GATE -2014 ECE Date 15.02.14 Morning session:
Pattern of GATE Exam :
Section A : 1 5: 1 Mark questions from aptitude
6 10, 2 Mark questions from aptitude
Section B : 11 35, 1 Mark questions from technical
36 65, 2 Mark questions from technical
No common data and No linked questions
Level of question was similar to GAT 2013 but due to numeric data type questions accuracy will be more
important and student can make mistakes. So cut off will remain nearly same .

There are some questions based upon memory so some questions are incomplete also but it is just for
checking your solutions and knowing pattern of exam:

Q. 1. If cross probability of binary symmetric channel is 0.5 then what is the capacity of binary symmetric
channel :
Sol: If p = 0.5 then entropy has maximum value and is equal to 1.
But C 1 H 1 1 0 = = =
Q. 2.




Sol: In this only 0.3 V Schottky diode will be ON.
Q. 3. A transmission line whose z
