    Type of Questions

    GATE exam consists of multiple choice questions in all papers and sections will contain

    four answers, of which only one is correct. The types of questions in a paper may be

    based on following below furnished logics:

    a. Recall:

    These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline. The candidate isexpected to be able to obtain the answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at

    most from a one-line computation.

    b. Comprehension:

    These questions will test the candidate's understanding of the basics of his/her field, by

    requiring him/her to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas.

    c. Application:

    In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge either throughcomputation or by logical reasoning.

    d. Analysis and Synthesis:

    These can be linked questions, where the answer to the first question of the pair isrequired in order to answer its successor. Or these can be common data questions, in

    which two questions share the same data but can be solved independently of one another.

    e. Common Data Questions:

    Multiple questions may be linked to a common data problem, passage and the like. Two

    or three questions can be formed from the given common data problem. Each question isindependent and its solution obtainable from the above problem data/passage directly.

    (Answer of the previous question is not required to solve the next question). Eachquestion under this group will carry two marks.

    f. Linked answer questions:

    These questions are of problem solving type. A problem statement is followed by twoquestions based on the problem statement. The two questions are designed such that the

    solution to the second question depends upon the answer to the first one. In other words,the first answer is an intermediate step in working out the second answer. Each question

    in such linked answer questions will carry two marks.

    M.Tech Admissions

    Post graduation admissions for M.E, M. Tech., PhD will start after the GATE results.

    Different colleges follow different procedures for post graduation admissions like directadmission, personal interview, group discussion or separate entrance exam. Also set ofNITs conduct common counseling and admission procedures for post graduation studies.

    So candidates should regularly visit the website of the desired colleges.

    As per the directives of the MHRD, the following procedure is to be adopted for

    admission to postgraduate programs (Master and Doctoral) with MHRDscholarship/assistantship. The performance of the candidate in GATE will be considered

    for admission. If the candidate is to be selected through interview for postgraduateprograms minimum 70% weightage is to be given to the performance in GATE. The

    remaining weightage (30% maximum) can be given to the candidate's academic record or

    performance in interview. Candidate opting for a general paper (XE or XL) may befurther examined (by interview/written test) by the admitting institution. In such casesalso the weightage for performance in GATE should not be less than 70%. The admitting

    institution will prescribe minimum passing percentage of marks in the interview. Somecolleges/institutes specify GATE qualification as the mandatory requirement even for

    admission without MHRD scholarship/assistantship.

    Candidates are advised to seek details of admission procedures and availability of MHRDscholarship/assistantship from the concerned admitting institution. The criteria for

    postgraduate admission with scholarship/assistantship are different for different admittinginstitutions. GATE offices will not entertain any enquiry about admission and award of

    scholarship/assistantship.

    It is the responsibility of the admitting institution to award the MHRD

    scholarship/assistantship to only those candidates who secured marks equal to or morethan the "qualifying mark" in the concerned GATE paper and for the corresponding

    category of the candidate. The management of the postgraduate scholarship/assistantshipis also the responsibility of the admitting institution. The GATE committee also has no

    role in the award or disbursement of scholarship/assistantship. Similarly, reservation ofseats under different categories is as per the policies and norms prevailing at the

    admitting institution and Government of India rules.

    A candidate declared "GATE qualified at the time of admission" is entitled for MHRDfellowship for 24 months unless he/she loses it due to poor performance in the registered

    programme.

    The students of Integrated Master Degree and Dual Degree programs inEngineering/Technology are eligible to appear in GATE 2012 in order to qualify for the

    postgraduate scholarships in their own institutions only. They are not eligible foradmission to a fresh M.E. / M. Tech. program.

    How to prepare for GATE?

    Two important parameters to be considered to crack GATE exam are Accuracy

    and Time Management. The paper consists of 65 questions which should besolved in 3 hours. In this cut throat competition the answers should be accurateand should be able to solve maximum questions with in given time frame.

    GATE exam consists of only objective questions, hence only correct answer

    fetches marks.

    Practice previous year question papers and analyze in which topics you are weakand concentrate more on those topics. Always try to solve the papers in given

    time to obtain the idea that how many questions you are able to solve in giventime limits.

    Give importance to both theory and numerical problems.

    Carefully go through the GATE syllabus and find out which topic fetches moremarks and give more importance to those topics.

    Group Studyis also effective way to brush up your knowledge about technical

    topics with your partners, in this process you might explore new techniques andprocedures to understand the topic better.

    Short Cut Techniques: Traditional methods to solve numerical problems is time

    taking process, try to adopt short cut techniques to save the time.

    Self Made Notes: Try to prepare notes after studying that particular topic,initially it will take some time but it will be useful in revising the topics at final

    stage.

    Success Tips for UPSC ESE

    Among all the career options available for engineers across domains, i.e. in private,public and government sectors still the best, prestigious and coveted career remains that

    of esteemed Indian Engineering Services (IES). Through Indian Engineering Services

    (IES) a candidate gets a career in most reputed government departments like IndianRailways, Military Engineering Services, Central Engineering Services,Telecommunication Department, Central Water Services and other esteemed

    departments.In Indian Engineering Services (IES) services an Engineer gets anopportunity to handle technically challenging roles and tasks which have a direct bearing

    on the building up of infrastructure and services of our nation.

    Strategy for the Engineering Services Examination

    The foundation of success can be laid on the resolute efforts but a sound strategy

    accompanied by never say die spirit makes the recipe of success sipid. Success cant be

    achieved overnight hence a prudent strategy matters a lot. For success in EngineeringServices Exam a candidate is required to have excellent fundamentals in the core

    subjects, along with thorough update on general awareness, current affairs and no less, allthe traits of matured personality. Following subsequent points will be worth mentioning

    and aspirants should necessarily keep a note of the same viz:

    Get acquainted with the latest examination pattern and syllabus of the exam. Go throughthe previous years question papers. Compare them and see what types of questions are

    repeated every year.

    It is advisable not to go refer several books for same topic, instead it is better to refer

    one good book for each topic, which clarifies basic concepts. Selective books areadvisable for selected topics.

    For every candidate time management is very essential along with the setting of target.

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is apt in his words One always has time enough, if onewill apply it well. The first step which every candidate should follow is to make a time

    table. Take one subject from each section of your technical syllabus and devote at least 3hours daily to it. Try to devote 1 hour each to English and General Studies so that you

    can take an edge as it is key differentiator for being in top rankers.

    Manage your time table such that it has good distribution of study hours for General

    Ability Section and technical papers, as it makes studies enjoyable and it becomes easy tosustain the momentum for longer hours, without boredom setting in and without losinginterest and enthusiasm

    It is always better to prepare short term plan of study, which should be framed in mind

    and executed.

  • 7/24/2019 Information Booklet of Gate,Ies,Psu's Final

    20/50

    20

    While studying the technical subjects dont forget to make short notes of importanttopics. Make a separate list of formulae for each subject and revise the short notes and

    formulae list daily.

    After completion of the topic solve all previous year questions and practice other

    questions which are available in good books. This will help you to assess yourself forlevel of understanding of the subject.

    When you are solving the question set the time limit and after the completion of it checkwhether you have completed the task within stipulated time or not.

    It is better to practice questions on OMR sheets for marking the answers, which willhelp to practice the marking of correct answers on OMR sheets quickly in the

    examinations.

    After completion of it take another subject and follow the same guidelines and dont

    forget to revise the important portion and your short notes of the subject which you haveprepared earlier.

    While preparing the English, segregate the vocabulary from previous 10 years paper ofEngineering Services Examination and Combined Defense Services Examination. Try to

    memorize at least 20 words daily and dont miss to revise those words.

    The next step to prepare the portion of English is solve daily 10 to 15 questions basedon finding errors and rearrangement of sentences.

    From the topics of general studies first of all find out the area of your interest and study

    it in the form of story or try to correlate the things. It will develop interest and make thethings comfortable.

    Read Newspaper and articles, watch morning bulletin, surf websites in order to preparefor General Ability section. The current affairs coverage is required till 45 days before

    the date of examination. Solve all the previous papers of General studies so that you cancome to know the main areas of GS.

    For making your conventional portion strong and for securing good marks in it, try to

    solve at least 5 questions daily from the previous 10 years paper and solve expectedconventional questions from the topic you are studying same day. It will improve your

    presentation and enhance the writing skills along with the rectification of the sillymistakes made by the candidates during the examination.

    Always remember Practice Makes a Man Perfect. Reserve last 15 days, for quickpractice and revision. Solve as many papers you can. The more you will solve the

    question more marks you will gain. Practice full-length mock test, comprising of all thesections, within the fixed time period.

    Tips and tricks for solving the papers

    The first motto while solving the question papers is to utilize your time optimally.

    The Objective Paper-I consists of 120 questions which are evenly based on English and

    General Studies. The questions on the topics of rearrangement of sentences andComprehension are tedious and time consuming so it is suggested to solve these

    questions after completion of rest of the paper.

    While solving the comprehension part first read the passage then read the questionsasked and then mark the lines which are related to the questions.

    If you are not able to solve a particular question then dont waste your time on it and

    dont get disheartened. Move to other questions and solve tough question at the end.

    While solving technical objective papers, try to solve the questions on theory first and

    then work on numerical questions as there is Negative Marking for each wrong answerand cut off is to be cleared in these papers hence never try to mark those answers on

    which you are not confident.

    On third day of examination there are two conventional papers. Before solving thepaper first of all read the question paper thoroughly and mark those questions in which

    you can perform your best.

    Write the answers, step by step in tidy manner to give an impressive presentation and bydoing this the candidate will not miss the essential points and formulae. If some diagram

    is required try to make well labeled and neat diagram with freehand sketch. You will getthe credit for orderly, effective, and exact expression combined with due economy of

    words in the conventional papers of the examination.

    Write formulae in the numerical, S.I units of concerned quantities and answers as well.

    Steps to enhance your performance

    1. The examination requires consistency, never say die spirit and most important is self

    motivation. Healthy ideas grow in healthy mind so alongwith studies do devote sometime for recreation this will make enhance the memorizing power and efficiency.

    2. Keep safely documents related to examination such as acknowledgment of application,

    hall ticket, application number and other details. This is to avoid last minute tension forobvious things.3. One day before the examination dont study much, just revise the important notes

    which you have made. Relax and sleep for atleast 6 hours so that you write exam withfresh mind.

    4. Keep atleast 2 sharpened pencils, eraser, sharpener, 2 pens, calculator, hall ticket, etc.in your examination kit. Leave for your exam timely and dont study much on the same

    day during travelling.

    What are PSUs?

    PSUs are government-owned corporations or state-owned enterprises created by the

    Government of India to undertake commercial activities on behalf of government.Several Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) under the aegis of Government of India

    regularly provide tremendous employment opportunities in various technical andmanagement areas.

    MAHARATNA PSUs:

    Maharatna is the status given to top public sector enterprises where the companies havethe authority to make foreign investments of upto Rs 5,000 crores without taking any

    government approval. To be qualified as Maharatna, the company should gain an annualnet profit of over Rs. 5,000 crores, net worth of Rs. 15,000 crores and turnover of Rs.

    25,000 crores over past three consecutive years. At present the companies which haveMaharatna status are: SAIL, ONGC, NTPC, CIL and IOCL.

    NAVRATNA PSUs:

    Navratna status is conferred to the companies by the Department of Public Enterprises.To be qualified as a Navratna, the company must obtain a score of 60 out of 100. The

    score is based on six parameters which include net profit to net worth, total manpowercost to total cost of production or cost of services, PBDIT (Profit before depreciation,

    interest and taxes) to capital employed, PBDIT to turnover, EPS (Earning per Share) andinter-sectoral performance. Additionally, a company must first be a Miniratna and have

    four independent directors on its board before it can be made a Navratna. The Navratnastatus gives privileges to enhance financial and operational autonomy and empowers to

    invest up to Rs. 1000 crores or 15% of their net worth on a single project without seekinggovernment approval. In a year, these companies can spend up to 30% of their net worth

    not exceeding Rs. 1000 crores. They will also have the freedom to enter joint ventures,form alliances and float subsidiaries abroad.

    How to Prepare for PSUs?

    PSUs Entrance Exam Question Paper mainly consists of two major sections:

    Technical Section: Subject specialization of related stream

    Non-Technical Section: General Awareness, Current Affairs,

    English Language, Reasoning & Aptitude.

    Hence to crack PSU competitive exam, candidate should prepare for both technicaland non-technical sections, where 50% to 70% questions are from technical and

    remaining questions from non-technical sections.

    Be aware of exam pattern of different PSUs like number of technical questions,

    number of non-technical questions, negative marking, exam duration, marks perquestion etc.

    Always make it a habit of referring to previous year question papers.

    Adopt Reference books for derivations, equations, conceptual thought process,

    theory etc.

    Short Cut Techniques: Traditional methods to solve numerical problems is atime taking process, try to adopt short cut techniques to save the time.

    Practice previous year question papers and analyze in which topics you are weakand concentrate more on those topics. Always try to solve the papers in giventime limit to obtain the idea that how many questions you are able to solve in

    given time limits.

    Group Discussion Round: Group Discussion is a crucial round conducted forshort listed candidates. Good communication skills, topic knowledge, team spirit,

    leadership qualities, patience level are the major parameters to be considered.

    Personal Interview: Sound technical knowledge, positive attitude, bodylanguage, good communication skills play an important role to clear personal

    interviews.
