Recommended Books for
Engineering Mathematics in GATE
Engineering Mathematics, as a subject, is very much relevant to the GATE exam as
the weight-age given to this subject has been consistent over the years in comparison
to other subjects. Every year you can find the weight-age of this subject to be around
15 marks. Also, it is easy to score the maximum in Engineering Mathematics as
compared to other subjects. This article gives you a list of Books for Engineering
Mathematics in GATE that you are advised to refer to. Engineering Mathematics
combined with General Aptitude are the most scoring sections of GATE Exam.
Preparing well for these sections is crucial in your to get admission in an IIT, IISc or
PSU.
