Top Marks in GATE 2010

2010 JULY 31

by Zahid

tags: Advices, GATE

It was hard for me know the highest or top marks scored in GATE during last year and many student asked about it. I decided to record the heights marks scored in GATE exam and make an analysis. This also helped me to make a generalized assumption about highest marks in GATE or marks that would fetch a seat in IIT.

The highest are marks totally depends and I always suggest GATE 2011 students to target highest marks. Dont be happy, if you are scoring same as highest marks of previous year. Be aware someone is always preparing for highest marks (ie. 100), if he or she make it you will be standing in a risk to get into IITs.

The highest marks in GATE 2010 for all the branches could not be collected. I think marks of student well below 10 gives a good estimate of highest marks for the engineering stream. I gave the rank for which the marks obtained and a guess for top marks in GATE. You can also refer to Total number of student appeared in GATE 2010 and GATE 2010 qualifying Marks for other related information.

GATE 2010 Qualifying Marks

2010 JULY 28

Knowledge about the maximum affordable risk for achieving any goal is really important in making the safe and powerful strategy. GATE preparation has no exception. It is always better to be aware of minimum marks required to qualify GATE exam, to make sure during practice you are getting well ahead of these scores.

The unfortunate thing is GATE minimum score or qualifying score change year to year. On the same time, it gives a close estimate of minimum marks required to qualify GATE exam. Minimum marks also differ from one stream to another, as it is calculated based on standard deviation and average marks of all students. Therefore, if the GATE paper is tough qualifying marks will be less and if the GATE paper is easy qualifying marks will be high.

As mentioned in GATE 2010 official site, the qualifying score for general category in each paper is (a + s) or 25, whichever is higher, where a and s are the average and standard deviation of marks of all candidates in a particular paper, with all marks less than zero, converted to zero. The qualifying scores for SC/ST/PD/OBC categories would be 2/3, 2/3, 2/3 and 9/10, respectively, of the general category qualifying score.

The qualifying or minimum marks for a valid GATE score in 2010 for different disciplines are as below.

Eligibility For GATE

2010 AUGUST 30

by Zahid

tags: GATE

Most of you may not be interested in this, but many other who dont have Engineering degree are posting lots of questions related to eligibility of GATE exam. And most of these questions are from students, who are from science background. But this will also help friends from engineering background to help others if they doubts about GATE eligibility.

The following categories of candidates are eligible to appear in GATE :

Bachelor degree holders in Engineering/ Technology/ Architecture (4 years after 10+2) and those who are in the final or pre-final year of such programmes.

Master 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 degree programme (Post-B.Sc.) in Engineering/ Technology or in the third or higher year of Five-year Integrated Master degree programme and Dual Degree programme in Engineering/ Technology.

Candidates with qualifications obtained through examinations conducted by professional societies recognized by UPSC/AICTE (e.g. AMIE by IE(I), AMICE(I) by the Institute of Civil Engineers (India)-ICE(I)) as equivalent to B.E./B.Tech. Those

who have completed section A or equivalent of such professional courses are also eligible.

Those criteria are given by GATE official website. Let me elaborate it for students by name of degrees.

Second and third year MCA students are eligible for GATE. First and Second year MSc students are eligible for GATE. BSc. BCA and BCS (a three years degree) students are not eligible for GATE Exam. BSc. (Tech), a four years degree, third and final year students are eligible for GATE exam. B.Tech or BE integrated students are eligible from their third year of integrated degree.

If you have any other degrees or have questions related to GATE eligibility, please feel free to drop a comment. This is a part GATE 2011 preparation guide, which more GATE related posts to help students.

How to start preparing for GATE

2010 AUGUST 21

tags: Advises, GATE

Once you are decided to take up GATE exam and read important information related to it, you are ready to go ahead with preparation. I have few suggestions for students who are serious about cracking GATE exam.

I divided the whole process of preparation in few steps and every individual student who aced the GATE will follow these in one or the other way. These are just simple guidelines but the most important thing is your dedication and determination. If you read these steps and appreciate them but dont follow them then these are of no use. Therefore, I recommend every student to be very sincere and give a good try. The steps are as follows.

Buy or get a copy of previous year question papers if possible with solutions. Having a hard copy is very important and we are going to refer it again and again during whole preparation.

Refer to syllabus and analyze the number of questions asked in each subject. As all subjects dont have equal marks, few subjects are preferred over others. I mean few subject may have more questions asked in exam than others. I dont have this subject break up for GATE. If you have done this exercise, please share with us to share with many other students and also we can have a discussion over its validity.

Make a priority list of subjects based on marks or preference given it in previous exams. Marks distribution of subject will help you prioritize and allocate preparation time to different subjects. If distribution is not prepared we usually end up in a random preparation and finally will have tough time dealing with important subjects.

Just for example, in GATE CS and IT paper, around 15~20% is from Mathematics, and then Programming and Data Structures, Theory of computation, OS and digital logic.

Allocate realistic time for each subject. And read it all, as there is huge to cover and its easy to ask few marks question from anywhere in a subject.

Finish through reading of a chapter of subject, make short notes of important points, this will help you at last moment to revise what you have read.

Once finish a chapter, go back to GATE Question papers and solve the problems from that chapter. These days there lots of question banks available in market for GATE do buy one and practice. Also to try to get Test Series from other friends. Solve all of them. This will help you to assess yourself for level of understanding of the chapter you read. Use a single note book for question answer solution because you may refer it while revising.

Finish detailed reading at least one and half month before. Keep one month for revisions and clearing leftover doubts. Have a look of question you solved during preparation for GATE and remember how you solved them.

Keep last 15 days for fast practice and revision. Solve as many papers and question banks as you can get from any source.

Keep documents related to GATE like, acknowledgment of application, like hall tickets, application number and other details, in a safe place. Give it to mom or someone responsible, who can give that back to you when you need them. This is to avoid last minute tension for obvious things.

I hope these points will help many of to take a start off. Please dont waste time and take a start. The one who start early and work consistently reach early and hope see IITs for M.Tech. GATE is a simple exam just needs constant effort to crack it. Dont worry about competition by number of candidates appearing for GATE, make highest marks as your competition.

Can One Use Calculator in GATE Exam?

2011 JANUARY 11

by Zahid

tags: Advises, GATE

When I look back at the comments on How to Prepare For GATE With One Month to Go I find that most of the students are worrying about using calculators in GATE exam.

The common related questions are, Can we use calculators in GATE Exam? Or are we allowed to USE Calculator in GATE exam? Which scientific calculators are allowed in GATE exam? And which is the best calculator to use in GATE exam? I will try to answer all these questions in this post.

Let me answer one by one and hope it will help most of you.

Can we use calculators in GATE Exam? Yes of course, students can use calculators (scientific ones too) in GATE exam. To make it clear I have snippet from GATE official FAQs here and I will clear another doubt from that.

What items are not permitted to be brought with me inside the examination venue?

Electronic diary, mobile phone, and any such electronic gadgets, blank papers, clip boards and log-tables will not be allowed in the examination venue. You should, however, bring HB black pencils (to darken the bubbles in the answer sheet), a soft eraser (in case you wish to change an answer) and a black point pen for filling up the candidates data in the designated boxes. Also, you can bring a scientific calculator without data connectivity.

It clearly says that scientific calculators are allowed in GATE exam. On the same time also raises a question, what is data connectivity. Here it means that the calculator should be stand alone and should not have any capabilities of transferring Data to another device.

Which is the best calculator to use in GATE exam? There is not better calculator to use in GATE than the one you used during GATE preparation or regular college days. The one reason for that is one must have become very comfortable with its functions and usage. If you buy a new calculator you will be searching for the desired functions in calculator and may waste time and also end up not getting the correct answers.

With this I hope most of you got the answers to your doubts about using Calculators in GATE exam. If you have further queries or you want to share some information, do drop a comment.

How Many Times One Can Appear For GATE Exam?

2010 OCTOBER 9

by Zahid

tags: Advices, GATE

This is being asked so many times that I decided to write a post about it. To get a clear answer for this question, please have look at eligibility criteria for appearing for GATE exam.

There is nothing mentioned about number of attempts one can make in GATE exam. That is the best thing and there is no age limit too. As of now, the organizers dont maintain the database of student taking GATE exam and use it to verify that every time.

The bottom line is you can make as many attempts to GATE exam as you want. There is no limit on number of attempts in eligibility for GATE exam.

The next question is about age limit for attempting GATE exam. I think there is no age limit either for appearing in GATE exam. I was referring to the GATE 2011 online application form. Exam seekers born during 1940 to 1995 are eligible to appear for the exam if the fulfill other eligibility conditions mentioned.

The information holds correct until the GATE exam organizers decide to change the eligibility conditions. I will try to update as soon as any modifications comes up in number of attempts to GATE or any changes in age are made.
