Priya as far as my knowledge is concerned currently best book for costing is of Parag Gupta. As per some of my friends, examination questions usually comes from his book only. Soft copy of his books and solutions can be downloaded from:
/forum/costing-amp-o-r-3rd-edition-parag-gupta-sir-86605.asp
His paper format books are already available in market.

If you are attending classes any where, just follow the book recommended by your teacher. If you are trying it on your own, try Sarvana Prasad's Cost Management. It has wide selection of problems and presentation is also easy on your eyes and heads. I think it is also a Paduka publication. But first check up with your costing teacher.
Mamta, go easy yaarExamination questions do not come frm Parag's book only. A cursory glance at all exams over the past ten years tells only two things - Most questions are repeats of old exams. Newer ones are from Colin Drury (at Final Level). Most of the books in the market have updated their books based on these exams and foreign authors.
