A note for all set 1 people

Question

This is a discussion blog for all the people appeared in set1.In my little knowledge of GATE for 2 years, this time i found that there was hell and heaven differences among two sets

well we can do nothing about it..except suffering..But in set 1 there was 2 question from Code optimization

1 from Matrix vector

1 from Gaussian probability , a total of 4 questions were OUT OF SYLLABUS

So i need a suggestion, should we mail IIT Roorkee to adress AT LEAST the Out of syllabus questions properly

what do you guys say?

Comments

Hi Uddlpto, Do you think we will get a response for that? They will consider challenges between 3rd to 6th March only.

---

yes code optimization and that gaussian distribution was out of syllabus, wasnt there any such out of syllabus question in set 2?? We should mail them definitely.

---

Yes at least those marks should be given.Else it will be real injustice..

---

even RFC question also/// habib i am sending mail... challenge is only for specific question with money

i am not going to wait for that.. wil send mail tomoorow!

---

I'll Say Let's consolidate the points first then.

Point 1- Gausian Distribution Question

Point 2- Birthday attack Question

Point 3- RFC 793 Diagram.

Anything else?

---

Spilling of registers/Linear Vector

---

In Compiler design also , one from code optimisation and other from code generation [ both are 2 marks questions ] which is removed from the syllabus in the year 2016 itself..

---

@Habib are you talking about Static Single Assignment and minimum number of registers question?

---

so habib what can we do now?

---

Static single assignment is in syllabus under intermediate code. It was asked in gate 2015 and 2016 too.

---

@Sushmita spilling of registers is out of syllabus though..

---

Yes that was completely out of syllabus.

---

Well that RFC question, according to forouzan I marked fin wait 2. Is it wrong?

---

who knows check RFC. :P

---

Maybe LAST_ACK.

---

Server goes to last ack not the client. Client goes to fin wait 2. Wat was the exact question, does anyone remember?

---

Ma,am Is it wrong?

Step 1:Client (FIN=1,SEQ=x) --> Server

Step 2: Server(ack=x+1)   --> Client

Step 3: Server (FIN=1,SEQ=y) -->client

Step 4:  Client (Ack=y+1) --> Server

Connection Terminate Gracefully!

---

Actually both parties need to send fin segments to each other. And in your second packet server will send syn+ack.

In general for connection termination, client sends fin to server and goes to fin wait 1 state. Then server sends ack to client and goes to close wait. Client receives ack and goes to fin wait 2. Then when server wans to terminate connection it sends fin to client and goes to last ack. Then client sends ack to server and goes to time wait state. Then after time wait timer expires connection terminates successfully. This is 4 way handshake

---

gaussian probability is a part of syllabus. Its normal probability distribution's other name which is definitely given in our syllabus.

---

And because of such madness one ends up loosing confidence in the paper. For one moment I felt was I studying the wrong portion all this time :P

---

I just know what to do now. What should be our next strategy? Obviously we should continue studying but still the hope has been shattered.

---

In deadlock/starvation question was it mentioned that the killed process restarts with the SAME timestamp?

---

Also as long as I can recall , efficiency question didn't have % mentioned explicitly!!

---

Wats the answer to that deadlock starvation question?

---

If it is  mentioned it restarts with SAME timestamp then no deadlock and no starvation

---

When will the question paper be available?

---

yes, u r rihgt there was a lot of difference b/w two slots....

---

According to me. The difference between two set is very much unfair. How much normalisation you do. Hard paper affect the performance, even in the examination hall too. When a person is unable to solve a lot of question in a row. His / Her confidence become very low and even for experienced candidate it's hard to be cool and only focus on the question. People actually prepare for that 3 hours for the whole year. That's what make them more nervous and they are unable to do good. Plus a time management issue also arises. You just can't look at a question and declare it out of syllabus. We have to give 3-4 minutes. And an hard question requires 2 read as well. So my suggestion is that there are hell lot of colleges in INDIA for conducting an exam in one go. I don't know why they opted for such a solution. GATE is getting more depended on luck then ability, Last time I was unlucky, I prepared hard but got stuck. This time I even didn't read everything properly but I was lucky. I have friends who prepared this more harder than previous year and they deserve more marks then me. I can feel the pain of all the people who were again scheduled for set 1. IIT should stop this unfair game and should not schedule everything in one go otherwise. Student will have to wait for there luck rather than preparing for concepts.

---

Well said. You completely narrated the truth. Now education in India depends on luck moreover a lottery system with no due consideration to hard work and concepts. This is disgusting.

Gaussian distribution = normal distribution.Therefore, not out of syllabus.
