Shivani,
This name is very close to the life of an engineer passing from RGPV. There are many views about this great effort done by someone and dedicated to young engineers.
Teachers hate ( exceptions are always there) and students love.
But we will suggest a mix of both, because passing a subject shivani is nice but for gaining knowledge books are only option. So here we suggest some DOs and DOnts about shivani,
DOnts,
1. Do not buy shivani in the start of semester.
2. Do not buy second hand shivani, try to grab a new one.
3. Dont rely on the shivani answers blindly, please cross check them from the books.
4. Never use a shivani book, only as QB is fine.
DOs
1. Do refer latest shivani for syllabus.
2. Have a good look to all questions of all units from shivani (only Questions I suggest)
Other then above, I would suggest to use only books for important subject(I would publish college to corporate mapping of subjects soon for CS) because whenever you will go to the interviews in future and will work in companies then you will feel how important is to read from a good book. So for good subjects please avoid shivani, just refer for questions.
