GATE - Tips and tricks

These tips may be helpful…

1. Collection of Material

  • Syllabus
  • All the relevant books for the subject. This collection must include the books for Fundamental and basic concepts as well as for specific problems.
  • Some books helpful for pre-requisite knowledge on the subject.
  • Some good guide books for GATE.
  • Previous years questions papers.

2. Take guidelines and remain in touch with some expert and GATE experienced persons.

3. Study the Syllabus and Previous questions papers properly

4. Start from the initial topics i.e. the basic ones

  • Widen your knowledge by reading as many books as possible.
  • Note down the basic concepts (definitions, unit, dimension etc.)
  • Note down necessary theories, formulae etc
  • Try to solve as many problems as possible from different books
  • Try to apply your own logics and tricks in solving problems and note it down
  • Conduct self tests based on various chapters
  • Continue the self tests and try to achieve a very good score

5. Practice more and more problems; discover more and more new tricks…

6. Follow the same procedure for the rest of the chapters and subjects.

7. Finally, go for self tests based on whole syllabus

8. Take help of others in conducting self-tests

9. Use to discuss your views with others, who are preparing for GATE, this helps you a lot.

10. On the exam day…you will be prepared enough, and no one can stop you?

A GATE Towards Prosperity

gate-exam-mtech-in-india
GATE is an abbreviated form of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering. The examination is conducted by the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT’s) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore on behalf of the National Coordinating Board-GATE, Dept of Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD).

GATE enables students seeking admission for various post-graduate courses like engineering, technology, architecture, pharmacy at various institutes in India. Its score is also considered by universities abroad for admission for research and post-graduate programmes. However, know that the significance of GATE score differs from college to college.

Additional advantage of appearing for GATE is, it opens the door for Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. Despite educational purposes, the GATE helps students in employment too. GATE score is considered by employers to evaluate intelligence of the candidate. Hence GATE’s importance has increased now-a-days.

GATE assesses students’ intelligence and capabilities perfectly, merely in three hours. Candidate appearing for test answers 150 objective-type of questions. Examinee chooses correct option from given four choices.

As GATE is an entrance for post-graduation studies in engineering, architecture, pharmacy and technology, the eligibility for the test is bachelor’s degree in either of the fields. Students appearing for the final or pre-final year of these programmes are also eligible. Additionally, master degree holders in science, mathematics, statistics, computer applications or equivalent course give GATE. Students appearing for final or pre-final year of such programmes are also eligible for GATE.

Besides, eligibility criteria allow students of second or higher year of the four year integrated master’s degree programme in engineering or technology. Candidates studying in third or higher year of five-year integrated master’s degree programme and dual degree course in same fields can appear for GATE.

Usually GATE is conducted on every second Sunday of February. Hence students can plan their studies in advance and appear for GATE with full of their capacity. However, marking system is little tricky. First 30 questions carry one mark each while; next 55 questions carry 2 marks each. The negative marking makes students alert and restrict them from guess-work.

GATE papers are disciplined as:

gate-subject-code

Paper marked as AG, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, IT, ME, MN, MT, PI, TF have questions on engineering mathematics carrying 20 to 25 marks.

Score beyond 800 is considered as extra-ordinary intellect. If you stand amongst first 100 ranks your seat in IIT is confirmed. A standard qualitative interpretation of the GATE score is as below:

a1

The GATE score is calculated as:

GATE score

where

GATE percentile

m = marks obtained by the candidate.

a = average of marks of all candidates appeared for the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.

s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.

Eligibility for GATE

GATE Preparation
Eligibility criteria for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering / Technology / Architecture / Pharmacy or those who are in the final or pre-final year of such programmes.
  • Master’s degree holders in any branch of Science / Mathematics / Statistics / Computer Applications or equivalent and those who are in the final or pre-final year of such programmes.
  • Candidates in the second or higher year of the Four-year Integrated Master’s degree programme (Post-B.Sc.) in Engineering/Technology or in the third or higher year of Five-year Integrated Master’s degree programme and Dual Degree programme in Engineering/Technology.
  • Candidates with qualifications obtained through examination conducted by professional societies recognised by UPSC/AICTE e.g. AMIE (Associate Membership of Institution of Engineers) as equivalent to B.E./B.Tech. Those who have completed Section A or equivalent of such professional courses are also eligible.

GATE Results

  • The GATE result is declared every year on the day as per decided by the GATE authority. GATE 2007 result will be announced on March 15, 2007 at 1000 hrs. at GATE offices of IITs / IISc. It will be also available on the web site.
  • The score of the qualified candidates shows their All India Rank and Percentile Scorein the discipline paper chosen by the candidates.
  • GATE 2007 score is valid up to March 31, 2009.
