According to the NEP rules set by the Central Board, new syllabus has been offered for University and College students. In this regard, the absence of a proper all- encompassing book catering to the specific needs of students has been felt.
Hence, it is our sincere effort to present before the student, a book that includes both the text as well as possible questions in the exact pattern and syllabi of the semester examinations. The texts have been included for preliminary reading and is supplemented by a through study of an exhaustive complimentary notes. It should be remembered that answers to questions have to both brief and complete, concise and to the point and this book attempts to address such a need of students preparing for the examination.
We are indebted to all our near and dear ones, our teachers and our colleagues for motivating us to undertake such a task.
