Chemical Engineers preparing for
GATE Examination.
Examination.

A word to the students

GATE examination is one of the most prestigious competitive examination
conducted for Graduate engineers. Over the past few years, it has become
more competitive as a number of aspirants are increasingly becoming
interested in M.Tech & government jobs due to decline
decline in other career
options.
In my opinion, GATE exam test candidates’ basics understanding of

concepts, ability to apply numerical approach. A candidate is supposed to
smartly deal with the syllabus not just mugging up concepts. Thorough understanding with
critical analysis of topics and ability to express clearly are some of the pre-requisites
pre to crack
this exam. The questioning & examination pattern has changed in few years, as numerical
answer type questions play a major role to score a good rank. Keeping Keeping in mind, the
difficulties of an average student, we have compose this booklet.
Established in 2006 by a team of IES and GATE toppers, we at Engineers Institute

Instit of India
have consistently provided rigorous classes and proper guidance to engineering students over
the nation in successfully accomplishing their dreams. We believe in providing exam-
oriented teaching methodology with updated study material and test series so that our
students stay ahead in the competition. The faculty at EII are a team of experienced
professionals who have guided thousands to aspirants over the years. They are readily
available before and after classes to assist students and we maintain a healthy
heal student-faculty
ratio. Many current and past years’ toppers associate with us for contributing towards our
goal of providing quality education and share their success with the future aspirants. Our
results speak for themselves. Past students of EII are currently working in various
departments and PSU’s and pursuing higher specializations. We also give scholarships to
meritorious students.
