Check out some of the best Chemistry Books for JEE Main 2025 preparation. The article also talks about the most important topics, besides the best books for Chemistry in JEE Main. JEE Main chapter-wise weightage with previous year JEE Main paper link are also available here.
Here is the list of JEE Main chemistry books along with the names of authors/publishers that the candidates can refer for JEE Main 2025 preparation.
Best Book for JEE Mains Chemistry 2025 – One of the easiest of the three JEE Main subjects is Chemistry. However, choosing the best Chemistry books for JEE Main becomes somewhat difficult. The reason for this is that there are different books for each unit and for the theoretical and numerical part of Chemistry which are pretty good. To do well in this subject, you need a combination of multiple books which increases the confusion about the best books for JEE Main Chemistry.
Chemistry is divided into three parts - Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. Unlike the other two subjects – Physics and Mathematics, Chemistry is more about planning and less about applications and concepts. With strong fundamentals, proper planning, and consistency, candidates can easily score high in the subject.

Aman Goel, JEE MainTopper, and Shiksha expert say, “Chemistry is the subject that is generally ignored by JEE aspirants. The argument given is that the subject involves a lot of memorization. However, if the subject is studied in the right way, one will realize that most of the concepts of this subject are quite intuitive and logical. All it takes is the right understanding of the fundamentals”.

Q: Is it enough to learn from NCERT textbook to clear JEE Main 2026?
Q: Are NCERT books enough to prepare for JEE?
A:
The NCERT books alone are not enough to crack JEE because they will give knowledge only in concepts and make you understand that
But only if you solve some JEE level problems you may get the real feel of JEE exams.
The previous year papers help you with this. Also, do the mock tests if you are going to choose computer based test.
There is myth that pen and paper is easy that computer based. Actually it is true but the real fact is pen and paper is not lengthy as the candidates need to deal with OMR whereas in CBT the papers will be little lengthy as you need to just make a click.
So focus on whatever you read and solve many problems.
If you can then join better join a good IIT coaching center.
