Hi Amit,
I am currently confused because I am planning to take the SCBCD exam and I am not sure about what needs to be read and understood from the exam perspective.
If you need a book, I definitely recommend Kathy and Bert's Head First EJB. It will be the only book you need to prepare for the exam.
If you dont want to buy a book, I guess you better read the EJB 2.0 specification, together with Valentin Crettaz's spec-objectives mapping.
You can find them from the SCBCD link:

Also I am also not sure if I am eligbile to give the exam since Sun certifications taken before August 2003 expire in two years. My SCJP certification according to that will expire in May 2004. I am not sure if I will be eligbile to give SCBCD if that happens unless I do a re-certification.
SUN has changed its certification policy. You can re-request your certification kit that WITHOUT an expiry date.
Details can be refered to:
