How to Prepare :
The GATE tests the basic knowledge that you possess in various fields.
So you should prepare thoroughly by understanding the basics and
fundamentals of the subject.
They test your ability to derive conclusions from the basic formulas
and how good you are at applying them to solve questions.
The first step is to understand the basics and know their applicability.
Solve as many test papers as possible. This actually is the best way to
keep improving as you prepare for GATE.
You should set up a real test ambiance while solving papers, with no
breaks, no disturbance and set time. This is a very effective
arrangement, and duplicates the real test environment, thus preparing
you better.
To clear the GATE, you need a few months of dedicated practice and
study. Knowing the basics of all years and your subject well is the key
to crack the GATE.

Candidates who have appeared in the final semester/year exam in 2012, but with a
backlog (arrears/failed subjects) in any of the papers in their qualifying degree
should submit

portion of the PDF application form provided to you after you submit
application online.
NOTE:- Pre-final year students: Pre-final year students are NOT eligible to write GATE 2014.
Paper Pattern :
there will be an additional section in the paper (for all subjects) – the
General Aptitude section, which will consist of 10 questions, of 15
marks.
Q.1 to Q.25 (25 questions) carry one mark each (subtotal 25 marks).
Q.26 to Q.55 (30 questions) carry two marks each (sub-total 60 marks).
Questions Q.56 – Q.65 belong to General Aptitude (GA). Questions
Q.56 – Q.60 (5 questions) carry 1 mark each (sub-total 5 marks) and
questions Q.61 – Q.65 (5 questions) carry 2-marks each (sub-total 10
marks).Questions Q.48 – Q.51 (2 pairs) are common data questions.
Question pairs (Q.52, Q.53) and (Q.54, Q.55) are linked answer
questions. The answer to the second question of the linked answer
questions depends on the answer to the first question of the pair. If the
first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is unattempted,
then the answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated.
NEGATIVE MARKING: For Q.1 – Q.25 and Q.56 – Q.60, 1/3 mark
will be deducted for each wrong answer. For Q.26 – Q.51 and Q.61 –
Q.65, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
The question pairs (Q.52, Q.53), and (Q.54, Q.55) are questions with
linked answers. There will be negative marks only for wrong answer to
the first question of the linked answer question pair i.e. for Q.52 and
Q.54, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. There is no
negative marking for Q.53 and Q.55.
Questions on Engineering Mathematics will carry about 15% of the
total marks (excluding General Aptitude section) in all the papers
bearing the codes AG, BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT and
PI.
GATE has relative marking scheme. That means that an applicant's rank
is dependent on how others have performed. It is a relative score. So
you can never be sure, even if you have answered most questions
correctly. Also there is negative marking – one third of marks deducted
for every wrong answer.
