In Uncategorized on June 2, 2010 at 8:43 am

EE paper now a days requires covering of almost entire syllabus.

The approach is to read from the textbooks and practice their solved
examples and previous year papers of IES(both E&T and EE) and CSE.
Also most of the topics are not covered by the single book. I have also
given the reference sources. Stick to the syllabus for all the topics.

Paper I

1. Circuit Theory: A. Chakrabarti(Dhanpat Rai)

2. Signals and systems: Oppenheim and Willsky. For DFT/FFT, refer

to Oppenheim’s book on DSP. For better coverage of z-transform, refer
any Indian author.(I had Sanjay Sharma’s book)

3. E.M. Theory: K.D. Prasad. For Smith chart and other minor topics
left refer Jordan & Balmain.

4. Analog Electronics: J.B. Gupta. For topics like feedback amplifiers

and any other topics not covered well in that book refer Sedra &
Smith.

5. Digital Electronics: M.Morris Mano

6. Energy Conversion: Ashfaq Hussain. For topics not covered in

detail refer Fitzgerald.

7. Power Electronics and Electric Drives: PS Bhimbra

8. Analog Communication: (a) Simon Haykin (b) BP Lathi (c) Singh

and Sapre(TMH)

Paper II
1. Control Systems: Nagrath & Gopal

2. Microprocessors and Microcomputers: RS Gaonkar

3. Measurement and Instrumentation: AK Sawhney

4. Power Systems: (a) Nagrath and Kothari (b) CL Wadhwa

5. Power System Protection: (a) CL Wadhwa(only chapters of psp,

circuit breaker) (b) Badriram &Vishwakarma

6. Digital Communication: Same as Analog Communication. For

Data Networks and 7-layered architecture I referred Forouzan(TMH).

Mathematics book list

A lot of aspirants have asked me the best books to refer to for

Mathematics Mains preparation. Almost all of the questions asked in
the paper are solved examples from standard text-books. So it is
important to identify the correct set of books for your preparation.
Here I am providing the list of books which I referred to during my
preparation. I was able to attempt all the questions during both my
attempts.

Paper – I

1. Calculus - Shanti Narayan – Course on Mathematical Analysis

(S. Chand)
2. Analytic Geometry - Shanti Narayan (S. Chand)
3. Ordinary Differential Equations - M.D. Raisinghania (S.
Chand)
4. Statics - Krishna Series
5. Dynamics - Krishna Series

Paper – II

1. Algebra - (a) Khanna and Bhambri (b) I. N. Herstein

2. Real Analysis - MD. Raisinghania – Elements of Real Analysis
(S. Chand)
3. Complex Analysis - Krishna Series
4. Linear Programming - Krishna Series
 5. Partial Differential Equations- M.D. Raisinghania + (Some
portion of book on Boundary Value Problem by S. Chand)
6. Numerical Analysis - Jain and Iynger
7. Fluid Dynamics - M.D. Raisinghania
8. Mechanics - Krishna Series (Rigid Dynamics vol.-1 and Vo.-II)

For Linear Algebra and Vector Analysis, I could not find any books
relevant to the exam. So I referred to Brilliant Tutorials material to
practice questions.

In the next post, I will provide the detailed strategy for preparation
and attempting the paper.
