Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good

Its a good way to prepare from 3rd semester for your exams

GATE 2021 Preparation Books: One of the topmost tools to prepare for any of the exams are reference books. They offer mostly all the insights related to the subject one is about to start. For GATE, there are a lot of books available in the market.

The right preparation book at the right time of preparation can be helpful to crack the exam. An essential thing is to be thorough with the concepts following a strong preparation strategy. Candidates can win half of the battle if they lead their preparation with an appropriate strategy.

A Handbook for Computer Science /IT Engineering

PSUs: CS/IT Practice book

GATE 2020: Computer Science/IT Solved Papers

GATE & ESE-2020: Engineering Mathematics

General English for GATE ESE and PSUs

GATE & ESE- 2020 Reasoning & Aptitude

Algorithms :   Cormen

Operating System :   Galvin

Theory of Computation  :  Ullman

Computer Networks  :  Tanenbaum

Computer Organisation  :  Carl Hamacher

Database System :   Korth

Compiler Design  :   Aho & Ull Man

Digital Logic  :  Morris Mano

Software Engineering   :  Pressman

Look into these books for more detailed information and tricks required for the exam!

Thankyou, Good Luck for everything ahead :)

Hey!

Gate exam is of 100 marks out of which 15 marks are for General aptitude and 85 marks are for subject course. so, if you give a little attention to aptitude then 15 marks are almost free. and to prepare for other 85 marks you can go throufgh some of the books, such as :

  • Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications by Kenneth Rosen
  • Digital Electronics by S. Salivahanan & S. Arivazhagan
  • The C Programming language by Dennis Richie
  • An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata by Peter Linz
