All the Best... "

I agree with all the books and if you see most of the books are ones that you might have read in AeSI syllabus. GATE is all about basics, so keep them strong and do tons and tons of problems!! That's the basic secret of cracking GATE!!

So what do you think? what are the other books that you read?Is the list missing something? Do tell me in comments.
