*****************STUDY PLAN FROM GATE AIR 8 Before starting solve 2 full-time papers Looking into the books, understanding

the concept & formulae Algorithms: #Horowitz & Sahani complete, exercise (yellow coloured front page) 6hr a day * 10 days Automata theory: Cohen quite easy & its good for theory as well as problems #Martin good for exercise problems & you can get the solutions over net Ullman good for theory & some critical problems & again u can get the ans & some exercise really really important, get the approach for solutions All three books 5hr * 10 days Discrete mathematics: (collect formulae, write them down on blank pages & go on pasting them over room walls, & read them daily) #Tata Mc - ROSEN solve as much as u can This single book to solve 5hr * 10 Graph theory - douglas west (first 4 chapters) Trembley & Manoher ( first 2 chapters are good) Overall 15 days Data organization & program control & structure first two points: (from start to end) #Tanenbaum (green colour) - complete (doorway to ur all data structures related part) (try to cover it parallely with data structure part from sahani) 8hr * 3 days C: Systems: Compilers #Ullman, sethi - Principles of compilers (esp parsers & its techniques) (very detailed explanation of every theory) 10 hr * 4 days Operating systems: (also covers virtual memory , segmentation, paging, I/O systesm) #Galvin complete & very good for synchronization (but get the problems from net or try to solve sync problems from different papers)

Tanenbaum MOS(modern operating systems) very good for os examples ( paging,memor y management,cpu scheduling & utilization) 6 hr * 4 hr Networking & distributed systems: #Forouzan Data communication & networking (do only networking part, & some algor ithms are sensibly explained in only this book eg swith spanning tree , execise pro blems, protocols) Also covers Internet structures 8 hr * 2 days #Tanenbaum very interesting & critical for problems esp data link & network laye r problems (essential for net problems) 8 hr * 2 days Databases: #Navathe: good for SQL( & for general query languages) & normalization part ( it includes some terrific techniques & tests to solve normalization problems) 5 hr * 2 days #Korth: ER model & Transaction management 6 hr * 1 day Computer Organization #Zaki pipelining & cache 10 hr * 1 day Stallings CPU design Henssy patterson also Digital logic 6 hr * 2days Morris Mano problems 350 hrs / 10 hrs = 35 days I suggest give 40 days to get thorough knowledge Have 2 phases
