GATE 2014 candidate experience and Analysis


Based on student test experiences in the streams of IN, CE and CH on 2nd February, 2014 Questions with numerical answers accounted for 40-50 % of the paper. Hence you cannot guess your way through the paper. General Ability section also has such questions. In the papers of the past, there used to be some questions which could be solved by eliminating the wrong options. But with an increase in the numerical answer type questions, this method of problem solving takes a backseat. With the high occurrence of numerical answer type questions, one has to be thorough and careful with unit conversions so as to type in the correct answer. Earlier, the four options more or less served as guidelines.

Among general ability questions, probability accounted for around 3-4 marks with one question each from Data Interpretation, logical reasoning and critical reasoning. Engineering Mathematics questions were tough compared to the previous year. There were no direct questions. There were direct questions from few of topics. And some of questions needed concept of two topics to solve them. Such were tough to solve. Scoring sections in IN were Networks, Control Systems and Analog Circuits. These could be the scoring sections in the upcoming ECE papers too. The sequence of questions was different for each candidate i.e. no two candidates will have same sequence of questions. There were no Common Data and Linked questions in the papers we analyzed. Some papers wrongly mentioned a penalty for a wrong answer to a numerical type question. This was later corrected through an announcement by the invigilators. According to the latest info from IIT Kharagpur, the marks of candidates appearing in EC, CS, EE, ME and CE will be normalized across the multiple sessions. This means that whether the paper in a particular session is easy or tough will not matter in the overall scheme of things. Source: Gateforum Candidate experience: Paper was tough as compared to the other question paper. It includes written answer type questions which are tough and tricky. Previous year questions were not helping. Only basic concept of the subject matter. Two or three subject concepts were mixed and one question was made. So dont leave any subject. By: Shivam Prakasham Im vasu dev pursuing civil engg. coming to the point the GATE exam that was conducted yesterday is easy. its like writing the semister exams. everyone those who prepared to attempt will be satisfied & also those who worked hard to crack the gate will be satisfied. As 33% of the questions were not having negative marks I am able to attempt most of the questions without worrying. I know dat i wont get a rocking rank as i didnt prepare for it seriously. But as far as my preparation is considered I am satisfied with my attempt.

Hi guys this year gate question can bring smile to your fce only if you are strong on basics of a particular subject. Unlike previous year this year pattern is quite impressive. there are few question asked directly and there are question which displays irrevelant data points to some useful data and there are few questions which use some impressive relation among various chapters. I find numerical type questions are easy as compared to multiple choice question. the maths part is quite difficult to answer and aptitute part is interesting. Mysimple suggestion is dont take risk if u dont know the answer.
