How to Get Through CS Entrance of GATE 2017

Good technical knowledge, Good understanding of Basic Concepts and Ability to apply the knowledge and concepts on variety of problems, these three basic things should be there within you to get yourself prepared perfectly for GATE CS Online. Now question is from where to get the problems or the MCQs, the answer is the problems are given at the back of every chapter in the reference books, you will need to solve those problems, may be not all of them.  Problems reveal lot of truth and clear our misconception and false convictions. And GATE has certain property that lot of Questions in it are based on concepts that are revealed in certain problems in reference books. So it’s really important to have a shot at the problems.

Discrete Mathematics:

Start with this particular subject because this is the subject from where Computer Science spreads out. Understanding of this subject is very important. The following are the reference books on this subject.

·    "Discrete math’s and its applications" By Kenneth Rosen: This is an excellent book for GATE preps. Lot of problems are given  at the end of every chapter plus answers are also given to odd numbered  exercises.

·      Book by Tremblay and Manohar: Contents in this book is hard to comprehend. You need to have your basics cleared before you attempt this book. This book is also a "must   read".

Algorithms:
Read this subject along with Discrete math’s or after you have completed discrete math’s. Only one book for this subject is more than enough for GATE. "Introduction to Algorithms" By T.H.Cormen et al: This book makes you understand every detail of Algorithms. So this book is a must read for GATE prep.

Data Structures:

Reading books on these subjects will not be of much help. Joining discussions on the subject on any social sites will be much helpful.

Theoretical Computer Science:

"Introduction to Computer Theory" By Daniel Cohen is the right book on this subject. Contents in this book are lucid. Also solving or at least attempting the problems in the exercises is a must.

Database Management Systems:

The database design part in korth is difficult to read this part with utmost concentration and you may require several readings before you begin to understand things.

Computer Networks:

C programming: You read this from "the C programming language" by kernighan and  Ritchie that is more than enough plus spend some time in actually
programming in C that is the best way you can learn C.
C++: I don’t know C++ much and I did not read anything for C++. Don’t be spoiled, you can read C++ completes reference if you wish to.

The above suggestions are in a nutshell through which you can get through the entrance GATE Computer Science 2017.
