For all subjects-

Arrange Made Easy Class Notes As this will help in restricting scope of your study.
Dont much digress from these. Do extra topics but only if you find them in Previous
year questions. You can either get these from your friends or you can purchase (Cost is
Around 1100 Rs.).

Previous year Questions book (Both Objective and Conventional type) preferably of
Made Easy Publication as Arihant has too many of mistakes.

NPTEL Courses This is the best you can get. But be very selective or try to avoid in
times of examination as these require long gestation period. But these are Boon for
College goers. I wished we had this in our college time. As the course teachers here are
the best minds of subjects dealing with the best institutions of our country. So If you are
in college go through these courses as these will develop insight into subjects like
anything and they very well will eliminate any need of coaching. I used NPTEL for all
the subjects.

Paper I

Thermodynamics PK Nag or Cengel & Boles. Problems from PK Nag resemble

problems of Exam but C&B is excellent to understand the concepts.

Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Machinery Notes will be sufficient for Theory. R K Bansal
for Problems. Very critical subject you cant clear the exam without mastering it. It can
have weightage of 40% itself.

Power Plant Compressible Flow from PK Nag or C&B. Gas Turbine from V Ganeshan
(Very Selective). Steam PP from Power Plant by PK Nag (Very Selective).

IC Engine Mathur and Sharma. Avoid book to read too much. Only some 50 pages are
required to be read as everything else will be written in the notes. I did not read the book.

RAC Very Scoring subject especially in conventional. Try to read CP Arora for some
theoretical portion.

Heat and Mass Transfer Basically only Numerical based questions are asked. You can
read whatever book you have referred in your college along with Notes. I did not read
any book.

Paper II
 Theory of Machines RS Khurmi is more than sufficient. Problems are good and enough
in numbers.

Strength of Material You can refer any college book. I used Timoshenko but that is not
of much use for exam purpose. Better to use some Indian author book like Punamia or
Rajput for problem solving.

Machine Design Read V B Bhandari selectively for problems and theory. This is more
than sufficient.

Industrial Eng.- You can use University referred books and Coaching Notes. This is the
most fragmented subject. I did not read any book.

Materials Science I read Callister and wasted too much time disproportionately to its
weightage. Rather read Kalpak Jian, it has in concise and more relevant form.

Production Engg. This always gave trouble to me. Apart from Made Easy notes, PPT
Notes of Mondol Sir of Made Easy can be a good read. I tried to read from Kalpak Jian
but I could not complete it and I would suggest to avoid it in the beginning. For Casting
ME Class Notes are enough. For Welding one can read Swadesh Singh. For Metal cutting
and Forming PN Rao is also a good book but it remains inadequate.

GS & English

For English I read the book of English by Made Easy publication and this is a very good book
and I found it sufficient.
