Hello,

It like a selection criteria. You will get selected on the basis of scored you have secured in the GATE exam. Just like Jee main exam.  There rank is considered , the person who satisfies the cutoff gets an admission.

In the very same way, your score will make your eligible for Masters' course. This is the only significance. GATE score also helps you to get jobs in private sectors and some companies joins candidates on the basis of gate score and some keep screening tests like interviews to give provide a job.

You can appear your GATE exam in your 8 semester. If you really want to have a good score then start preparing from now. You are just starting the syllabus for your branch. Syllabus of gate is highly contributed from 2nd and 3rd year semester syllabus. You can get the syllabus respective to your branch from the official webpage.

Hope it helps!

Dear aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

To appear for the GATE 2020 one must have passed the graduation or any equivalent degree from the college or institutes recoganised by the state or central government. There is no age limit. For more details please refer to the link below

Hope it helps!!

Thanks!!

Hello,
A part of your question is not clear.What kind of mails have your friends received?You will receive mail when you first apply giving the application number and other details.After that you will receive mail regarding the status of your application whether it is in correct order or not.If your application isn't in right order you will be asked to correct it at the time of correction which is already over.Apart from this you won't receive any emails even if you receive they are not sent by IIT Delhi officials.They maybe phishing emails.You might have already received a mail regarding the fake emails sent.You can check your spam incase if you have missed any of the emails sent by GATE 2020.

Hi,

Nit surat also take admission to engineering postgraduate programs through gate.

It is difficult to predict the exact score of GATE 2020 for admission to  electronics and communication.

However if we look at previous years cutoff of nit surat for communication system the closing was 526 in 2018 and 566 in 2017 for open category.

You can check the previous years  cutoff score https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/gate-cutoff-for-svnit-surat

So with previous years cutoff trends you can expect a score around 500 in 2020 as safe score to secure a seat in electronics and communication for a general category candidate.

There are no specific limits for anyone , you can write as many times you want to write the gate Examination. It is conducted once a year. You can write for number of times, there is no specific time limit or any age limit for appearing for gate Examination.

Hey!There
No,you can't write GATE in third year of your bachelor of engineering,this provision has been removed by gate conducting body.Ony B.tech/B.E or it's equivalent passed Graduates or appearing in it can write GATE PAPER..
I hope this helps..!

Hello!

We have various colleges which don't consider GATE score as the criteria to get an MTECH admission.

1. IIIT HYD

2.IIIT DELHI

3.BITS PILANI,HYD,GOA

4.BIT MESRA

5.DELHI UNIVERSITY

6.JNU

7.JAMIA MILIA,DELHI

You can give state level MTECH examinations like CUCET,APPGECET etc.

Dear candidate,

As you are studying second year now. There are mainly 11 subjects that you should study for GATE(Gratitude Aptitude Test in Engineering).

1.Maths(15 to 20 marks)*

2.Theory of computation(5 to 9 marks)*

3.Digital logic(3 to 6 marks)*

4.COA(6 to 9 marks)*

5.Programming and DS(7 to 12 marks)*

6.Algorithms(6 to 7 marks)*

7.Compiler design(3 to 4 marks)*

8.OS(8 to 12 marks)*

9.Data bases(6 to 11 marks)*

10.Computer network(6 to 9 marks)*

11.Software engineering and web technology(2 to 8 marks)*

the above mentioned weightages are the lowest to highest mark of the appropriate question in a particular subject asked from 2011 to 2016.

these contribute 85 marks and the remaining 15 marks is on aptitude for now you should concentrate on your semester and try to give your 100%  in your semester exams and in third year you can join for GATE coaching.

Or if you wanted to prepare for it on your own then go through the following instructions and tips for your preparation:

Analyze Syllabus: Analyse the GATE syllabus and refer the previous GATE question papers follow the method of divide and conquer method and prioritize important topics and prepare according to it.

Start the preparation from today don't delay your preparation stay committed about the preparation it would be better to start with some easy and scoring subjects like DBMS, OS, Computer networks.. according to your choice.

Time table: Make a schedule of what to study and when to study depending on the importance of subjects and the topics and follow it at any cost don't postpone the schedule.

Running notes: Take running notes while the lectures and add it some more information while you are studying as it will be very helpful for your revision and it also makes you remember better.

Revise and practice: After completing each chapter revise it and practice questions on that particular topic and make sure that you are thorough with that topic so that you can develop confidence that you will be able to answer any question from that topic and so as the subject.

Mock test: At the final stage of preparation take mock test  before attempting the actual GATE this helps you to practice and gain knowledge on various questions and models and the questions in the mock test resembles with the gate actual questions.

Don't stress out: The final days lead you to fear and stress of exam so stay calm and believe in yourself develop self confidence while you are preparing take consecutive breaks which will be helpful and don't remain on a single subject change the subjects time to time so that you don't get bored.

All the best.

Hope this information is helpful.
