Hi,

I am a 2019 Btech - CSE graduate with a CGPA of 7.49. My 2019 Gate score is 655. I heard that course is new, and not much information is provided in their site.

Do I have a chance with my current score ? Will there be an interview ?

Thank You

function top_avg(students){
	var len = students.length;
	var top01 = 40;
	if(len > 10000){
		top01 = 80;
	}
	var sum = 0.0;
	for (var i = 0; i < top01; i++) {
		sum += students[i].marks;
	}
	return sum/top01;
}

The above code means, everyone rank will jump suddenly when the $10000^{th}$ user comes, while that’s fine, it can be improved. 

By calculating the $top01$ value dynamically based on the length of `students.length`, just multiply by $0.0001$

Unless its already done. I just checked the $github$.

Yesterday I received a text message from some site called "wooe" and I think many other GATE aspirants would have also received the same. 
They advertise by sending the below SMS: 
GATE 2020 Important Notification released all aspirant are advised to check click http://bit.ly/2moRuzB
Screenshot below:
 
It seems like they are offering test series for ₹479 and they give free "netflix" for one year for "educational purposes". They also claim to have faculties from IIT-Madras. 
Adding to this there are a lot of reviews to this in Quora. All these reviews are fake.
There are complaints lodged against this website which can be seen in consumer court site as well.
 
GATE site has this below message: (http://gate.iitd.ac.in/
"GATE 2020 authority is not involved with any specially designed test series for GATE aspirants. Please do not believe in the phishing/fake emails which are being circulated to the GATE aspirants by some fraudulent groups . Please note that all the relevant information about the GATE 2020 is available only at this official website."
 
Hopefully this keeps everyone informed here and prevent people falling prey to such frauds.

This year IIT-Guwahati will organize their counseling for MTech CSE Jul-19 batch on 15/May/2019. And as it is not possible for everyone to visit IITG for counseling because everyone has their own reason for example dates are clashing, 1-day difference between the Guwahati and other IITs exam, unable to get travel arrangement, etc. And thus they are providing an authorized person for attending counseling on the candidate's behalf. Last year @Arjun sir acted as an authorized person, so this year also is it possible Arjun sir?

Please, Arjun sir do something here.

For the year 2019 GATE I have got 622/1000 in gen category for CSE. I have decided to try again for GATE 2020 so that I will do better.

 

But if I get less score next time, will I be able to apply for M.Techs in respective institutions by using my 2019 score instead of the 2020 scorecard?

 

Yes I know I have taken undue risk and I have heard more than enough about it. And I am confidant because in spite of very bad home conditions I was able to jump from 10363 to 1797 AIR in GATE 2019 and GATE 2020.

In case of any interviews, whether for further studies or job, will it matter  I have 2+ year gap?

Hi All,

Could you please share the interview Experience for IISC Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences? If anyone has joined IISC Bangalore in Interdisciplinary research project, how is the experience?

It will be really helpful.

Many of the toppers have given testimonials about their success and achievements...congrats to you all..I know you all had done great hardwork otherwise you will not have achieved rank below 1000.

You people may have clarity where to study and what to do... But there are many people like me who even though worked hard failed on d - day..

Many of the people like me don't know where to join or take admission with score around 540…

Plz if any one know any details about any colleges or universities or any good institutes where we can get admission with scores around 540 and rank around 3500 general..plz comment on this post…

It will do greater good for us...we can only rely on seniors and experts ..

Thank you..

A failure.

Congratulations on the wonderful success that you achieved in GATE 2019. The trend this year is unprecedented, and I see lot many candidates scoring above 60 as compared to previous years.

This post is targeted towards candidates having a GATE score of 600-700. As you might have guessed it, I’ll be talking about IIT-Gn.

Admission Process:

You have to apply through their website. Shortlisted candidates will be called for a Written Test-Coding Test followed by an Interview. The shortlisting usually involves a minimum GATE of 600(they may change it, so can’t guarantee).

Written Test:

This test generally consists of questions from Discrete Maths and Algorithms(these are relatively tough). Some basic questions from OS, DBMS. You have negative marking as well. Marking scheme last year was +2, -1. So avoid guessing, if unsure.

Coding Test:

They are looking for candidates who can code well. This doesn’t mean that you need to be a fantastic coder. Although I would suggest to start coding easy and medium problems on Hackerrank. That should be enough. The coding platform would most likely be Hackerrank.
Hackerrank Sections for practice:

Arrays, Trees, Strings, Greedy. (Try to solve easy and medium level problems.)

Interview:

Interviews are medium to tough, depending on the panel you are alloted in. Most professors at IIT Gn work on theoretical computer science and algorithms. So if you say your favourite subject is Algorithms, be prepared to prove the correctness of your solution.

I would also suggest to conceptualize the properties of Graphs(eg Bipartite-Odd Cycle) as well. Most professors love questions on graphs.

For more details refer to previous blog on IIT-Gn on GO.

Admission process aside, it’s natural to have this question as to why should you consider IIT Gn. This is a new IIT and Computer science discipline started in 2016. M.Tech programme for CS started in 2017. But if you looking for quality research, especially in theoretical computer science, then this is a great place to come. I’ll list some great things about IIT Gn:

  • Most faculties have done their Ph.D from top IITs, IMSc.
  • As mentioned before, it is great for Algorithms. But it is also relatively good for Machine Learning, AI and Computer Vision. We have excellent professors who work on practical as well as theoretical AI.
  • The course structure is quite good. It has flexibility to choose the course that suits your needs.
  • Average placement for CS M.Tech 2017 batch is 13lpa(and it will only improve).
  • We have a top quality campus- “Green campus”  as we call it, with all the required amenities.

IIT Gn focuses on research more, and therefore I feel you won’t be let down by the fact it is a new IIT. Additionally, you will have ample of internship opportunities as well. So if you are inclined towards research(future Ph.D), then I would suggest this as a great option. On the other hand, if you are placement oriented, and you can’t get any old IITs or top NITs, then you should consider this college.

If you have any further queries, you can ask me or @srivivek95 or @Despair Darkness

My GATE score is 622 and rank is 1797. (CSE).My B.Tech DGPA was 8.32 and percentage 75.7. Is it good enough for M.S admissions? What should i prepare for interviews for the same? What will be the benefit of doing M.S from IIT/NIT? Will it hurt my career options?

I need help in deciding which institutes I should apply for using my GATE score. I wanted to do M.Tech but this is not an option in IITs or NITs(Top). Looking for suggestions where I can apply.

I will give ISI CMI BITS pilani entrance and IIIT-H. Please give me more suggestions. What about cross departmental branches in IIT/NIT?
