| Cormen covers entire GATE syllabus (and much more) in Algorithms as well as Data Structures. Language is simple for most part but some mathematics is required to understand the analysis parts. (This book is only for learning algorithms and theory of data structures and there is no sample programs given in it)

−
| This is a really good book in perspective of architecture as a simple view of how the actual hardware is organised is given. Apart from the classical confusing diagrams, this book has simple ones which is quite clear in its meaning. The explanation for pipeline execution and hazards are really good. This book is no longer in print, but you can get its pdf by clicking in the link provided. Highly recommended if you have time as this covers many of the other CS subjects as well.

If you are starting the subject, go with it. It is not recommended for last time reading. Keep making good notes if you read his book.

|No comments- This is the best. To really understand the working of C, you must read this book. If you find this book tough, that means you have to correct your concepts by talking to knowledgeable people. Many local books, skips difficult to digest concepts and make easy to read books- but to get everything you have to follow this book.

Algorithms[edit]

Book

Description

Introduction to Algorithms, C.L.R.S. Cormen covers entire GATE syllabus (and much more) in Algorithms as well as Data Structures. Language is simple for most part but some mathematics is required to understand the analysis parts. (This book is only for learning algorithms and theory of data structures and there is no sample programs given in it)
Fundamentals of Computer Algorithms, Rajasekaran, Sahni, Horowitz This book is Mini version of Cormen’s book , this cover almost everything with short discussions ,which is written in Cormen with more pages.

Use this book along with NPTEL lecture of Professor Naveen Garg . Actually if u see prof Garg’s Nptel upon DS you will find slides are taken from this book. Slides are available online in the following link:

http://ww3.algorithmdesign.net/handouts/

Design & Analysis of Computer Algorithms, Aho, Hopcroft, Ullman Another classic book for algorithms.

Databases[edit]

Book 
Desciption
Database Systems, Elmasri, Navathe Covers entire GATE syllabus and especially good for file structures and normalization
Database Systems, Connolly, Begg Covers entire GATE syllabus and is easy to understand.
Database Management Systems, Raghu Ramakrishnan Another very good book especially for Transaction management and Normalization.
Database System, Widom, Ullman, Garcia-Molina Another very good book.
Database System Concepts, Silberschatz Very good book but English is bit high standard

Compiler Design[edit]

Book 
Desciption
Compilers : Principles, Techniques, & Tools Aho, Sethi, Ulman, Lam One and only book. If you find the explanations tough, start looking at the given examples, they are easy to follow

Operating Systems[edit]

Book 
Desciption
Operating System Concepts, Silberschatz, Galvin Very good for learning theory in OS. English is good to understand. Writing style is pretty easy and fun. Enough for GATE
Modern Operating Systems, Tanenbaum The Book , but if you read Galvin it is ok , read Tanenbaum for more Knowledge. It contains great number of problems. Also includes some of theory that is not included in Galvin’s book.

Theory of Computation[edit]

Book Description
An Introduction To Formal Languages And Automata, Peter Linz Most recommended one for GATE
Introduction to Theory of Computation, Sipser Sipser is a quick and comprehensive guide. It is recommended to be read after you have grip on the subject.
Introduction To Computer Theory Cohen can be read if very good detailed analysis is required. SPOON FEEDING !
Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation n most colleges you will find this book as a Main book , but believe me within Cohen or Linz, if you read any one of them , Enough!

CO & Architecture[edit]

Book Description
Computer Organization Vranesic, Zaky, Hamacher
Computer Organization and Architecture : Designing for Performance, Stallings
Computer Systems: A Programmers perspective This is a really good book in perspective of architecture as a simple view of how the actual hardware is organised is given. Apart from the classical confusing diagrams, this book has simple ones which is quite clear in its meaning. The explanation for pipeline execution and hazards are really good. This book is no longer in print, but you can get its pdf by clicking in the link provided. Highly recommended if you have time as this covers many of the other CS subjects as well.

Computer Networks[edit]

Book Description
Computer Networks, Peterson, Davie Most recommended for GATE
Data Communication & Networks, Forouzan Good book with Basics clear
Computer Netwroks, Tanenbaum, Wetherall Kurose is best for Almost all fundamental concept with clear figure and very understandable manners
Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, Kurose One can not neglect the amazing book by tanenbaum. It contains everything in a very well written way. It is amusing and `it deals with issues in a manner you want to do. If you are starting the subject, go with it. It is not recommended for last time reading. Keep making good notes if you read his book.

Programming & Data Structures[edit]

Book Description
The C Programming Language, Kernighan, Ritchie No comments- This is the best. To really understand the working of C, you must read this book. If you find this book tough, that means you have to correct your concepts by talking to knowledgeable people. Many local books, skips difficult to digest concepts and make easy to read books- but to get everything you have to follow this book.
Data Structures Using C, Aaron M. Tenenbaum For most of the data structure concepts

Digital Logic[edit]

Book Description
Digital Logic & Computer Design, Morris Mano No Comment… One and only…

Information Systems and Software Engineering[edit]

Book Description
Software Engineering, Pressman Just see the GATE topics from this bible.

Web technologies[edit]

Engineering Mathematics[edit]

Mathematical Logic[edit]

Probability[edit]

Book Description
A First Course in Probability, Ross Sheldon ross’s book (1st course in Probability) is undoubtedly very good.But you have to read this book very deeply page by page.

Set Theory & Algebra[edit]
