At this time Gate Paper will be objective type on therotical subject bases.

GATE paper is always consist of your basic knowledge on the subject. it is not based on only practical or theory.


if you have good knowledge in subject theoretical and practical then easily you will crack GATE. GATE is mainly from theoretical knowledge. in GATE now 15 marks aptitude also included.

to know the GATE examination pattern visit website of any IIT. for previous years question paper visit the website http://www.freshersworld.com. previous year question will give you idea about the question pattern in GATE examination.

best wishes.

Well Gate is an Objective type exam aimed at testing you aptitude for engineering related subjects.You can appear for your subject stream only for which you are qualified.
You are required to be a qualified engineer.. so questions can come from all of your syllabus be it practical of theory.. i suggest you do not indulge in these wild projections
about what kind of paper is going to come... Be sure the question paper will be a healthy mix to adjudge you... Often indulging in such games results in losses to students who try to bend their preparations in last time... i would suggest bank on your strength
and keep your mind off such things.
Just keep practicing previous papers and mocks and refer to books for revision.

freind,

GATEpaper is based on both theories but practicals. You will find more problematic and formula based questions.but to crack GATE one has to be strong in basic fundamentals in all branch papers.
and a proper guidance and determination one can crack GATE.......

all the best........

dear friend
GATE paper is always consist of your basic knowledge on the subject. it is not based on only practical or theory.


if you have good knowledge in subject theoretical and practical then easily you will crack GATE. GATE is mainly from theoretical knowledge. in GATE now 15 marks aptitude also included.

to know the GATE examination pattern visit website of any IIT. for previous years question paper visit the website http://www.freshersworld.com. previous year question will give you idea about the question pattern in GATE examination.thank you

Hello dear, there is no specification details provided by IIT's that the gate paper will be practical based or theoretical based.

gate paper is not all about based on pratical and theory based.it's based on some other things. duration of paper is three hours and for futher details u can check in site of gate

no one can guess it right.... Don't worry about that, do what you can the best to crack it. Rest is not in your hand.

Gate i.e Graduate aptitude test in Engineering going to be held on 13 February 2011.

Don't be confused at the last time, if you have filled the application form for this year, Then Gate brocher has already specified the Pattern.

Want to see it Then Click Here.

The Paper consists of Optional subjects which is to be chosen from 21 Listed Subjects. There will be Objective Type of Questions.

Suggestion For The Exam.
wrong Answer omitted will be negatively Penalized Therefore Don't omit such mistakes, Just be confident what you know.

Good luck.

in GATE paper you will get only objective type question and question will asked from given syllabus for more detail you can see previous gate papers.
the questions papers are not like a very traditional one. They always try to test the very basic of candidates.
To secure a very high percentile you should always remember the fact that you are adjudged relatively not absolutely.

for more detail http://www.onestopgate.com/gate-preparation/gate-pattern.asp

hi...
its an very tough task to guess what type the question paper would be,
but one thing is very clear that the gate exam is one which checks whether the an candidate has the basic understanding of the subject,most of the times you would find that most of the gate questions are easily solvable if you know the basics concepts,
it mostly checks whether the candidate knows how to apply the theories by twisting the problems little bit,and iit madras paper will be surely made in that way
all the best
