Hello

The JEE syllabus mainly covers Physics, Chemistry, and Math from NCERT Class 11 and 12.
You should follow NCERT first because it builds the strongest foundation for all three subjects.
For a deeper understanding, use books like H.C. Verma (Physics), Cengage (Maths), and O.P. Tandon / M.S. Chouhan (Chemistry).
For practice, solve JEE Main PYQs to understand the exam pattern.

You can check the updated syllabus of JEE mains from here: SYLLABUS.
