One book that I consider to be of the highest quality, is the book Control Systems Engineering, by Norman Nise. I believe it stands on the same high grounds as the books by Ogata, Chi-chong Chen, Dorf and Bishop etc.

In addition, if you want a good companion book for your studies, with a lot of solved examples in Matlab, you can check out my attachment.

Book An Introduction to Control Theory Applications with Matlab

Hi Avinash,

I am not sure what you are looking for.  The two basic courses in control systems are  classical control (frequency domain) and modern control (state space methods). Then there is nonlinear control systems and different design methods. There are lot of excellent books for linear systems but it all depends on your taste (theoretical or mixed). Let me know if you need further information.

with regards,

Naveen

From introductory to intermediate level, this is the best one I've ever seen:

http://www.amazon.com/Process-Dynamics-Modeling-Babatunde-Ogunnaike/dp/0195091191

All of these books highly recommended:

1. Modern Control Engineering by Katsuhiko Ogata

2. Modern Control Systems by Richard C. Dorf 

3. Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems by Gene F. Franklin 

4.Control Engineering: A Modern Approach by Pierre R. Belanger

Automatic control system by Farid Golnaraghi is also a good reference on modern control

Sir actually I want to start from very basic.Firstly linear and then non linear.

Currently I am referring I J Nagrath

Hi Avinash,

I being a student of Prof Gopal, also used the book by Nagrath and Gopal. To begin with, it is a good book but I highly recommend one of above mentioned classic book. In addition, there are two very nice books available (free download) at

Beginning Level-

Modern Control Systems by Ogata.

Control Systems by M Gopal (McGraw Hills)

Then-

Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems by Gene F. Franklin
