What do you need as a good engineer? One should be sharp and analytical. There are lakhs of engineers passing out of the colleges all over India every year. Only the best can survive in the engineering industry. Engineering Courses are demanding. You are required to be smart to cover the huge syllabus, should be strong in analytical skills and good in maths. All of us know that most of the entrance exam questions are direct and those who can mug up the answers can score fairly well.
Now that you have completed the entrance exams possible, you should be working on your brain muscles to improve the sharpness. Nothing improves the sharpness of the brain than a good puzzle. All engineering aspirants should atleast buy one of the below books and work out the problems.You can buy these books online with upto 35% discount than in book shops.

The first book that I am going to recommend is a must buy book for all engineering aspirants. This book has a collection of 359 puzzles that was developed by a Russian Mathematician Boris A. Kordemsky. It is called The Moscow Puzzles: 359 Mathematical Recreations. Don't worry this book is not in Russian but in plain English. This book comes for Rs. 200 and you are sure to get a big dose of brain exercise by working out all the 359 puzzles. Buy this book online with 20% discount.
The second book is called My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles by Martin Gardner. This book has 70 odd puzzles with detailed solutions. Buy this book online with discount.
Another book from Martin Gardner is also equally good. It is called Entertaining Mathematical Puzzles. This has 60 interesting puzzles with detailed solutions. Buy this book online with discount.
Besides these books there are a couple of books from famous Indian Mathematician called Shakuntala. The top IT company Infosys used to ask puzzles from Shakuntala's books for campus recruitement. However now the Infosys recruitment question pattern has changed. Try some of the books. She has written 7 books.
Now a word on how to use the puzzle books: Read the puzzle a couple of times and then try to work out on a sheet of paper. Try to arrive at solution as far as you could do. Please do not think that you can solve all the puzzles in one go. Some puzzles will be easier than others. There will be always more than one way to solve a puzzle. The books mentioned above gives more than one solution and the best solution as well.
One final tip. It is always fun to solve the puzzles with a group of friends. Try these books and get your brain sharpened before the heavy duty engineering courses start. And yes, you need these skills when you sit for campus placements!
