Analysis of GATE 2004 conducted by IIT Delhi in Electronics and Communications Branch Following is the subject level analysis.

Communications 23 marks ie., 15.33% of weight-age -> We can expect 12 to 13 marks in GATE 2012 Control Systems 21 marks ie., 14% -> We can expect 10 to 11 marks Electronic Devices 20 marks ie., 13.33% -> We can expect around 10 marks from this subject Signals&Systems 16 marks ie., 10.66 % -> 8 marks Network Analysis 15 marks ie., 10% -> 7 to 8 marks Analog Electronics 15 marks ie., 9.33% -> 7 to 8 marks Digital Electronics 14 marks ie., 10% -> 7 to 8 marks Electromagnetic Theory 14 marks ie., 9.33% -> 6 to 7 marks Microprocessors 8 marks ie., 5.33% -> 4 marks from this subject. We can draw handful conclusions from this. 1. They concentrate more on Communications, Controls, Devices which we should not leave at any cost. 2. Difficulty level also will be high in Communications, Analog and EDC. 3. We may get linked questions in EDC, Communications and Analog. 4. Those who are targeting IITs/IISc should concentrate equally on EMTheory. All of you gear up your preparation NOW.
