If it is for engineering student, do check the if you can buy a calci which can store formulas. When I was in engineering, having calculators which would store formulas were not allowed.
Best would be to go with the herd and buy what others are buying.
This way, in case your bro breaks his calci or for some other reason he needs to share a calci with someone else, he would have no problems with the functionality.

since you mention SCIENTIFIC calculator, 991MS [the one which ICHI metioned] should be perfect.


4. Is there any other calculator except this scientific calculator ?

I use the Orpat fx-5400M. I had been warned by people that there are lots of duplicates of CASIO in the market.

1. Check with your university/college as some of the models are banned.
2. Buy from a reputed shop. There are fake ones out there too.
3. CASIO CASIO CASIO. 991MS is the norm, 100Ms if your are tight on budget.
4. Whaaa!
5. Ask your classmates/seniors first before posting here.
