemistry
I (115/120 in Chemistry in JEE Main 2013 - highest in India) studied LG Wade for JEE Main Organic Chemistry
LG Wade is the book used in B.Tech First Year at IIT Bombay for the Organic Chemistry course
Getting the facts right before raising the voice is always appreciated :)
but is lg wade good for someone just trying to qualify iit with less than 1000 rank.
Deletealso too many books confuses us. i have fiitjee and op tandon so should i take lg wade?

ReplyDeleteI am currnlently at vibrant academy but they are not providing much problems for vector . Aman can u suggest a good book only for vectors .
ReplyDeleteHi, Sorry for stupid question, is there a better substitute for p/d/f blocks and related stuff (reactions) than NCERT, I just cannot sit through it, have tried 15-20 time and wasted most of it. I know bonding pretty good, is RK Gupta good enough for advanced theory?
ReplyDeleteHi bhaiya,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to know that which is the best book to understand mechanisms and fine rules and other details (basically theory) for organic chemistry..
Is ncert good for organic chemistry also...
Sn sanyal
DeleteWill the study material (distance learning) provided by study institute like resonance and fiitjee work instead of these books?
ReplyDeleteWould you recommend MS Chouhan for problem solving in organic chemistry?

ReplyDeleteDada u recommended TMH for Maths.i liked the book.Should I also buy the Chemistry one or wait for GMP.?Also a review package has been given.Is it GMP?Upon it is written"REVIEW PACKAGE".Please advise.
ReplyDeleteHello Aman bro, I am struggling with thermodynamics concepts, specially the entropy portion and around, like Gibbs Free energy etc. So, does OP Tondon's theory covers that part? Please reply soon, only 2 months left for my preparation :)
ReplyDeleteHey!I just found out the 8th edition of lg wade is available at a price much lower than the 6th edition (the one that you have recommended). Are there any specific differences between the two? I am a JEE 2018 aspiriant and organic hasn't started yet in my coaching. It will start probably in next 15 days, so please help me to decide which one to buy.
ReplyDeleteHi sir, could you suggest me one or two book which covers almost whole theory (jee main and advanced, it will be ok if it's not having enough problems) for organic chemistry?
ReplyDeleteShould I use advanced problems in organic chemistry for jee by m s chauhan for questions in organic chemistry?
ReplyDeleteDid you do all the books
ReplyDeleteHi i m dhruv i m little bit confused
ReplyDeleteIs it necessary to refer all above
