Dear Haribabu,

Firstly in class 9 ,study the normal NCERT syllabus or state syllabus thoroughly.

A good time to start with IIT-JEE prepartation is in class XI.

it is good to be strong with basics first until class X.

You can start H.C.Verma after class X

You are in IX standard most people start to prepare for IIT from XI class but the sooner the better. I myself started doing HCV in IX class and have always been proud of that decision. IX class syllabus is very less and you can easily give some time for extra studies but beware if you go on without a tutor you will soon be frustrated. First find yourself a good tutor and then only start doing HCV.

Best of luck
