Nithya, there are lots of related discussion threads on this platform. For the PMP, here is what I suggest you do:
1) Read through the Exam Content Outline (ECO), PMBOK 6th Edition (Including the Agile Extension as lots of questions are Agile / Hybrid based) and then read the PMBOK 7th edition (it is a small book). Alternatively, you can read through the ECO, PMBOK 7th edition and then go through the new Process Groups Practice Guide.
2) Go through Rita Mulchay’s Exam Prep book, I think its 11th edition now, but double check. This is one of the best resources for exam preparation.
3) After you are done, purchase the Simulator Package through PM Prep Cast and practice as much as you can. This is a great simulator and resource for questions that mimic the real exam and will boost your confidence the more you practice.
4) If you want a course to fulfill your 35 Hours then check Joseph Phillips on Udemy. He is a PMI ATP and great instructor or check out PMI's self-paced course in the PMI Store.
I downloaded pmbok 7th edition from pmi website, process group practice guide do i have to buy amazon, or can i borrow from any library or local PMI chapter.
I completed my exam in july and i failed, may be i didnot do enough preparation.
2nd time i want to go well prepared and want to pass.

Nithya, you have to ask your local chapter, I don't know. I personally buy the physical books. Given that this is your second attempt, I recommend you focus on Rita Mulcahy's prep book and practice exams from PMP Prepcast. Good Luck! Saving Changes...
Happy to share that I passed the PMP exam on my first attempt. After finishing the 35-hour course, my primary focus was understanding the PMBOK concepts and taking practice tests. One of the resources I used for additional practice was MyCertsHub, and it really helped me build confidence before the exam. Saving Changes...
