I would suggest following books:
Physics: H C Verm Problems in IITJEE by Sashi Bhushan Tiwari
Mathematics: Coaching Materials
Chemistry: Organic – MS Chauhan, Inorganic – Cengage, Physical Chemistry – Neeraj Kumar

My primary focus is on JEE Advanced 2021 and scoring good marks in exam. I would like to do Engineering from any of old IITs (Bombay or Delhi). I will pursue a career in Computer Science courses.

If you focus on your target and put all your efforts you can achieve your goal in any situation. When you are prepared for exam, you should not leave anything behind. If you are confident then you can handle any situation and circumstances.
