Discrete Structure By Dc Agarwal Pdf May 2026

Most Indian universities (AKTU, UPTU, GBTU, RGPV, and many state technical universities) follow a very specific syllabus for “Discrete Structures & Graph Theory.” D.C. Agarwal’s book maps perfectly to these curricula. Unlike foreign authors (Rosen, etc.), who cover too much breadth, Agarwal focuses on the exact topics needed for 70% of semester exams.

Title: Decent for basics, but beware of the PDF quality

Cons (specific to the PDF):

Verdict: If you need a free, offline, and basic resource for passing exams, the PDF will work. However, for clarity, practice, and reliable answers, I’d recommend Rosen’s Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications or a properly typeset e-book. Consider buying a used physical copy of Agarwal instead of relying on the messy PDF scans.

Tip: If you use the PDF, keep a separate notebook for rewriting diagrams and verifying odd-numbered problem answers with a teacher or online tool. Most Indian universities (AKTU, UPTU, GBTU, RGPV, and

Original engineering textbooks can cost between ₹400 and ₹800 ($5–$10 USD). While cheap by Western standards, this is a significant expense for many Indian students. A free PDF becomes an appealing, albeit illegal, option.
