Unequivocally the best book for physical chemistry as it's not only useful for JEE Mains+ Advanced, Boards and NEET but all the way as a first year undergraduate in college too- so even better than Cengage, OP Tandon and P Bahadur in that regard.

This book is 100% value for money with its numerous concepts, numericals and real life examples. Some concepts like application of statistical thermodynamics are missing in the newer versions so I'd definitely say go for slightly older versions. ✨
