by ramchander.iitb@gmail.com » Thu Jul 15, 2010 3:32 pm

1) NETWORK THEORY
This is the most important and basic subject for any one. if you are perfect in this
subject your 20 percent preparation is over.
1)Engineering Circuit Analysis -->Hayt
first read above book and solve both solved and unsolved example problems,
later solve chapter wise alternate problems which have answers.
For IES aspirants above book will not cover total syllabus, for Synthesis and
graphs fallow other books

2) EDC
1. Electronic Devices and Circuits & Analog Electronics-- Jacob Millman &
Christos C. Halkias (BLOCK PAD)
For IES aspirants above book is enough, for GATE aspirants above book is not
sufficient
2. Solid State Electronic Devices by Ben Streetman
This book is little bit tougher than First book if you understands streatman book
your EDC is over
3) ANALOG circuits
If you are good in network theory and EDC then this is very easy subject for you,
but this have huge syllabus
1. Electronic Devices and Circuits & Analog Electronics-- Jacob Millman &
Christos C. Halkias (YELLOW PAD)
2. pulse and digital circuits by Jacob Miliman and taub's (White pad)
3. linear integrated circuits by roy chowdhury (for OPAMPS)
For GATE aspirants i will prefer sedra and smith book it is very good book. (but
takes time to complete the book)
4) EMT
Every student will feel it is very tough, and commonly ECE students makes
mistake they neglects coordinate and Basics in electrostatics and magnetics, my
feel is that if you are good in above topics rest of the EMT you can understands
easily
1) Elements of Electromagnetics --> Sadiku
It is very good book. fallow this book very well and solve all solved and
unsolved example problems read from starting
for antenna basics also this book is enough

5)Digital
1)Boolean algebra and number system - kohavi
for other topics many good books are there but i prefers
2)Sequential circiuts - RPJAIN
3) Remaining topics MORIS mano and RPJAIN
4)Microprocessor Architecture, Programming & Application --> Ramesh S.
Gaonkar (This is the best book for 8085)

6) Signals and Systems

1) Signal and System --> Oppenheim and Willsky
Read above book and solve example problems and also solve chapter wise basic
prolems
2) Communication System by Simon Haykins 2nd edition (2nd edition is good
for signals and system also) This book for random process topic

7) Communications
1) Communication System by Simon Haykins 2nd edition
Read this book and try to solve back problems (even though u r unable to solve
problems no problem take solutions and look the solutions it will give idea how
to solve the problems )
For IES aspirants solving back problems not required , but GATE aspirants it is
required
and above book is good for Signals and System also

8)Control System
1) Automatic Control System -->B.C. Kuo ( i prefers this book)
2) Nagrath and gopal book is also very good book

9)MATHS
1) Higher Engineering Mathematics, Dr.B.S, Grewal
Read this book and solve only Example problems no need to solve exercise
problem (if you are interested then it is good)

And finally every one knows reading books is only not enough to get good ranks
but problems practicing is also most important, with problems solving not only
useful for getting good ranks and also it will improves your subject knowledge
also

for problems solving i will suggest

1) All shyam series books
2) RK KANODIA book (This is the most important)

above books are my suggestions only because i fallowed when i was prepared for
GATE , if you are comfortable with some other books fallow those books only ,
But one thing when you starts reading any book first love that book then start
read

I will post other subjects (IES) books later.

Thank you very much
