Study materials helped me to become Scientific officer at BARC



According to my opinion

During my preparation days for BARC, I found that proper time management and good choice of study material helped me a lot. So don't waste your valuable time to read low grade books and material. Always try to prefer and read only standard books and materials. Seeing tough competition in interview like BARC, you should have something more than others. Everyone reads same books, material and even take same coaching but success come to only those who make their own effort. During interview, my practical knowledge and practical aspects of theory, standard definition helped me to crack interview. focus on your subjects and try to learn its piratical significance in industry and current demand. use google for your doubts. Vocational training and projects play important role to understand real meaning of subjects.

Books and material i used 

i used some good books and materials. I found that every books has some good thing. writers focused on some topics in their books very well according to our needs. I categorized those topics according to books and subjects here. Some books are highly recommended to buy it as soon as possible, but do not buy all these books, you can download its pdf versions. I wrote here which books you should purchase and which to download only.

Electronics devices
1.    streetman and banerjee: you should buy it, i contains all the topics according to your theoretical and practical needs. good book for everything about semiconductor, special focus on MOS capacitors, metal semiconductor junction, opto electronics devices and CMOS fabrication.
2.    Electronics Devices by Thomas L. Floyd: download its pdf, it contain practical applications and troubleshooting of all devices.(for interview only)
3.    Introduction to semiconductor materials and devices by M.S. Tyagi : pdf only, good book for tunnel diode, breakdown mechanism details, quantum mechanics details.(for advance reader only)

Analog Electronics
1.    sedra smith microelectronic circuits : you should buy it, best book for analog electronics. It contain everything (theory). special focus to all devices and circuits. but you need to read only those topics which are asked in competition.
2.    Made Easy Analog Notes by Iftekar Sir: cover every topics in short to revise but for BJT and MOS amplifier, you should read Sedra. special focus on diodes, op amps, BJT basics.
3.    Practical Electronics for Inventors by paul Scherz : pdf only, practicle application of analog circuits. special focus to understand pactical electronics.
4.    Make Electronics by charles Platt: pdf only, good for those who do not understand soldering, ICs and practical connections of circuits. 

Electromagnetic Field Theory and Antennas
1.    Principles of Electromagnetics by Sadiku: buy it, good book for beginning to the subject.special focus on vectors, EM wave propagation, electric field. transmission line is not so good but smith chart is well defined.
2.    Nathan Ida Engineering Electromagnetics: pdf only, good book for basic and advanced understanding of subject. special focus on practical application of theory, Electromagnetic Induction, transient analysis of transmission lines(not give in Sadiku), if you are prepared for BARC interview then it really help you.
3.    Antenna by J D kraus: pdf only, good for only basics of antenna, special focus on antenna array, parabolic reflector. read it only for these topics.
4.    Antenna by K D prasad: buy it, good for everything of antenna, special focus on practical antennas eg. helical, slot, yagi uda, horn, dipole, hertzian and travelling wave antenna.
5.    Made Easy notes by VSR suresh sir: for transmission line and electric and magnetic field only.

Control System
1.    Automatic control system by B.C. kuo: buy it, good book for transient response, steady state errors, mathematical modelling. special focus on controllers and compensaters.
2.    B S manke: for block diagram and state variable.

Signal and System
1.    Signal and system by oppenheim: buy it, best book for sinal and system, no other book or material needed.
2.    Made Easy notes by Vishnu sir: best teacher of signal and system, even notes is sufficient for subject. according to me for signal you should read in Made Easy.

Network analysis
1.    Engineering circuit analysis by Hayt and kemmerly: buy it, best book for network, it covers theory, numerical and practical all in single book.special focus on problem solving skills.
2.    Fundamental of Electric Circuits by Sadiku: I do not read this book, but heard from everybody this is also good book as like Hayt. Special focus on numerical.

Best of luck
