  • Apps - Mobile apps that may enrich the learning experience

• There are also scripts that provide certain useful features (WIP)

Guidelines

• This repository provides links to the required study material such as textbooks, solution manuals and reference books.

• Copies of the study material can be borrowed from the library while appearing for open-book exams. Moreover, printouts of the same can also be taken into the exam hall if required. Written notes are also allowed.
