Candidate Appeared Analysis

As it can be seen that the most number of candidates appeared for Mechanical branch than Civil, Computer, Electrical and Electronics and the least number of candidates appeared in Geophysics. Following chart is an interactive chart.

GATE Marks vs AIR Relationship

Following graph shows the relation between Marks (out of 100) in y-axis and AIR in x-axis. It is ab interactive graph, so you can place your mouse pointer on it to get more details. It is to be noted that the data utilized to generate these charts is collected through a survey conducted via GATE Calculator. It may contain some outliers (inconsistent data).

Yes, it is possible to check your GATE marks ( out of 100 ) not RANK or GATE Score before Actually GATE result is out.

As after few days of the written exam, Gate committee prevail the facility of viewing candidate responses in their paper.

How to view responses of gate paper:

1. Login in your GATE account click here for the login page

2. Click into View Response as shown into the image to get your paper responses.

3. Now download Official Answer key from this page Click Here

4. Now just compare your responses with official answer keys to know your marks.

As CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers held in multi session so in order to justify their level of difficulties and mark distribution GATE committee has arrived at the following formula for calculating the normalized marks.

So the number you got by comparing your responses with official answer keys can be a little bit different.

Best of luck Guys for your result.. 🙂

Before Exam

First of all in order to remain hectic free and calm a proper sleep is important so take a good nap before exam. Avoid heavy breakfast. Don’t forget to carry Admit and Identity Card.

What will be my Strategy against negative marking?

For 1-mark multiple-choice questions, 1/3 marks will be deducted for a wrong answer. Likewise, for 2-marks multiple-choice questions, 2/3 marks will be deducted for a wrong answer. There is no negative marking for numerical answer type questions.

Now if you are facing problem in exam and you are somewhat near qualifying mark please try to avoid guessing answers of other question. In 99% case it will not help you to gain marks.

But yes if you think that you are far behind of qualifying mark, guessing can be an only option for you.

Procedure of making a guess: (Only in worst scenario)

1. Read each option carefully.
2. Try to eliminate as many options you can from the questions.
3. Then make a calculated guess ( try to listen to your instinct)

(Don’t Leave Numerical Answer type Question as it has no Negative marking 😉 )

Practice GATE Virtual Calculator Beforehand only.( website version, Android App )

During Exam

Now while giving exam tries to attempt first that category of questions for which you have prepared well.  Some try to prefer starting from 1 mark questions then General aptitude section then after that 2 marks question and in last Linked or Numerical Answer type question as it is more time consuming.

[Most Important] Some time invigilators of examination room who has responsibility of making us comfortable during exam make noises, do gossip with one another which result in distraction of student. If same is happening in your case JUST STAND & ASK THEM TO MAINTAIN SILENCE IN THE CLASS. Don’t let them disturb you as a distributed mind can result in wrong answers.

After Exam

• Which College is good?
• What i will get with this score?
• When notification will come?
• When will PSU give a call?

Don’t worry about all this we are here to take care 🙂

BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR EXAM.. DO WELL

(Last Five Year GATE Detail Analysis)

I always give stress on smart work instead of hard work. Preparing for any competitive exam with very vast syllabus requires a little bit of strategy because sometimes if hard work is not done in the right direction, it may lead to an unsatisfactory result.

So today, we are going to discuss all the significant and insignificant topics one must study during GATE preparation. So to find these topics, I will analyze questions of last five years papers, distribute them according to their chapters and find out the average times questions of particular topic came.

So before starting, let’s recall one thing that 15 marks of General Ability and 15 marks of Engineering Mathematics is common for every GATE paper and guys, do not make a mistake of leaving Mathematics because it’s easy and at the same time it covers the major part of the Mark distribution.

I usually see students waste their time learning Antonym and Synonym for Gate exam. Do not make this mistake as it is not productive. For

For  2014, 2015 and 2016 year average marks have been considered.

Important Topics for GATE 2019 Mechanical (ME) Paper

Table-1 GATE Mechanical (ME) Detail Analysis of Question Paper

For Mechanical, we can see that Majority of the question comes from Manufacturing Science, Thermal Science, Theory of Machines and Strength of Materials and Least number of question comes from Mechanics. So one can leave Mechanic instead of leaving other subjects.

Important Topics for GATE 2019 Electronics (ECE) Paper

Table-2 GATE Electronics and communication (ECE) Detail Analysis of Question Paper

In Electronic and Communication, we can see that Electronic Device Circuits, Signals and Systems, Digital Circuits,  and Control Systems are the topmost worthy topics.

Important Topics for GATE 2019 Electrical (EE) Paper

Table-3 GATE Electrical (EEE) Detail Analysis of Question Paper

In Electrical, Electrical Machine, Network, Power Electronics, Control Systems and Power System are the most important topic among other and Least important is Field Theory

Important Topics for GATE 2019 Civil (CE) Paper

Table-4 GATE CIvil (CE) Detail Analysis of Question Paper

For Civil Geotechnical, Environmental and Transportation are important topics than Mechanics. So it will make more sense to complete topics with a higher ranking than the one with lower.

Computer Science:

Programming and Data Structures, Database, Computer Networks and Operating System are the most important chapters whereas Compiler Design is the least significant.

During Revision pay more attention to high-ranking topics than the lower ranking one.

So end of this year is nearby and very few months is left for your GATE Exam and in case of final year students your end semester exam is also nearby which make preparing for gate more difficult. So after End semester exam may be you will only get 2 months for preparation.
But if someone follow some basic steps which I am going to discuss here. It will surely help you to optimize your preparation.

1. Printout your GATE Syllabus : If you do not have printed copy of GATE syllabus I recommend you to do so today because a printed copy of syllabus in your study table ( bed 😉 ) will make you continuously realize about covered syllabus and how much is left to cover.
(Advice: Suppose you have completed a topic then underline that topic it will make you happy and encourage you to complete more topics.)

For soft copy of syllabus Click Here

2. Analyze Syllabus : when you have only 2-3 month to go for a highly competitive exam then it become very important to do smarter preparation than just a simple preparation. So in order to make your preparation effective one should know about the most important as well as least important topics.

Put your more effort toward important topics.

One can find the analysis of previous year paper for different chapter in following links
Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Civil and Computer Science ( after landing into the required branch page you can go for individual chapter, there you will find syllabus and previous year paper analysis )

3. As now you know about important topics, so time has come where you pick your books/ notes and start studying.  ( Don’t go for detailed study for example history of that topic there is no time for that)
As you have your syllabus with you, you know important topic start learning about that topic conceptually, remember formulas, after reading write what you have learn, solve examples

For extra notes you can visit this link click here

4. Now as you have read a particular topic, solved the given example it’s time to evaluate or practicing more. I am mentioning a website https://gatetestseries.in/ this website contain previous 24 year questions of IES/GATE topic wise arrange and fully solved in quiz manner.

Go for it solve each quiz and see solution of each question after completing test. It will boost your concept and confidence.

5. Stay concentrated, Believe me guys you will get lots of time to waste after gate exam, utilize each second as only few days is left.

Best of luck..
