This is the most common debate.

JEE Advanced is notorious for asking questions from the footnotes of the syllabus.

Why it’s better: If JEE Advanced throws an "odd-ball" question (which happens every year), the student who studied Cengage has likely seen that exact flavor of problem in the "Advanced Level Exercises."

The strength of this book lies in its solved examples. They are not just simple formula-substitution problems. They range from easy to JEE Advanced level. If you solve the solved examples diligently without looking at the solution immediately, you cover 60% of your preparation.
