If someone misses contesting wrong answers and the solution from gate is wrong, will everyone who attempted correct answer (according to GATEOVERFLOW) which is wrong according to GATE official solution, get marks or only those who contested the solution from GATE?

 

Please explain the process as I am new to this.Even relevant links will do .

Due to demands from other branches we have made score calculators for the below branches active now:

Mechanical 

Computer Science 

Electronics 

Electrical Engineering 

Instrumentation 

Civil

Chemical

Since there is only one variable for score prediction – the top 0.1% marks and this can be guessed pretty accurately, the predicted score should be at least 98% accurate. Now, the scores are predicted using the marks calculated using official keys (will be changed to the finalized one when they get released).

Respected Seniors,
I know You will be seeing most of the questions like this and you are tired of answering this.
But I have no other hope unless seeking trusted seniors. Answer only when you are free .
Here is my story :
    Iam a first timer general category student who started preparation with high hopes and with flying wheels in august 2018, But in course  of time I lose some motivation and prepared lightly. I wont blame my college nor resources provided by college as it is Tier 3 college. In the end I have to be blamed.
   

   I scored 47 marks as per praggy app and now I don’t know what to do because as per it my rank is around 3000. I know with that rank I shall not get any good colleges.
    
My options :

1.Drop 1 year prepare again – I don’t know how will be the situations during next year and as Arjun sir told in PPT most of the people will be in same range even after repeating.
    
2.I have Infosis job as a fresher with 3.6 lpa. So most of the people suggesting go to job and write again. I don’t know how much this will work ???

3.With My rank join the best college that I get and repeat again.

4. Joining job and settle in it and giving up on Gate.

Which option is best and if there are any other suggest them... Thank you !!!

Both RA and TA are one of the categories to pursue your M.Tech.

 

TA - Teaching Assistantship

Institutions offering TA: IISC, IITB, IITD, IITK, IITKGP, IITM, IITG, IITH, IITR
Mode of admission:
IISC, IITB, IITKGP, IITM, IITH, IITG, IITR – Purely on GATE Score
IITD, IITK – Based on GATE SCORE + Interview (70:30)
IITH – Only Interview (If seats are vacant)

Course duration: If you are pursuing your M.tech in this category, it will take 2 years to complete.
Monthly stipend: ₹12400 fixed for the whole period of your M.Tech.

TA Work: You will be assisting faculty of that particular subject in attendance and correction of answer sheets and some more works related to that course only for a semester. The number of hours in a week can vary depending on the prof you are working with.

Course pressure:  1st year will be full course work and 2nd year will be for projects with 0–3 courses (depending on the institution) to complete. As far as the first semester is concerned, it is certainly not tough, it is hectic. 3-4 courses you have to take in a semester. You will have a midnight time limit for assignment submission. If you will survive for 2-months then this will be a new normal for you. If you do not try for it then you can not fail in the subject.

 

RA - Research Assistantship/ M.Tech Research

 

Mode of admission: Only through Interview and Interview.
Shortlisting criteria: GATE Score + BTech CGPA. After shortlisting everyone will be on the same platform. So do well in the interview you will be in.

Institutions offering Research Program: IISC, IITB, IITK, IITM, IITH
Course duration: RA category M.tech takes 2.5-3 years to complete.

Monthly stipend: will be different (depending on the institution) for all three years.

1st year - ₹14000
2nd year - ₹15000
3rd year - ₹ 16000

NOTE: Some IITs offers High-value Assistantship where the stipend is 25k. So it depends on the Project you will be working with.

RA work: RA category (depending on the institution) is of two types:

  • Institute RA

Your RA duty will be in a lab assigned to you for mostly the whole of your M.Tech. You will be responsible for daily conduct of the same lab and all other works related to that lab. In short, you will be working as a lab assistant in a particular lab for the whole of your M.tech. It doesn’t mean that you will have too much of the workload. You will also be learning everything related to that particular lab.

  • Project RA

In project RA you will be assigned a project (for which you have been given admission after the interview process), and you will have to work on that project only as your M.Tech project.

Course Pressure: In the RA category you have to take less number of courses than TA ones. The number of credits to be completed is almost the same as of TA category. You can distribute your course workload in ample time given (3 years instead of 2). By the time they reach the final year most RAs are done with their courses. So in the final year, they are very free (compared to TAs) and can prepare for placements better.

 

 

Placements: Are you still looking for this? NO difference in the RA and TA category.

Apart from the above, there is no difference between TA and RA. Even RAs have one advantage of getting exposed to the project more as they will be dedicating more time for the project. RAs students have sufficient time to publish a research paper and that will add weight in the resume.

Hey all, 

Could you please provide the correct link for IOCL? When I checked on website it says, for gate2019, it is yet to be released. But 10th Feb is last date. @Arjun Suresh, could you look into this a bit. It would be really helpful.

Thanks.

I would like to ask what would be the good marks to get something (IIT)out of this paper .People are saying paper was damn easy ,I am not getting it why they are saying this .According to me ,yah paper was easy but because of it level it make it difficult as expected cut off will surely rise up . What is your opinion regarding same . I know without checking answer key I am assuming it that cut off will rise , But whosoever have appeared in the paper they well know about it.

hello everyone,

i just wanted to ask which are other PSU’s/COLLEGES that donot see gate score , i mean which colleges/psu’s conduct their own examand what is their criteria means exam pattern.

i know about IIITD,IIITH,BARC,ISRO but others i dont know.

pls if u have any info about any college and their pattern of exam. Then pls comment here, it will help others very much!!!

if u have any link then pls share, any help will be appretiated!!

Hello Everyone

How should i go about preparing mathematics for bits hd exam as it includes a lot of topics from calculus and other areas too which are not in the gate syllabus of compute science ?

I’d be grateful if someone can suggest me a reference book or other resources from which i can take help.

Thank You :)

how many student are shortlisted for document verification on 15th feb .

please comment all student with marks...

55
After submission and feedback, before I could exit. the system was turned off. Will it create any problem? Please someone answer.
56
I found tricky but questions were nice.

I want to confirm whether the dance drama maths people got correct answer or not? I got around 452 and was pretty confident about it and it was not in options.
57
All the best everyone :)

Tomorrow while giving exam, just focus on solving questions, nothing else. No matter if you can’t solve 4-5 consecutive questions, don’t worry about that(It might be case that no one can solve them.) Remember to reverify your calculations in scrib pad before marking an answer.

Give exam in very chill mode and remain calm throughout. You all will surely secure very good rank.

All the best :)

Hi,

The motive of this post is to seek help on $2$ separate topics: normalization in DBMS and solving recurrence equations. The below points will highlight my situation.

  • I have followed NPTEL lectures for studying DBMS. But, when solving questions from GO PDF, I am unable to understand and proceed to solve questions on normalization. I guess I, vaguely (not sure how much I know!), know the theoretical concepts, but I struggle with applying them in solving problems. Every year, questions from normalization are mandatorily included in GATE, and I don’t want to miss those.
  • Due to improper time management and a flawed strategy, I didn’t spare enough time to study recurrence relations. And I guess, solving recurrence relations are an extension of applying general mathematical algebraic principles which I can handle.

So, if someone has any documents/links/notes, which lists down the steps required in solving problems on these topics, and willing to share it, I would be grateful.
