Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is conducted to test the comprehensive understanding of various subjects in undergraduate in engineering and science and is designed to test the students on how well they know rather than how much they know. Keeping this in mind and preparing from books for GATE CSE (Computer Science Engineering), aspiring students should emphasize the importance of theoretical as well as practical knowledge of various subjects and concepts while studying from books for GATE CSE. With the competition being tough, you will have to make sure that you leave no stones left unturned.
We bring you the best books for GATE CSE that you can refer to during your preparation to simplify the preparation process for the upcoming exam and to develop your conceptual and analytical skills.

Finally, the books for GATE CSE (Computer Science Engineering) are not restricted to just the above-mentioned books. My advice is to go with the one that you find interesting and try to improve your basic concepts that would be very helpful in securing high scores.
Also, try solving previous years question papers. GATE CSE book “Practice Workbook – Computer Science for GATE“ from Arihant Publications includes last year solved papers.
