Question

#go_hardcopy_2020 Second set of prebooking is now closed. If you book now it'll be considered for third and final round to be shipped by July 31 or before.

• Shipping date for first set is scheduled on July 26
• Shipping date for second set will be between 26-30 July
• Shipping date for third set will be before July 31.

We have started the pre-booking for GO Hardcopy 2020. Major changes compared to last year

1. GATE 2019 and some other missing questions mainly from TIFR added
2. Aptitude questions almost doubled as all aptitude questions across all branches are now completely added
3. Paper quality same as last year but light reflection problem is solved by using Matt finish
4. QR codes and other features remain the same
5. Section stitched and perfect binding used – will be like any standard book with no binding issue
6. Images and Tables redone for fixing formatting issues and better clarity
7. Font size increased compared to last year for better viewing
8. Grammatical and other corrections
9. Almost every answer suffixed with Answer key for quick reference
10. CMI/ISI questions are now not part of the book as they will be made in a separate softcopy (will be emailed to the buyers in about 3 months time) and this requires time to make them complete. But all TIFR questions are included in the hardcopy
11. Direct buy from GO site will be available only till July end. After this, and after this book will be available on Amazon from August beginning. (Expected price on Amazon will be Rs. 1900 as they take extra for their commission)
12. Please see http://book.gateoverflow.in/ for last year PDF 
13. Like last time we have 3 separate books
    1. Volume 1 for Engineering Mathematics and General Aptitude
    2. Volume 2 for Algorithms, TOC, Programming & DS and Compilers
    3. Volume 3 for OS, COA, Digital, CN and DBMS
14. No. of pages are not finalized but on average 650 pages for each book
15. Total price for 3 books  is Rs. 1400 + Rs. 200 shipping = Rs. 1600. 
16. While paying you give your shipping details, and this will be confirmed again by around June 25 via email before books are dispatched
17. Any queries regarding the book – please comment here only. 
18. The codename for this year book is “With Love from GO” and this can be seen in the book

Comments

yes. You can make use of last year PDFs as more than 80% of the content will be the same for volumes 2 and 3 and any changes you can anyway see on the site. We'll be working on the volume 3 almost until the books go for printing and there is practically no time to make the softcopies until then which will be early next week. After that will start the softcopy work -- but how much time it takes depends on the errors we'll get on the way.

---

Strange, no email was received here from your email id. Anyway I have canceled it now.

---

Sir when it will be available in amazon?

---

Just confirmed the shipping dates. So the above dates given should be final. Between August 10-15 it should reach Amazon. From then it'll only be available on Amazon. Price on Amazon will be 1950 including shipping with prime delivery.

---

Sir, just like ISI and CMI questions and answers, will all the previous years' ISRO questions and answers also be provided in a separate soft copy to the buyers?

---

Making ISRO PDF should be easy but they are insignificant for GATE preparation. Will see after a week when we decide the pipeline of things to do.

---

@Arjun Sir, I have make payment for the book but i haven't get confirmation.

My transaction id is:- P1907141925553918924609

 

---

Even though the pre booking is closed...if i go ahead and pay for the books..will that confirm the booking or should I wait for the next round of pre booking

---

"Your transaction has succeeded and order is confirmed. As this is a prebooking, please wait till July 31 for getting the Tracking details. Incase you need a change in shipping address, please reply back to the address confirmation email which you will get between 20-27 July"

By when shall i be recving the books most probably ? @Arjun sir

---

It was said that there will be an address verification done between 10 to 20 th of july but i didnt receive any such mail fir address verification for GO 2020 book..

---

@kriti05 even I got the same mail, I think the best thing is to wait until 20th. 

---

@kriti05 can you please tell me when did you got the email. I didn't receive any mail  regarding the one you said. May be I might have missed.

Please let me know anyone who got the mail

Thank you

---

Hi, the previous email was sent to only those who booked in the first slot which was till around June 20. But all those who booked till now will get address confirmation email by Saturday. Books will be dispatched as told in the post description.

---

i did not get any address confirmation mail though i booked in first slot

---

@Arjun Will it be possible to add if a question is one mark or two mark question for the soft-copy? Or it's unnecessary / redundant? Or there's way to know this already in 2019 version and I'm missing something. I'd like to suggest if it's possible and not going to take much extra work. Thank you.

---

 there's way to know this already in 2019 version and I'm missing something. I'd like to suggest if it's possible and not going to take much extra work.

As due to late in delivery we are using old GO Softcopy.So, this suggestion would be great help for checking missing questions new GO Softcopy.

 

---

@Arjun, Sir the address confirmation email I received only shows the Pincode, not the detailed address I have given, Will the GO book delivered at my given detailed address?

---

@arjun sir is it possible to reconfirm address after reply of address change so get sure that address is successfully changed

---

@Arjun sir, I am yet to get the address confirmation email. Apologies if you meant by next saturday, I waited for this saturday actually. Can you kindly confirm.

---

yeah me too.
I did not get the address confirmation mail.
I booked on June 30.

---

Can you check your Spam too? Address confirmation mail was sent to everyone who booked till yesterday.

Yes, since a lot of people have address change, will be sending a mail once again by Wednesday after doing the changes to ensure no mistake.
