Introduction to algorithms by cormen

Question

I am just starting with algorithms and as I have no source specifically aimed for gate prep so I am gonna go ahead with clrs(introduction to algorithms). Can someone list the topics which are relevant for GATE ? I am facing a hard time deducing exact chapters from the book by looking at the gate syllabus. I wanna know in what chapters what subtopics are relevant for gate. For example, do I need to cover linear time sorting algorithms like counting sort ,radix sort and the algorithms for median finding .

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

First, try to complete video lectures available on Youtube by kiran sir (GATEBOOK).It will give you a good understanding of the subject, then read the syllabus from the book and try to solve previous year gate questions.
