GATE-2016

Engineering Combines The Fields Of Science And Maths To Solve Real World Problems That Improve The World Around Us. What Really Distinguishes An Engineer Is His Ability To Implement Ideas In A Cost Effective And Practical Approach. This Ability To Take A Thought, Or Abstract Idea, And Translate It Into Reality Is What Separates An Engineer From Other Fields Of Science And Mathematics.

Four Years Of Research Life Of Individual Decides Forty Years Of Future Of The Nation….Then 4lakh Engineers Of Research….????? That’s The Power Of An Engineering Student…

This Privilege Corral To INDIA And For INDIAN Students Due To IIT’s, Iisc… Whose Effort Made Engineering And Technology To Reach Indian’s,,,Due To Which Today INDIA Is Standing One Of The Top Listing Countries In The World In The Field Of Technology…..

That Knowledge Wisdom Society The Indian Institute Of Science (Iisc) And Seven Indian Institutes Of Technology (Iits At Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras And Roorkee) Jointly Administer The Conduct Of GATE…. Which Is The Graduate Aptitude Test In Engineering (GATE) And Is An All India Examination Administered And Conducted Jointly By The Indian Institute Of Science And Seven Indian Institutes Of Technology That Are Listed Below On Behalf Of The National Coordination Board - GATE, Department Of Higher Education, Ministry Of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government Of India.

I Admire That It Is Must Necessary To All The Engineers To Write This Exam As It Test’s The “REAL ENGINEERING SKILLS”.

Let's Now Analyze What Makes GATE So Important As A Career Deciding Factor.

• A Gateway To Extensive Practical Exercises, Various Case Studies, Simulation & Modeling Of Real Life Problems, Individual And Group Projects, Research Publications/Presentations In Journals/Conferences Etc.

• GATE Qualified Students Are Awarded Scholarship / Assistantship Of Minimum Rs 5000/- Or More Per Month In All Engineering Colleges / Institutes.

• GATE Qualified Candidates In The Engineering Disciplines Are Also Eligible For The Award Of Junior Research Fellowship At CSIR Laboratories.

• Foreign Universities & Industries Prefer GATE Qualified Candidates.

• Some institutions specify GATE qualification as mandatory even for admission of self-financing students to postgraduate programs. GATE qualified candidates are also eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories and CSIR sponsored projects. Top rank holders in some GATE papers are entitled to apply for “Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship” awarded by CSIR. Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist/Engineer.

• In recent years, various academicians have recognized GATE as being one of the toughest exams in its category. Some non-Indian universities like the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and some technical universities in Germany also identify GATE score as a parameter for judging the quality of the candidates for admission into their Masters and Ph.D. programs.

• Some management institutes like NITIE, Mumbai offer admission to Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering on the basis of GATE score.

• Admission in IIMs for the Fellow Programme in Management using GATE

PREPARATION TIPS FOR GATE

Regarding The Tips And Analysis For The Preparation As Per The Guidance Of Our Wisdom Team Members….

1). If The Preparation Is For One Year…Then Start Following C4 Formulae.

C- Concept …. Read The Concepts In The Manner Of “WHAT Is WHAT” Under Perfection.

C- Confidence…. Recall The Concepts Number Of Times Like “YOGI” Which Enrich Your Confidence.

C- Command…. Now Start Doing Exercises …. Problems…. From Multiple Sources And Think “WHY IT IS LIKE THIS…WHY NOT IN THE OTHER WAY”.

C- Creation …. By The End You...Yourself Create The Shortcuts To Solve The Problems Which Make You To Reach Mantle Of Success……

2). Collect All The Relevant Books For The Subject. This Collection Must Include The Books For Fundamental And Basic Concepts As Well As For Specific Problems, Guide Book For GATE And Previous Year Question Papers. 3). Always Try To Go Through The Standard Books Which Are Easily Available And In Which You Can Easily Understand The Concepts. This Will Improve Your Learning Ability. 4).One Month Before The Examination You Should Start Revising The Course As Many Times As Possible So That On The Day Before The Exam You Will Be Prepared Enough To Crack The Exam. 5).In The Revision Stage Concentrate More On The Selected Topics. 6).Time Management Is Important But Not At The Cost Of Answering The Paper Accurately. 7).Always Try To Attempt Only Those Questions In Which You Are Pretty Confident And You Know The Answer Very Well. 8).Read The Questions Carefully And Apply Proper Logic Before Marking The Answer. 9).Always Avoid The Negative Marking.

10).Do Not Attempt Unnecessary Questions In Which You Are Not Confident Because That May Cost You Much. 11).Do Not Try To Get Hold Of The Entire Syllabus Prescribed By GATE. A Selective Preparation Would Be A Very Helpful Concept And Should Be Learned Accurately. 12).Memorization Of Any Problem Without A Clear Idea Of The Concept Will Be A Futile Exercise. 13).I Feel That It Is Better To Have Flexible Time Plan Before Going To Exam And Have A Balance Of Mind. It Helps In Avoiding The Silly Mistake

GATE-2015 Paper Structure

The GATE examination consists of a single paper of 3-hour duration that contains 65 questions carrying a maximum of 100 marks. The question paper will consist of both multiple choice questions (MCQ) and numerical answer type questions.

In all the papers, there will be a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions carrying a total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA). In the papers bearing the codes AE, AG, BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, PI, TF and XE, the Engineering Mathematics will carry around 15% of the total marks, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 70% percentage of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper. In the papers bearing the codes AR, CY, EY, GG, MA, PH and XL, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 85% of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper. GATE 2015 would contain questions of two different types in various papers:

The examination for all the papers will be carried out in an ONLINE Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the candidates will be shown the questions in a random sequence on a computer screen. The candidates are required to either select the answer (for MCQ type) or enter the answer for numerical answer type question using a mouse on a virtual keyboard (keyboard of the computer will be

disabled). Candidates will be provided with blank paper sheets for rough work and these have to be returned back after the examination. At the end of the 3-hour window, the computer will automatically close the screen from further actions.

General Aptitude Questions All the papers will contain few questions that test the General Aptitude (Language and Analytical Skills), apart from the core subject of the paper.

XE Paper A candidate appearing in the XE paper has to answer the following 1. Section A – Engineering Mathematics (compulsory) 2. GA – General Aptitude (compulsory) 3. Any two of XE sections B to G The choice of two sections from B to G can be made during the examination after viewing the questions. Only two optional sections can be answered at a time. A candidate wishing to change midway of the examination to another optional section must first choose to deselect one of the previously chosen optional sections (B to G).

XL Paper

A candidate appearing in the XL paper has to answer the following Section H – Chemistry (compulsory) GA – General Aptitude (compulsory) Any two of XL sections I to M The choice of two sections from I to M can be made during the examination after viewing the questions. Only two optional sections can be answered by the candidate. A candidate wishing to change midway of the examination to another optional section must first choose to deselect one of the previously chosen optional sections (I to M).

1. Examinations for all the 22 papers will be conducted by an ONLINE Computer Based Test (CBT). The online examination paper will contain some questions for which numerical answers must be keyed in by candidate using the virtual keypad. Rest of the questions shall be of Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) type.

2. Biometric information (Photograph and Fingerprints) for randomly selected candidates may be captured before the start of the examination.

3. GATE 2015 examinations will be held during forenoon and afternoon sessions on alternate weekends (Saturday and Sunday) between 31st January 2015 and 14th February 2015.

Control Systems is another important subject that finds more priority in GATE exam. The students should learn about feedback systems, signal

flow graphs, Routh-Hurwitz criterion, Bode and Nyquist plots, PID

control, etc., to get good score. Most of the ECE students will concentrate

less on this subject by thinking tough; but by practicing one can get good

grip on the subject. The students can get good concepts and finds number

of problems from the textbooks like-

Linear Control Systems by B.S Manke.

EDC AND ANALOG ELECTRONICS

From the analysis of recent GATE exams from 2014, EDC and ANALOG ELECTRONICS are holding good weight in marks as well as the standard of questions. Diode circuits, BJT amplifiers, FET biasing and amplifiers, MOSFET physics and DC analysis, Frequency response, and Operational amplifier applications and wave shaping…must be concentrated more for better weightage. Also these topics are playing important role in interviews of IIT’s and IISc admissions for Mtech through GATE. The students can get good concepts and finds number of problems from the textbooks like-

Electronic Devices Electronic Devices and Circuits by Boylestead Solid State Electronic Devices by Benjamin G Streetman Integrated electronics by Milman Halkias Electronic Devices and Circuits by David A Bell Integrated Circuits: Sedra Smith, K.R. Botkar Electronic Principals by Malvino

Analog Circuits Electric Circuits by Joseph A. Edminister Electronic Circuit Analysis by Donald Neamen Electronic Devices and Circuits by Boylestead Micro Electronic Circuits by Sedra & Smith

Signals and Systems

This subject introduces all fundamentals and mathematical tools that are required to understand communication theory.

Good book to prepare for this subject is Signals and Systems –

Signals and Systems: Signals and System by Oppenham and Schiener Signals and System: by Schaum Series, Willsky & Nacob Signals and System by Sanjay Sharma

Communications

Prerequisite: Signals and Systems The perfect core subject with good weightage, and command in this subject shows many paths for future M.Tech cources. Signal to noise ratio of AM, FM, also superheterodyne receiver, fundementals of information theory, PCM, DPCM, matched filter receivers…are some important topics need more concentration.

Communications: Communication Systems by Simon Haykin Principle of Communication System by B. P. Lathi Principle of Communication System by Taub & Schilling Communication Systems by Carlson Communication Systems by Sanjay Sharma

Out of all the subjects, the above mentioned subjects will require more attention and a student can gain good score if he/she is able to the solve the questions in these subjects in addition to the remaining subjects. Digital circuits is another interesting subject which looks like an easy subject but requires more practice. The student should practice the problems on logic gates, logic families, combinational and sequential logic circuits, microprocessors, etc.

COMPUTER SCINCE &INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Every computer science student needs to be competent with programming, operating systems, backend and algorithmic reasoning to be successful in this fast growing & competitive technology. Subjects like Theory of computition, operating systems, c and data structures, DBMS and computer networks will help the students for making their concepts stronger and be successful not only in the GATE but also in the software industry.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical core subjects like Thermodynamics, strength of materials , design production and industrial engineering & operating systems can get good scores in GATE exam. Students has to solve more problems on those subjects.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

In Electrical engineering main subjects like POWER SYSTEMS, MACHINES,POWER ELECTRONICS AND MEASUREMENTS can get good score in GATE. In these subjects students has to command on equations.
