THE INSTITUTE OF MOTOR INDUSTRY ( I )
SYLLABUS FOR STUDENTSHIP
Note: Any single textbook is not available for the subject of the syllabus. A very wide range
of books are published on all aspects of the various subjects of the syllabus and there are
too many to list. No one text book covers an entire syllabus. Therefore, in order to provide
an adequate coverage for each syllabus, it will be necessary to consult several textbooks.
Anyway we have recommended some authors books for reference which covers maximum
syllabus.
