    1. Hi

      Do you prepare for CSE?
      Am also in need of these books in list but am in Delhi preparing for the exam and i couldnt get any
      If you know the place where it could be bought do let me know..
      Try to buy the book as PDF is not that advisable and since these books are not that common in market a PDF is doubtful
