Though there are thousands of coaching institutes today that offer to help you in your preparations for JEE, there are still many who make it on their own. You'll have to choose the right kind of books, but instead I'll advice you to take DLP of some good coaching institute. The advantage of that is that then you'll know on which topics you have to focus more and which topics are not so important. You'll have a sort of strategy with you. The books are designed in such a way that they prepare you thoroughly, go for ALLEN or AAKASH if you want. Also take the Test Series, that would help you know your position at the national level and let you know how much you have prepared.
Best of luck!
