You must have atleast one standard book for each subject and One previous years solved papers book.
Selection of coaching institute depends upon many factors like where do you live, what kind of facility you want from a institute, what is the purpose your to take admission in a coaching etc. So it is really hard to provide a institute name for an aspirant.
I can give some advise to you contact you previously qualified friends or check some facebook communities and page for getting knowledge about good coaching institute for you engineering branch as per your requirements.
