There are a variety of competitive exams besides JEE advanced. Some common ones being KVPY, JEE main, national standard examination in physics (NSEP), national standard examination in chemistry(NSEC) , Indian national physics olympiad(INPhO) , Indian national chemistry olympiad(INChO) , BITsat, and state entrance exams.
Except olympiads, the other exams can be easily cracked if you have prepared well for Jee advanced.
Jee main syllabus contains a few topics that are not covered in jee advanced syllabus. But covering them is no big deal. Just study ncert books for these topics and you are done. Same goes for KVPY and state entrance exams.

The problem comes with olympiads. You qualify to appear for INPhO and INChO. These exams require indepth knowledge of the topics. These are subjective exams and are much above the traditional jee level. These exams test your knowledge and not your speed(compare it with jee which focuses mainly on speed).
You need to have a firm grip on concepts and an idea of how to "write" rather than "tick".
Around 40 students are declared as "pass" in INPhO and INChO each. If you clear these, then you are eligible to appear for olympiad camps held in Mumbai. Clearing the camps let's you participate in international olympiads!!
Here are some books that are useful.

This year(2013) because the INPhO paper was extremely tough, the cutoff was very low(31/60). The details can be found at www.olympiads.hbcse.tifr
Do appear for NSEP and NSEC.
Cracking the above competitive exams boosts your confidence.
