BOOKLIST

This section contains the list of books based upon inputs from the students in their respective fields. Books here are pretty costly so you are advised to buy these books in India itself so that you can save money.
Select the courses you are planning to take and find the corresponding books for those courses. Some of the graduate courses have no textbooks, and the professors provide their material and references to conference papers etc. If you can't find the books corresponding to the courses that you intend to take or for more specific questions, you may request some of the Sanskriti members from your department for help.
