It will be COPYRIGHT INFRIGEMENT.
Why do you want to scan and sell?

Just sell the books at old-book-shops, though you will get some money.

i want to scan them because if ever need them i will use the scanned version. i wanted to upload them so that if anyone wants to see some part of the book he/she can have that(no need of buying the whole book or searching anywhere else).

Thats straight copyright infringement. You could have bought a digital version in the first place.

Why do you want to scan the "engg. entrance exams" book, for later purpose ? It gets over with the entrance.
Internet is vast, compared to the books. You will get much more information from a simple search.

Its time to get into 1st-semester, assuming you're opting for Engineering..
All the best..

You'll still be doing it, won't you?
no, i was in doubt. i thought that there shouldn't be any problem if i upload some useful tricks from a book(as it would be a small part of the book).
sometimes it gets difficult to solve some special type of problems as they need a special trick or approach to be solved.

i disagree with you. engg. is closely related to wwhat you have learnt before admissions. And ideas of +2 arre much needed.
and vastness of internet sometimes becomes a disadvantage. i can bet that youtube ddoesn't has a video which fully justifies the syllabus of a chapter (from engg. point of view) of iitjee( even not
of nomenclature in organic)

Always small things are missed.

Sharing IS Caring. :p
But as far as i know you won't be needing those engineering books after exams. I sold all my books to my juniors.
Now they are enjoying HC Verma and O P Tandan ki organic. :mrgreen: :cool:

There's always a way to do that. Just start following the greatest uploaders over the net and get started :D

Entrance exams elevates you to the point where you have to beat the rest to get the cake(seat). The same very techniques are not used because you get better tools to solve those very problems. Its good to have an alternative, but never think that you're going to use those very tricks in GATE exam or even universities exams.

So, just keep the notes and if you're in the mood for social service then by all means please become the next Axxo or Mantesh :thumbs:
