GATE examination consists of Multiple Choice, Multiple Select and Numerical Answer type questions.

(i) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) carrying 1 or 2 marks each, in all the papers and sections. These
questions are objective in nature, and each will have choice of four answers, out of which ONLY ONE choice is
correct.

(ii) Multiple Select Questions (MSQ) carrying 1 or 2 marks each in all the papers and sections. These
questions are objective in nature, and each will have choice of four answers, out of which ONE or MORE than
ONE choice(s) are correct.
Note: There is NO negative marking for a wrong answer in MSQ questions. However, there is NO partial credit
for choosing partially correct combinations of choices or any single wrong choice.

(iii) Numerical Answer Type (NAT) Questions carrying 1 or 2 marks each in most of the papers and
sections. For these questions, the answer needs to be entered by the candidate using the virtual numeric keypad on
the monitor (keyboard of the computer will be disabled).
No choices will be shown for these types of questions.
These questions will be mentioned with, up to which decimal places, the candidates need to present the answer.
Also, for some NAT type problems an appropriate range will be considered while evaluating these questions so
that the candidate is not unduly penalized due to the usual round-off errors.
Candidates are advised to do the rounding off at the end of the calculation (not in between steps).
Wherever required and possible, it is better to give NAT answer up to a maximum of three decimal places.
