It's not just math. Physics too. People from India who went through engineering entrance exams like JEE will have fond (or horrific) memories of "Problems in General Physics" by Irodov (https://archive.org/details/IrodovProblemsInGeneralPhysics/m...). Every problem in there was something to wrestle with.

Irodov is also a great resource when preparing for the USA Physics Olympiad. (Other, slightly easier but still good ones are Morin's books.)

The International Physics Olympiad and the IITJEE have a high correlation in terms of material required as well as people who do well, it is probably the Olympiad with the highest correlation between Olympiad performance and performance in the JEE.

I get PTSD everytime I go to my local library and see this book in the hands of JEE aspirants.
