Hi All,
Im very new to this forum. I would like to know whether it is manageable for non CS undergrad people to go for GATE exam in CS and qualify .
I have ECE background and 2 years expereince in IT industry.

No you cannot change your stream. The stream in which you have completed your graduation (i.e, CS) must be taken as for GATE. for more information go to http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/ and download the brochure

Hello dear, first of all greetings from the Forum!!

Regarding your question, let me get back to you, a student of ECE background has no confrontation or problem in giving a GATE exam of CS subject or vice versa but you should be an engineering graduate.

Also, your work experience of 2 years is an added advantage for you, if you are working in a software company, see if you can prepare well and think that you can crack GATE, then it is no problem, you can write for this.

Eligibilty for GATE exam:-

>>Must be a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture either passed or final year, so how many year gap you have, you can write this exam.

>>One thing is that you should not be having any backlog.

Important books for CS branch:-





GK Publishers books for CS, it is good book for preparing.



MADE easy publication for CS.



GK publications solved papers topic wise.

All the best!!
