2. Structure of GATE?
The GATE is held every year on the second Sunday of February, across the country
in over 100 cities. At present nearly 60,000 students write GATE every year.
Candidates can choose a single paper of 3 hours duration to appear in GATE from the
discipline papers shown in the following Table.

GATE Results
The GATE result is declared every year on 31 st March and the score of the qualified
candidates shows their All India Rank and Percentile Score in the discipline paper
chosen by the candidates.
a. Score card will be sent only to the qualified candidates. No information will be
sent to candidates who are not qualified.
b. The GATE score card is a valuable document. Care should be taken to
preserve it. Additional Score Cards, (upto a maximum of two) will be issued
on payment basis only once.
d. The score card of the Qualified Candidates will include GATE Score, Percentile
Score and Rank.
i. GATE Score
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this
scorecard, in the current year.
K1 and K2 are determined respectively from the mean and standard deviation of
marks of all candidates across all papers and years since GATE 2002.

ii. Percentile Score
The percentile score is not the same as percentage of marks. The percentile
score of a candidate shows what percentage of candidates, who appeared in
the same paper in GATE 2005, scored less marks than him/her. It is
calculated as follows: Let N be the total number of candidates appearing in
that paper and nc be the number of candidates who have the same all India
rank c in the same paper (there can be bunching at a given all India rank).
Then all the candidates, whose all India rank is r, will have the same
percentile score P, where
The percentile score in each paper is calculated as follows: Let N be the total number
of candidates appearing in that paper, and nc be the number of candidates who have
the same all India rank c in the same paper (there can be bunching at a given all
India rank), then all the candidates, whose all India rank is r, will have the same
percentile score P, where

candidates shows their All India Rank and Percentile Score in the discipline paper
chosen by the candidates.
5. GATE Eligibility :
Are you the right one to apply for ?
6. GATE Pattern :
The pattern of GATE examination has been CHANGED from 2005.
Main Papers
The question paper will be fully objective type for a total of 150 marks divided
into three groups:
iii. Group III: Question Numbers 81a to 85b (10 questions) will carry two
marks each. Each number in this series (81,82,83,84,85) will have two
sub-questions (a & b). The answer to part 'b' will be linked to the
correct answer to part 'a', as described below in Section (e)(vi).
a. Each question will have four choices for the answer. Only one choice is
correct.
b. Wrong answers carry 25% negative marks in Q1 to Q80 and Q81a, 82a, 83a,
84a and 85a. Marks for correct answers to Q81b, 82b, 83b, 84b and 85b will
be given only if the answer to the corresponding part 'a' is correct. However,
Q81b, 82b, 83b, 84b and 85b will not carry any negative marks.
c. Papers bearing the code AG, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, IT, ME, MN, MT, PI, TF
will contain questions on Engineering Mathematics to the extent of 20 to 25
marks.
d. The multiple choice objective test questions can be of the following type:
a.
i. Each choice containing a single stand-alone
statement/phrase/data.
Example:
Q. The time independent Schrodinger equation of a system represents
the conservation of the
Example:
Q. The infra-red stretching frequency νco of
(P) Mn(CO)6+ (Q) CO (R) H3B←CO (S) [V(CO)6]- follows the
order
A. P>R>S>Q
B. S>P>R>Q
C. Q>S>P>R
D. R>Q>P>S
Example:
Q. Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion
[a] and the Reason [r]
A. Both [a] and [r] are true and [r] is the correct reason for [a]
B. Both [a] and [r] are true but [r] is not the correct reason for
[a]
iv. Match items: Match all items in Column 1 with correct options from
those given in Column 2 and choose the correct set of combinations
from the choices A, B, C and D.
Example:
Q. Match the following and choose the correct combination
Capital State
P. Chennai 1. Andhra Pradesh
R. Mumbai 3. Rajasthan
S. Kolkata 4. Karnataka
5. Tamil Nadu
6. Maharashtra
Example:
Common data for Q. 78,79,80: The gas phase reaction, 2P + 4Q →
2R which is first order in P and first order in Q is to be carried out
isothermally in a plug flow reactor. The entering volumetric flow rate is
2.5 dm3/min and the feed is equimolar in P and Q. The entering
temperature and pressure are 727oC and 10 atm respectively. The
specific reaction rate at this temperature is 4 dm3/gmol min and the
activation energy is 15,000 cal/gmol.
Q.78. What is the volumetric flow rate in dm3/min when the
conversion of P is 25%?
(A) 1.82 x 103 (B) 4.95 x 10-3 (C) 6.2 x 10-3 (D) 9.73 x

engine operates between the actual heat input temperature of 1000 K
and actual heat rejection temperature of 250 K. The ambient
temperature is 200 K.
Q.81b The above engine is to provide the power output of 100 kW.
The heat input required will be
b. All questions have four choices with only one being correct.

papers as described above in (e).
Syllabus
All the relevant books based on the subject(Divide the books in two groups -
(1) Fundamental and basic concepts (2) Problem oriented
Some books helpful for pre-requisite knowledge on the subject
Some good guide books for GATE
Previous questions papers
read at least 5 books, it will widen your knowledge(if necessary consult with
the books for pre-requisite knowledge or with some expert)
Note down the probable concepts (definitions, unit, dimension etc.)
Note down necessary theories, formulae etc
Solve problems as maximum as possible(from text books, Guide books etc)
Think about various tricks in solving problems(if necessary, note it)
Go for series of self tests based on this chapter(take other's help to conduct
tests)
Continue the self tests until getting a very good score
5. Solve more and more problems, discover more and more new tricks…
8. On the exam day…you will be at the Pick, who can stop you?
