This one is online, probably for the first time. PGEE has questions similar to GATE level, however some questions are very conceptual and you may never be able to solve it. But don't panic, there's no negative marking. The aptitude section would consist of large comprehension texts, and very basic aptitude questions. The subject paper has a lot of c programming questions. So my advice is prepare that well. I think this time they dont have the cut off for GA section, because otherwise they would explicitly mention it in their homepage. But lets not risk it. And yes, be careful about multiple choice questions.. Where you need to select all correct options. IIIT hyderabad will not disclose any marks, and mostly the shortlist procedure will be relative. Some questions would be very ambiguous too. All the best gauravkc commented Apr 20, 2018 Like reply Follow Share Hey, is it true that many GATE questions are repeated as it is? Neelay Upadhyaya commented Apr 20, 2018 Like reply Follow Share No, GATE questions are never repeated as is. gauravkc commented Apr 20, 2018 Like reply Follow Share Thanks :) If possible can you suggest any important topics (or topics from which you saw questions) from CN, CO and OS? I think CN and OS were added previous year only and they are pretty huge subjects :/ Neelay Upadhyaya commented Apr 20, 2018 Like 1 reply Follow Share As far i remember, questions from OS were theoretical (which of the following statements are true/false). In CN questions were asked from efficiency of protocol and rsa algo. CO had questions from caches. You can also expect 5-7 questions from digital logic on Gates and k maps. These questions are easy. Neelay Upadhyaya commented Apr 20, 2018 Like 1 reply Follow Share OS also focuses on threading and synchronization. gauravkc commented Apr 20, 2018 Like reply Follow Share Thanks! :) Neelay Upadhyaya commented Apr 21, 2018 Like reply Follow Share I take my word back about GATE questions not being repeated as is.. :D Akhilesh Singla commented Apr 21, 2018 Like 1 reply Follow Share Not only GATE, they even gave questions from the sample paper of this year! rahul sharma 5 commented Apr 21, 2018 Like reply Follow Share Direct questions from sample paper?That's interesting!!!!! Akhilesh Singla commented Apr 21, 2018 Like 1 reply Follow Share Question 1 and 2 of sample paper section 2 were asked as it is. If I remember correctly they were in section 1 in exam, which means each of them was of 2 marks! They gave 5-10 previous years(not too old) GATE questions as it is.
