Hi Gokul

Since you are in your second year, I would not advise you to stress yourself over GATE preparation. However, if you want to prepare, start with your present syllabus, then move ahead.

Keep revising the previous syllabus as you move forward to study the next year syllabus.

Here's a list of good books for GATE preparation:

Hope this helps!

All the best!
