The Black Book: Problems in Mathematics by Vikas Gupta and Pankaj Joshi

What The Black Book is

JEE Advanced aspirants after a full-syllabus book. A problem collection, not a course.

What is inside

• Hard problems across the syllabus in JEE Advanced formats, with solutions
• Known for its integer-type and multiple-correct sets

How to use it in a JEE plan

• Topic by topic after the topic is complete
• Attempt before reading the solution; log the method, not the answer

Is there a free PDF of The Black Book?

No legal one. The Black Book is a paid publication of Shri Balaji Publications. The “free PDF download” links on archive and Telegram sites are pirated scans, often of an old edition with pages missing, and the publisher has no obligation to keep them accurate. Competer does not host or link them.

What is free for the same purpose: Official JEE Advanced papers, free in the PYQ section. If you need the book itself, the printed edition is the honest route; it is also the one with the current edition’s corrections.

Where to get the printed edition

Competer stocks coaching modules, PYQ sets and notes for JEE and delivers across India with cash on delivery; the cards below are pulled live from the store, so a card means the item is in stock at that price today. If this book is not on a card, the store does not carry it right now; it is available from the publisher and the usual booksellers.
