| 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 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:
