Ode of Gratitude

Bringing learning under one roof

Of theorems and mathematical proofs

Born on this auspicious day

To you Sir Ode of Gratitude we pay

The contribution is beyond measure

We gain insight into the vast treasure

Birthdays are a special reminder

Blessed to have such  a path finder

May God shower his Blessings

Life found a direction missing

For time should stand still

Men of immense knowledge voids fill

Strength renewed,hopes revived

True learning in form of GO arrived

 

Once again wishing a Happiest Birthday from all Learners to Sir Arjun.

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?

Many aspirants say that they have covered GO PDF 2-3 times. If so answering the below questions should be so easy for them 😊

Actually these will be the most challenging questions from previous years and answering them can teach you a lot of concepts. If you answer any, please comment below. Good answers will be rewarded.

Gate has tricky questions rather than hard. In that state of mind, there are more chances to go wrong, not because of not remembering the formula but because of missing out some essential points.

Comment "Remember to ... " points to bring all such points under one post. For eg.

Remember to convert byte to bits in length on frame in Computer Network problems

In IISc admission form, when i am selecting department preferences, there i am getting

1-Computer Science & Engineering

2-Computational and Data Science

3-System Engineering

is the preference order correct?

and one more thing, there is nothing like Computer Science and Automation(CSA).

@Arjun sir, please help in this.

Thankyou!

I'm a guy from fiinal year Computer Engineering from a private college.

When I joined Engineering I'm very curious about everything about Computing! 

I entered in college with dreams of innovating something different in this tech-world. From very first day of Engineering some of my collagues talking about their future like GRE,CAT,GMAT,etc and I don't have any clue about that, then in next year I got to know about GATE from my senior friend in Civil Engineeing!

In my college no one is aware or I can say no one even know about GATE. And I heared from one of my friends that,

"Bro! agar tu GATE sirf crack bhi karega na to bhi tera 3-4 ka package to pakka hi hai!"

and I started R&D about GATE from internet sources like Quora and others.

One day I asked my friend who is topper of class, in fact topper of college.(around 9 CGPA till the date) that "Bro! are you appering for GATE?" then he replied "Bhaiyya! GATE bahot faadu exam hoti hai, from our college no one can able to make it large till the date! and that's the day I decied, Agar ye topper nahi kar sakta to mein kar ke dikhaunga! and I accepted the challenge of GATE.

In the end of 2nd year I joined GATEforum. (Which is more or less not worthy as far as CSE branch is concerned) with only motto of just cracking the GATE,Just 25 marks that's it!..

And day by day I was getting clear about subjects,topics and questions and to do this I got tremendous help from entire community family of Gateoverflow, Techtud, Ravindra Sir(Youtube only), Knowledge Gate(Sanchit Sir) and many many more people!

Day by day I procastinated big and big dreams of getting AIR-1,12,25,50,100,1000,blah,blah,blah! but now I didn't worry about my results because this journey of getting close and making one-to-many relationship with asymptotic notations,regular language and transaction management was awesome!

Today, I am getting around 40-50 marks in tests but I'm not worry about it because I know that I didn't give my 100% (not even 70%, because I'm too lazy and movie freak!!) for GATE! And I also know that

"Agar 2017 mein nahi to 2018 mein to fod hi dunga!"

So, in the last  best of luck to everyone-who are mad for GATE and these lines from my collection of poetries dedicated to this "Journey of GATE-2017!"

सफर! 
कैसा अनोखा है यह सफर...

....क्यों लगता है ऐसा कि जब पहोंचूंगा मेरी मंज़िल पर ,
तब वह जगह लगेगी मुझे मेरे माँ की गोदी कि तरह |

बस, चलता हि रहना चाहिए ये सफर इस 'बस' की तरह!

For full poetry: https://www.facebook.com/the.smartmeet/posts/1122228664556545

P.S. I know this is very long, but I am just overhelmed with my emmotions right now!

how to use gateoverflow site efficiently for gate preparation?
93

Director ME, stop copying answers from GO. Make your own(correct) key (if you can). 
Answers without explanation, people are paying just for this. Really??

NO CHANGE :)

 

Edit: After challenge, range modified for question number 25. Previously it was 34 now 34 to 35.

Thank you Gate Overflow team.
I prepared for my gate exam without joining any coaching only because of you. This site has helped me a lot.
I did not perform good in gate exam as I am expecting only 40.35 marks.When I analyze I got various reasons for this. Only 10 months before i decided to go for higher studies and started preparation for gate. As I am from an average college so my background was not so good. It took me long to buildup my basic concepts. I found this website just 4-5 months ago. And I was not familiar with this website as I was using this site only for solving some problems of previous years question. I was not aware about various things such as mock Go test etc.
Because of lack of experience of appearing in online test my time management was very bad and i did not complete reading/attempting all the questions even once. And due to this i loose 8-10 marks. There were questions on which I spent up to 20 minutes, my bad. 

Now I am looking forward for gate 2018.
So please guide me in the following situation:

My aim is clear that is of higher studies from a reputed college and for that I will appear in gate 2018 for sure. But the question is "Should I take admission in M. Tech in 2017 or not?"

I asked this question because my financial condition is not good and i wanted to take admission so that i will get stipend, but someone told me "If you leave the M. Tech course in between then you will have to return all the stipend you get during that period otherwise you will be blacklisted by IITs." So please confirm me if this is true?

Also guide me if it is true then what should I do now? whether to take admission and continuing preparation or do preparation at home? Because ultimately I want IITs for my M. Tech. I cannot join any coaching.
Thank you.

GATE Overflow — be the community, Facebook group or this website, its amazing to see how collaborative learning can be such overwhelming.

I have following ideas for this platform, just my personal opinion. From being software development domain its our task to see existing solution in such way that it can be improved and implement new feature / module found to be helpful in one way or other!

1. Talk to speech module for questioning, answering and comments. If its not latex-friendly answer we would have TTS plugin which would type as you say – saving precious type for writing.

2. Firefox/Chrome plugin, when you visit any website, go through any publication and you wish to share with masses or wish to keep a private list or may be ask/have query regarding the content, with one click you can push that everything to this platform.

3. Mobile app / Lite mobile site with in-app pushes. (If there exists such app, sorry I am un ware of it)

4. ML engine which would give you latest questions / generate question papers on fly (see the wilderness of my thoughts!)

5. Implementation of Night Mode and brain musics / waves to ease my learning.

6. Flash cards! For challenge I wish to generate them on fly — I will give standard text and expect flash cards, lots of flash cards!

7. Tracking of GO Books. PDF on-click to handle this!

Bonus,
More intuitive or simpler UI for platform and adding sans-serif font option in editor with a nice favicon for site with list of must-have open source tools.

This is just wilder list, do add or comments what features would make this platform more amazing.

let’s learn — let’s learn together!
