having is incorrect

also..when you set a piece of information in a pair of commas..you treat that information as non-essential

This means "Not having published any books" is made non-essential

if you remove this part and see the sentence, sentence hardly makes impact

Although X didnot work hard, nor did he join coaching, he scored 700+

here..without "nor did he join coaching" sentence hardly makes desired impact

Correct version would be

Although X didnot work hard and didnot join coaching, he score 700+
