Best for starters , first timers & people who just want one book to Practice
Has the compilation of all DI questions from all the National MBA exams from the past (helping you to avoid the headache of skimming through the net for them and segregate them).
But if you look at strategies to crack, you might be a little disappointed. But by far best book compiled for DI.
