The schedule followed by GATE Overflow for GATECSE 2022

GATE Overflow Test Series for GATE 2022

Schedule of Tests

Advantages of following this schedule:

  1. It is not the only good schedule possible but is one schedule where subject dependencies are met 
  2. Schedule organized into 4 modules:
    1. First 6 weeks covering aptitude and discrete mathematics fundamentals – most important
    2. Next 6 weeks covering a bit of hardware, programming and computer architecture – builds a good system level knowledge
    3. Next 6 weeks covering more theoretical subjects, probability and OS – building the base of Intelligent Systems
    4. Final 6 weeks to finish DBMS, Operating Systems, Computer Networks and Compiler Design 
  3. This schedule is tied to GATE Overflow Test series – subject tests will be added as per the schedule
  4. Preparation materials including reference links are provided on GO classroom (free for everyone) as per the schedule – to access GO classroom just create a new account on the home page of it and subscribe manually to each course
  5. Even if you are joining late, you can adjust your schedule accordingly - most assignments in GO classroom will allow late submissions and this schedule will be over by November end.
  6. Extra points to be followed will be updated here.
  7. GATE CSE Subject page should be used for the subject resources (will be updated as per schedule) and GO classroom has assignments in extra.
