formulae or laws of the discipline of the paper.
They can be answered from memory or from a
one-line computation.
◦ Comprehension questions can be answered by
thoroughly understanding the concepts and by
being able to draw conclusions.
◦ Application based questions that can be answered
by applying the knowledge for computation or logic
◦ Analysis and synthesis based questions. Contents

Strategy for preparing Strategy for preparing study planstudy plan Verbal and Logical ability has 15 marks, target at least to
get 10 marks which is achievable. This will help you to get
closer to the qualifying mark and preparation made for this
will help you in other competitive examinations as well,
since they are common in all the examinations you will
write.
Based on previous GATE results we may infer that a score
of 25 out of 100 marks in GATE will be qualifying mark.
In most of the Premiere institutes a score of 35 is the cut off
marks.
We are discussing raw score not the percentile Contents
Setting Goal Setting Goal Prepare a list of colleges you want to join
and are offering M.Tech.
Find out last year cut off marks, this gives
you an idea of the target to be set.
Suppose if the score is 32 marks then you
may set your target as 35. Out of this 35,
you should aim to get 10 from verbal and
logical reasoning. 25 marks from recall and
comprehension type of questions which will
be based on basic concepts. Contents
