WARNING:- Never use too many books.Always study from one or at most two good books.First study a chapter from a text book and only after finishing from text book, you should use any guide or reference books You should not buy all the following books.Buy one text book and one IIT-JEE guide in each subject. Go to a book shop and see all the books listed below.The one that appeals you more is the one that you should buy.

Recommended Books:

NCERT-books;
Concept of Physics-by H.C.Verma : Exercises and solved numericals of this book are of high quality;
Plane Coordinate Geometry- by S.L.Loney: Contains detailed treatment of the subject.But style of presentation is a bit old fashioned.
Objective Mathematics- by R.D.Sharma
IIT-Maths-by M.L.Khanna;
IIT Guides-Tata McGrow Hill Publication;
MCQ Maths-by Das Gupta(Bharti Bhavan Publication);
PHYSICS Part 1&2-by Resnik and Halliday;
Book by IRODOV for Problems in Physics.
Maths books by K.C.Sinha from Student's Friends Publication: Books by this author is meant to be used as reference books only.
Books and Guides of Arihant Prakashan:There are several titles available for IIT-JEE in this publication.Choose the suitable one that fulfills your requirement.Books in "Objective Approach..." series and "New Pattern IIT..." series are particularly good.
Books and Guides of MTG- Publication:There are several titles available for IIT-JEE in this publication.Choose the suitable one that fulfills your requirement.

Selecting text book for Physics: Advice

Many students ask to me "From which book should I study Physics?". The wording of their Question gives an impression to me that the availability of great number text books in Physics for IIT-JEE preparation has totally confused them.

My advice to all such students is very simple and straight forward: read basic concepts from any one good book. Do not read any topic from too many books. Start a topic or a chapter by reading it from NCERT first.Solve all problems contained in NCERT.Then do some problems of the type asked in entrance exams from that topic. After this, you will be able to judge for yourself if reading that topic/chapter from some advanced book is necessary or not. If you feel that what you learnt from NCERT is not enough to solve questions in competitive exams then (and only then !) read that topic from some other advanced book.For this you can use "Resnik and Halliday's book". Other books can also be used according to your personal preference.

To all,
I can't give you any tip on the number of hours that you should study.You should study as much as may be possible for you.

Use that book from which you are able to understand the concepts well.

If you think that you are taking a little more time in solving problems then you should practice more.Read lots of solved examples to know the tricks of problem solving.Do you know the theory well?

Snehajit,
you should start taking personal tuition from some teachers in maths and physics.

Punkaj,
both are good books. But don't use K.C.Sinha as your text book.You can never finish it.Use it only as a reference book to cover those topics which you are unable to understand from other books.

To all,

if your concepts are not very clear in any subject then it is better that you take personal tuition from some good teacher of that subject.
In physics for learning the theory, NCERT books are best. For problem solving skills, read all the solved examples carefully of both NCERT and H.C.Verma, do all the questions of NCERT.Do all the MCQ type questions from H.C.Verma do few numericals from this book too. Then start solving IIT-JEE type questions from books like "New Pattern IIT Physics-Arihant"

If you are studying well on your own. If you know all the theory and practice problem solving properly then you can clear IIT-JEE.
