Hi Abhishek,

In 1st semester specifically for computer science, go through "Let Us C". Iit's not tough to understand as the language of the book is very simple and you'll get in depth knowledge about the programming language. An answer key is also available with this book. You can refer to that and solve as many problems as posible. Another book that you can refer to for learning some basic concepts is "Fundamentals of Computers" by Narina Thakur.

For Engineering Mathematics, refer "Higher Engineering Mathematics" by Dr. B.S. Grewal. It will be useful for the first 4 semesters.

Then another important module that you'll come across in your 2nd year is Data Structure. Usually students find it difficult to understand. I'll give you the name of the book which I hope you'll find relevant enough. The name of the book is "Data Structure Through" by G.S. Baluja. It really helped me when I was doing my B.Tech.

For 3rd year refer "Object Oriented Software" Engineering by Rajiv Chopra as it will help building all the OOSE concepts and theory.

The above are some reference books that you can go through and I've listed the books of some important modules that you'll come across.

Hope this information will help you!

Hi Abhishek!

First yeat is commom for all, no specific book as such. I can tell you books for second year.

I don't know which courses you'll have in each semester, but these are the books that i used:

1) Fundamentals of Data Structures, Horowitz,Sahni and Mehta

2) Operating system concepts, Wiley publication

3) A. Ray, K. Bhurchandi , ”Advanced Microprocessors and peripherals: Arch, Programming & Interfacing”, Tata McGraw Hill

4) The Pentium Microprocessor, James L Antonakos

5) Software Engineering, a practitioner's approach - Pressman and Maxim

6) Pratt T.W, Zelkowitz ,‘Programming Languages: Design and Implementation’

7)The complete reference, C++

These are few imp ones.

Thank you :)
