How to prepare for exam and what subject to be taken first???
How to prepare for exam and subject to be taken first???
I want to prepare for gate 2015 but my concepts are weak so give some name of books from which I can prepare for electrical engineering gate
one should only focus on a single or maximum two books while preparing for GATE.You provided a large list…this will only confuse students.
im in 2nd year of engineering in electrical branch which books can be bought to start the preparation for gate 2016?
Which is a better book in terms of explaining in indepth about the machine in a simplified language? electric machines by fitzgerald and kingsley or the same by smarajit ghosh. I reviewed both and they both seem to be good, but which one is the better one? would be grateful if u could answer soon.
Fitzgerald & Kingsley is a better book than the latter. Explanation is more crisp…
Dear Sir,
I am persuing AMIE Electrical engineering and currently working as JE in PGCIL.I want to join IITs or IIS to persue MTech.
