Best Books for Placement Preparation

Best Books for Placement Preparation

Placement preparation is often overwhelming for a final year student as the syllabus for written test is vast and is spread across three major sections namely Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning.






Some companies also test the student’s technical knowledge in the written exam. Even though placement classes are provided by the college, it becomes imperative for a student to go back home and solve the questions from every topic. This is a must because the teachers can only cover the concepts and solve a few questions on it. While practicing, the student can know the specific type of question asked in a company’s placement drive and the time one takes to solve a question. But the major dilemma starts when the student has to select one from the many best books for placement preparation available in the market.


To make this job simple for you, we are compiling a list of the Best Books for Placement Preparation.
