Ramprasad, the books that you need to refer is totally based on the branch paper that you are going to give. Mostly, the standard books that we have in our Engineering or college syllabus are best. It would be better if you mentioned which gate paper you are going to attempt like chemical, mechanical, electrical, etc.
Moreover, I would suggest you not to depend on the reference books available online which contain all the subjects in one book. Those books are good for revision and last minute preparation only. If you have enough time and want to prepare well, then you must have seperate books for each subject.
For this year IIT Delhi is going to set the paper. So, for example, if you have opted for chemical engineering paper, then find out the books used in the IIT Delhi syllabus and refer them.

Kindly mention the details about the paper you are giving for more help and guidance.

Hope this helps!

Dear Aspirant,

Candidates are now looking for the best preparation methods for the GATE exam. One of the best ways to boost preparation for any entrance test is to scan and research the best available books which can cater to your needs correctly. Here are some of the important aspects of choosing a book for your GATE exam.

First of all, it should be easy for candidates to read and understand the books. If the concepts and chapters are explained in a simplified way, the candidates will be able to understand without much use of the technical terms. This will allow candidates to have a deeper understanding of the issues.

Since the GATE 2020 summary consists of many complex pages, the books should try to keep the interpretation clear and descriptive. The books should have accurate information on the chapters and topics discussed in the GATE syllabus.

Candidates should not use any books with misleading information. Applicants are more likely to retain what they have learned if there are diagrams in help topics and chapters in the textbooks. The best books to use during training are those with a simple language.

Let's see the best books for GATE:

• Architecture- Hamacher
• Algorithm- Cormen
• Operating System- Galvin
• TOC- Theory of Computation- Ullman
• Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications by Kenneth Rosen
• Higher Engineering mathematics by B.S. Grewal
• Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig
• The C Programming language by Dennis Richie
• Classic Data Structures by Debasis Samanta
• Computer Architecture – A Quantitative Approach by Hennessy and Patterson
• Computer Organization and Embedded systems by Carl Hamacher
• An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata by Peter Linz
• NPTEL lectures by Kamala Krithivasan
• Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools by Aho & Ullman

• Digital Design by Morris Mano
• Digital Electronics by S. Salivahanan & S. Arivazhagan
• Operating System Concepts by Galvin
• Modern Operating System by Andrew Tanenbaum
• Operating Systems by Stallings
• Database System Concepts by Henry. F. Korth
