Abstract Algebra Dummit and Foot (Try to solve its exercises)
Linear Algebra Linear Algebra Done Right (One of the best book). You can also try Hoffman Kunze but it is very dense and useful only for theoretical purposes. Real analysis- A Basic Course in Real Analysis by S. Kumaresan. Lots of examples and exorcises will definitely clear your concept. After finishing it, you can try Principles of Mathematical Analysis by W. Rudin. It is famous for its exercises. Complex Analysis- Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable by S. Narayan is undoubtedly good. ODE and PDE: Both by MD Raisinghania and also for PDE you can try Amarnath.

Candidates should follow a balanced approach. No doubt books help in conceptual clarity, and a candidate can study in detail. On the other hand, online platforms provide lectures through video, have updated notes, cover current affairs as well, etc. It also depends upon the candidate's feasibility and which method he or she is comfortable with for the preparation. Both books and online resources have their own importance. So, a balanced approach may benefit in the preparation.
