GATE Study Material for CSE and IT 2010 October 9 tags: Advices, GATE by Zahid In a survey conducted on Inspire n Ignite regarding GATE study material we received over 600 responses and not to be surprised most of them were for Computer Science (CSE). This is the result of contribution from lots of people, most of the books are really standard and most of friend shared the same books. I would like to acknowledge few of the for sure as their effort is enormous and almost everyone gave the list of all the books. Specially Amol Warade for his detailed information based on syllabus. The contributors for this are Ashish Gupta, Amol warade, Jainendra shukla, Arti Patidar, Partha Sarathi Sen, Kaushal Kishore, Dinesh, Ilthsafg and many others who gave only two of three names. But the names mentioned above gave a full list of books needed to prepare for GATE. Whole Inspire n Ignite community is thankful their efforts. Do visit GATE study marital to learn about how to use multiple books for GATE preparation. The reference books for GATE CSE and IT students are below.
