After the GATE exam, I searched on YouTube and for blogs from students. I wanted to know what it’s like to do an M.Tech at the IITs. However, I felt like there’s not enough information from a student’s perspective. Anything related to this subject focuses mainly on the placement interviews of people who got fat packages or one, two-digit ranks. There is a severe lack of information about the 2 years that happen in between.

Take for example this blog by an IIT Delhi student. It gave me a satisfying amount of information about the M.Tech course and life at the college. There’s info about the courses they do, the projects they make, the amount of programming involved, advice for someone choosing that college and more helpful stuff. It made me wish that there were more similar blogs from students at other IITs.

I’m aware that there is not much difference in the faculty, curriculum, placements and to some extent, the hostel life at all top IITs. You cannot go wrong in choosing any of them. But still, I believe that the postgraduates should share more.

My request is a simple one – the future students of M.Tech courses at IITs should try to share their experiences. Hopefully it’ll match the amount of GATE preparation advice, interview and written test experiences available on the internet.

I successfully completed 4 years in GO( feeling awesome). Actually I didn’t knew about GO when I was preparing for GATE’17 in 2016. One fine day after GATE’18, I’m just checking the questions (curious about how was the paper) and searching for answers which aren’t solved by me, the first link shown by google for the 2-3 questions is GO. After that I realized that, Gate overflow is especially for CSE gate aspirants. Maintaining something is more harder than Initiating it, that too as a free service - kudos to @Arjun sir for maintaining it over the years. Most beatiful things in Go are discussions. Those are really made my misconceptions clear. Aspirtants try to involve in healthy discussions as much as possible, clear your misconceptions and share your knowledge. I didn’t follow standard books, after starting reading books, my anaytical skills also improved as a result my rank jumped from AIR-330 to AIR-106. Some people saying GO is hard at users, but believe me, constructive arguements are allowed in GO, until unless you’re neither offending someone or nor disobeying the rules while asking your questions. I seen many people who need a solution for their questions instead of overcoming where they stucked, this is not the best way of learning. Some are posting images instead of typing questions, but duplicates can’t be easily found by images as the quetions – Please be type your questions. Aspirants need to understand the fact that, everyone starts from ZERO. You just need to show consistency in learning daily, certainly you will reach the destination after some time. You just try to complete the syllubus, revision, takes periodical tests and then GATE. I sugget aspirants to attempt GO Tests by mentors which are free, quality of these tests are high than paid tests which are avaiablle in market.

At the begining, I was tried to answer the questions which I know, even though good answer exist for those questions. Slowly I turned to answer those questions which don’t have good answers, after that answered which questions are worth to answer and now just commenting the approach to solve a question – How I evolved over the years in GO.

Now-a-days GO is a hobby for me, hope I will cotinue to contribute something to GO. I take this as an opporutinity to thank you @Arjun sir for guiding me, helping me whenever I need, @Bikram for tests, @Habib, @DD, @Sachin, @praggy for your beautiful answers, @Deepak, @soumya29, @minipanda, @srestha, @Ayush for healthy discussions.

I searched throughout the internet and was not able to find a single blog that would provide any information about MTech CS written examination of ISI Kolkata that happened on  18th July, 2021. I have made this blog for starting a discussion about the paper and know what might be the expected cut-off this year. 

I attempted MTech CrS, Math section for PCB and was able to solve 4.5 questions out of 10. I did around 20 questions in PCA from which 3-4 I know  are incorrect. People who attempted  this year, how did your exams go and what do you expect from it? Also, what might be the tentative date for results? Also, I have a 2 month notice period in my company so when shall I give my resignation? Do I give my resignation after the results are announced or do I give it right now to avoid any problems? I am not sure about getting selected but just in case if I get selected I am willing to leave my company.

The main point is – GATE exam is lot conceptual & it is easy if your concepts are good, It is better to give more time to concepts.

Even if you have less time, at-least get the syllabus, get the topics in syllabus & study those topics from text books. After that see GO book for different variety of questions .

 

Then do a couple of questions from each topic, move to next one as soon as you are comfortable. Make sure you revise the concepts regularly & be confident..…

Anyway those who are preparing are expected to cover all topics by this month end. And they should be scoring 60+ in full length mock tests or minimum 50+. But the key is in getting this to improve by another 15-20 marks over the next 2 months.

 

This requires careful analysis of the exam performance - identifying weak topics - and making them strong (Even without any exam, you should be knowing your weak topics), learning how to avoid mistakes, learning how to optimize time better etc.…

 

But after this self improvement and revision must always be done individually. I was never a preacher and yet this is my third blog. I just wanted to say these for a long time.

Hope I have said everything now. All the best for GATE 2022 :)

The importance of previous years’ questions on Gate Exam is very high, most of the question in gate exam revolve around the previous 15 years questions....

These previous years’ question will give us a good understanding of what types of question they will ask in the exam, so we can make our preparation in that direction....

 

If I revise a subject, I take previous GATE questions and see if I can solve them. If not I revise again. Finally I'll solve them even after 1-2 days….

For ambiguous, confusing, difficult questions solutions might be worth looking.

But anyway after maximum 10 questions from a subject- one should know what to expect in GATE from that subject.

At this stage one can stop solving....

 

PS: Never run behind test series......

 

After completing a subject i solves 15 year pyq if i stuck in any question then i refer to notes. If i have not studied that topic then i looks solution…

 

This tip is very important specially when very less time is left in your GATE exam. In this time, you should focus only on solving previous year GATE question papers instead of your GATE study material question papers.

 

These question papers (ISRO, DRDO, etc) might have very difficult and challenging problems, but the focus of the GATE exam is on your aptitude, rather than the depth of the subject.

Therefore in my opinion, it’s better to solve last 15 year GATE question papers multiple times rather than solving questions from other material….

 

If you really want a good rank in GATE, then you should utilize your last month in solving last 15 year papers at least twice. You can easily do this by solving at least one paper a day. I would suggest you that after getting up in the morning, first of all solve at least one GATE question paper….

While solving the paper, keep in mind that you are sitting in the exam room. You can’t refer any books, notes or solutions and you have just 3 hours time limit.

After that you will be free to spent rest of the day in analyzing the question paper & your mistakes, revising notes and solving solving difficult problems etc…

 

I would also like to share my own experience which might help people who are working in some company. When I was preparing for my GATE Computer Science 2022 exam, in which I could achieve I used to get up between 4-5 am and then solve at least one question paper before going to office.

 

Then in free time , I used to analyze the paper & my mistakes and discuss the difficult problems with my friend. Revising of the notes was used to be done by me mostly in evening....

I hope it will help you in managing your preparation time ….

P.S. If you liked this tip, then I would like to request you to like it and share it with your friends. If possible, you can also share your experience in the comment, which might help other people..…

Hello Guys ...We can Discuss all Gate 2021 Shift 2 related Questions and doubts here. Please post your answers and any doubts here.

My thoughts on paper 2: Paper 2 was bit lengthy , as some questions were really time consuming. Also MSQ were bit tricky, I have seen paper 1 also, and it seems that paper 2 was bit tougher than paper 1, hope normalization would do some Justice.

Many institutes consider JEST score for selection including IISc Bangalore, TIFR, IISER and many more good institutes.You can check the list of participating institutes in official site.

  • JEST(Joint Entrance Screening Test) is conducted in many field and TCS(Theoretical Computer Science) is one of that field.
  • This exam is conducted after 1 or 2 weeks of GATE and forms are out in December.Mode of this examination is offline.
  • Duration of this exam is 180 minutes out of first 75 minutes are given for PART A and remaining for PART B.

JEST TCS exam is divided into 2 parts.

Part A (Objective)

Part B (Subjective)

1) PART A (Objective)

  • Part A consists of 25 questions.Each questions carry +3 marks for correct answer and -1 for incorrect answer.
  • Most of the question asked in Part A are from subject like DS,DAA,C prog,TOC, Discrete (P&C, graph theory specially).
  • Focus on TCS subject because Exam itself is TCS.
  • Difficulty level of questions are same as GATE so no extra preparation required for Part A if you have studied properly for GATE.
  • Just revision of your note is enough and if you are aiming for IISc then try to attempt as much as you can. According to me 20–21 questions are good attempt but incorrect questions should be less.
  • Because As of now JEST cut off for IISc CSA is just 45 rank so you may get good rank but if you secured above 45 rank then you may not get interview call.
  • One more thing you will get a interview call for M.Tech Research (RA) not for M.Tech Coursework(TA) in IISc.
  • Even though you qualified this exam in TCS(Theoretical Computer Science) still you can select any other research pool i.e; either TCS or Intelligent system or System software.
  • No need to worry about it just qualify and secured a good rank.

Even there are very less students who appeared in this exam but still do not take it lightly if you are aiming for IISc because you will have to be in at least top 45 to get a call and who knows cut off may be increased also so try to secure good rank.

JEST TCS 2019

  • 32 Marks-- 19 Rank
  • 45 Marks-- 11 Rank

JEST TCS 2020

  • 67 Marks-- 1st Rank
  • 56 Marks-- 8th Rank
  • 53 Marks-- 10th Rank
  • 52 Marks-- 11th Rank
  • 48 Marks-- 19 Rank
  • 46 Marks-- 28 Rank
  • 45 Marks-- 31 Rank
  • 43 Marks-- 36 Rank
  • 39 Marks-- 51 Rank

Now you can observe that how much Rank varies. So try to attempt as many as possible.

  • One more important thing is that Rank is given only on the performance of Part A means just secure good marks in part A and you will get a good rank irrespective of your performance in part B.
  • Level of questions is also good not too easy not too tough.Just believe in yourself and most of students who could not secure good rank in Gate, gets very good rank in JEST.

2) PART B(Subjective)

Part B itself is divided into 2 parts.

  • Part B(i)— 5 questions of 8 Marks each out of which 3 questions is compulsory to attempt.
  • Part B(ii)— 3 questions of 12 Marks each out of which 2 questions are compulsory to attempt.
  • Part B is the most challenging part.Due to subjective you will have to explain everything. Algorithm , Graph theory and TOC is most important topics for this part specially algorithm.
  • You will be asked to write a algorithm for particular questions and in Graph theory I was asked to prove a theorem and one question was to draw a DFA and one question was from Function (Discrete) where I was asked to prove something.

So overall this part is challenging you should have a very good knowledge in the subject.

  • Even though if you could not solve a single questions from part B; still you may get a decent rank if you scored good in part A because Rank is assigned on the basis of performance only in part A but still try to solve Part B because after 75 min your OMR sheet(PART A answer sheet) will be submitted and for remaining time you will have to solve only subjective so first solve objective part that is PART A because you have 75 min for PART A.

Only few college(IMSc) consider score of part B as well but for IISc,they just consider only performance in Part A i.e; Rank.

 

SUBJECTS FOR TCS: 

As I said exam itself is TCS so you need to prepare only TCS subject. As far as I know there were questions from following subjects( DS, DAA, C lang, TOC, Discrete Maths especially Graph Theory and P&C, Probability, LA). This is what I remember and I also asked to some other people and they said the same. Apart from these subjects, no need to focus on those subject for JEST like CN, COA, OS, DBMS, Eng Maths(except LA, Probability).

 

HOW TO PREPARE:

Although for part A, GATE preparation is enough but solve previous year question of GATE, TIFR, CMI and other similar exam. Someone was saying that there were many question from TIFR PYQ. So do not leave TIFR PYQ question.

While filling JEST form you have to select " Integrated PhD" option in Computer Science but don't worry you will still get M.Tech research because while applying for IISc you will have option to choose M.Tech research using JEST scorecard.

 

Q2: PYQ is available?

PYQ and syllabus is not available anywhere but I posted link for memory based question. Only memory based question paper is available.

 

I had to struggle a lot just for collecting JEST related information. So I am doing my best so that aspirants will not have to waste their time just for collecting information.If you still have a query, you can comment or ask me directly.

 

My LinkedIn account:  www.linkedin.com/in/navneettomar

 

PS 1: I secured AIR 36 in JEST TCS 2020. This year cut off for IISc was high due to covid-19. This year(2020) cut off was AIR 5 for CDS and AIR 20 for CSA for GEN. This year they filled only 50% seat for MTech(Research) comparison to last year. But from next year it will be lower than this year.  So don't follow this year cut off for your reference, you may be are getting under 50 then you may be shortlisted for interview. Just prepare for JEST and do best.

PGEE 2020 was conducted on 24th June 2020. I took it, my center was Rajkot, Gujarat. As they do not publish previous year papers, I thought some immediate memory-based topics which were most asked in the paper would be useful in coming years.

First paper was Aptitude:

  • Syllogism was asked extensively, prepare it really nice.

 

  • Comprehension based questions were easy, not much in content, but you must be ready to read longer paras than in GATE.

 

  • The questions based on figures(which is figure is different), those were as extensive as syllogism.  I haven't saw much of them in GATE/maybe a few, but in PGEE, it was asked with intent!

 

  • Some questions were like find out wrong word, recognize pattern(total around 5 questions from these topics.)


Overall, I would say level was definitely greater than GATE2020, but a basic knowledge on concepts of Aptitude will surely get you through this.

I don't remember what sort of Engineering Maths was asked.

Let's come to technical part, which is Computer Science and Engineering. I am not as sure in this as I am in Aptitude(Regarding which topics were asked), but I request every other student who took exam to add content to this blog, and make it complete!

  • C programming. It was asked. Really many questions, and good ones, like some good questions of GATE. Pointers were heart of all the C programming questions.

 

  • DSA. It was obvious, and it was asked. Most of them was based on Directed, Undirected, Weighted, MST, algorithms of MST. Make all permutations of topics of DSA I listed, and you will find questions. Be good in this, as they were not straight forward questions. You may find yourself in a good position if you have done these topics from CLRS.

 

  • DLD, COA was little. DLD-Mux simple question. COA-Basics only(I don't remember much about this subject, but GATE level prep should be more then enough)

 

  • Operating system was asked, GATE level I can say. If you know concepts well, easy walk.

 

  • Computer Networks, same as GATE level

 

  • Discrete Maths. It was asked, set, relations, functions were the topics. I would say definition of some basic things like symmetric, antisymmetric, and asymmetric relations etc(many definitions are there in DM) were the key part, previous year GATE questions, if you have done with proper understanding,  then DM should be easy walk too.


Interface was same as GATE. No negative marking in any section. 90 minutes for each section. We could not start 2nd section until we completed 90 minutes of the first, even if we answered all the Aptitude questions. No calculator, not even digital as we get in GATE was there. No questions with more than one options correct were there. Last year also, it was like this. I think are have done with this type of questions.

 

Hope you find it useful, and get admission in IIITH. I request all the students who took PGEE 2020 (CSE) to add their experiences and topics which were asked.

Dear Saurabh,

Please find below response to your queries:

 

Q 1. Fees:

For PGDIIT the semester wise fee structure is as follows:

a) Admission fee (one time payment) - Rs. 6500

b) Refundable Security Deposit (one time payment) - Rs. 5,000

c) Semester Fee (inclusive of Tuition fee and other allied charges) - Rs. 47,500

d) Mess and laundry advance - Rs. 19,000

 

Q 2 & 5. IITGN supports PGDIIT students for placement and internship. However, the statistics varies as it depends on the student's performance as well as the placement/internship opportunities available for the year for PGDIIT students.  

 

Q 3. For the admission test there is no specific syllabus. Once admitted a student can register for courses (floated for the semester) in consultation with his Faculty Advisor. 

 

Q 4.  It is usually not permitted.
 
Q 5. M.tech is a two year degree programme whereas PGDIIT is a diploma.
