GATE CSE Books: Check The Most Recommended GATE 2025 CSE Preparation Books

Here are some important books for preparing the GATE Computer Science Engineering paper: "Computer organisation and Design" by David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy "Operating System Concepts" by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter B. Galvin, and Greg Gagne "Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein "Database System Concepts" by Abraham Silberschatz, Henry F. Korth, and S. Sudarshan "Computer Networks" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and David J. Wetherall "Digital Logic and Computer Design" by M. Morris Mano "Compiler Design" by Alfred V. Aho, Monica S. Lam, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman "Theory of Computation" by Michael Sipser "Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach" by Roger S. Pressman "Computer Graphics with OpenGL" by Donald Earn and M. Pauline Baker. It's important to note that these are just a few recommendations and should be used as supplementary material along with other resources such as previous years' question papers, online tutorials, and practice tests.
