Download Syllabus for all subjects of Section B Computer Science and Engineering

You have to appear/pass Six compulsory subjects and three optional subjects to be selected from any one group. I am myself AMIE CSE completed in 2013, My Optional subjects were CP 412 Computer Networks, CP 413 Operating Systems, and CP 415 Database Management Systems.

Planning and Strategy:- CP 412 Computer Networks is a very interesting and core subject of Computer Science, It very interesting and you must study thoroughly for a better grip on the computer science core fundamentals. My strategy for studying the subject Computer Networks is by buying a suitable textbook (I have studied Computer Networks by AS Tanenbaum. book) its a good book and sufficient for this subject. There are other books also recommended by IEI, which are also great. Check the books mentioned at the end of the post.

It covers the entire syllabus, read it thoroughly, You have to get & study the Previous 10 Years solved question papers book from Jain Brothers. Download excellent study notes (large database of study notes/lecture notes available on internet .ppt and .pdf files which are used by faculty in universities to teach their students) from following links for revision and lastly NPTEL Video courses for the subject. I am posting whatever resources I have with me. Here you can get a list of textbooks recommended by IEI, Study notes, Video Tutorial links, etc.
