Answer is: NCERT is necessary, but not completely sufficient.

For Inorganic Chemistry, NCERT is your most important resource. Many JEE Main questions are directly based on NCERT facts, tables, examples, and exceptions.

In Organic Chemistry, NCERT helps you build a strong foundation, but you'll also need plenty of question practice to apply concepts confidently.

For Physical Chemistry, understanding theory from NCERT is useful, but solving numerical problems is what truly prepares you for the exam.

Think of NCERT as the foundation of a house. A strong foundation is essential, but you still need walls and a roof. In JEE Main terms, those are PYQs, mock tests, and quality practice questions.

If your goal is a decent score, NCERT can take you a long way. If you're aiming for a top percentile, combine NCERT with consistent problem-solving and revision.

Preparing for JEE Mains 2026 requires the right strategy and study material. Choosing the Best books for JEE MAINS is important for building strong concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Instead of using too many resources, focus on a few reliable books. NCERT is essential, especially for Chemistry, while good reference books help in Physics and Maths. Practicing previous year questions and mock tests improves speed, accuracy, and time management.

With consistent revision and the right resources, selecting the Best books for JEE MAINS can greatly improve your chances of scoring well.

If we understood the concepts and theory in NCERT book completely even a single word, then it can be said that we can score 200-240. We have to gone through each and every word of NCERT including all reactions, formulas, solved/unsolved examples, exercises.

Questions are generally based on NCERT syllabus. I.e. questions are directly/indirectly taken from NCERT. Sometimes the questions looks difficult or out of syllabus but if we try to solve it and apply our mind a little bit that what we learnt from NCERT.

But along with NCERT , we should use some more reference book for more practise and should solve previous year papers also. It will increase our confidence and we also will know the type of questions.

NCERT is very important, especially for Chemistry. Never neglect its exercise as most of the students do. Solve NCERT Exemplar also. Almost 60-75% of chemistry questions are from NCERT. Inorganic Chemistry to has most questions from NCERT.

Here is a list of some reference books of chemistry:

  • Organic chemistry by Morrison Boyd.
  • Organic chemistry by O.P. Tandon.
  • The modern approach to chemical calculations by R.C. Mukherjee.
  • Numerical Chemistry by P. Bahadur.
  • Concise inorganic chemistry by J.D.Lee. If you are also going to coaching they will help you but if you are not going to coaching and preparing yourself then read S L Arora for physics, R D Sharma for maths, and ABC for chemistry.

Do give as many mock tests as possible.

Only reading of NCERT would not help much.
