Description
Wiley Wiley Acing The Gate: Electrical Engineering, 2Ed (Reprint 2019) by Dr.Debashis Chatterjee, Dr. J. S. Lather, Dr. Lalita
Wiley’s Acing the GATE Examination in Electrical Engineering is intended to be the complete book for those aspiring to compete in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) in Electrical Engineering discipline. It comprehensively covers all the topics as prescribed in the latest GATE syllabus in terms of study material, quick reference material and an extensive question bank, complete with solutions. The book offers a number of useful features and the approach is logical concept building rather than only formula based, as offered by the other books generally published in this domain. Readers can find coverage of the basic building blocks for each of the subjects followed by the exhaustive solved examples, and then practice exercises with one and two marks questions. Lastly the set of questions from GATE previous years’ papers starting 2003 to current have been provided along with their solutions and explanations as a supplement to the formal subject coverage.
