GATE 2014 is being organized by IIT Kharagpur.<br /><br />2. The examinations for all the papers will be conducted in computer based Online Examination mode in multiple sessions spread over the period from 1st February 2014 to 9th March 2014.<br /><br />3. The Online Examination is proposed to be conducted in 12 sessions on 6 days (1st, 2nd, 15th, 16th February, 2014 and 1st and 2nd March 2014) with extra buffer sessions, if needed.<br /><br />4. All examinations will be conducted on Saturdays and Sundays. Time-slots decided are 9 AM to 12 noon and 2 PM to 5 PM. (i.g., GATE 2014 duration will be 3 hours.)<br /><br />5. There'll be only one paper per branch. No two-tier exam.<br /><br />6. The structure for all papers in GATE 2014 will be similar to the papers for which the examination was conducted in ONLINE mode in GATE 2013.<br /><br />7. Different types of Questions:<br />* Normal multiple-choice type questions<br />* Common data type questions (4 questions; 8 marks)<br />* Linked answer type questions (4 questions; 8 marks)<br />* Numerical answer type questions (about 15-20 marks)<br /><br />8. Different Sections:<br />* Section 1: 25 questions; 25 marks<br />* Section 2: 30 questions; 60 marks (Includes Common-data & Linked que)<br />* GA Section 1: 5 questions; 5 marks<br />* GA Section 2: 5 questions; 10 marks<br /><br />9. Mock tests will be conducted during 25th to 29th of January 2014 using old question papers loaded on the respective zonal websites of GATE 2014.<br /><br />10. The Online Examination Test Software features:<br />* Keyboard should be disabled.<br />* Use of a virtual keypad.<br />* The candidate cannot exit the exam at any point of time during the entire duration of the test.<br /><br />Reference: http://iitkgp.ac.in/tenders/gate_online.pdf<br />--------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Official notification for GATE 2014 will be out sometime in the mid of September 2013. But, as of now, we can interpret some conclusions. <br />Take some time to realize that there is nothing to worry about these changes and I would rather say the changes are for the good. <br />Here is why ::<br /><br />1. The duration of GATE examination and the paper format remains almost the same as of previous years.<br /><br />2. The numerical answer questions will summarily wipe out candidates who tend to have less knowledge, but fluke more and get lucky.<br /><br />3. No more filling up bubbles with pen, thereby saving a lot of precious time during the examination. This is same for everybody, but I would put it this way: Nobody gets screwed due to bubble filling mistakes, so you also don't get screwd!<br /><br />4. A computer-based examination spread over multiple sessions (at least for branches with huge no. of candidates like CS, EC, etc.) cannot be difficult or very difficult since it will impose enormous complexity during normalization of the test scores from different days. So, GATE 2014 is expected to be either easy or of average difficulty level, and therefore you can expect some pretty high scores in GATE 2014 by those who answer numerical answer type questions carefully.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Stick to the basics. <br />Practice a lot. <br />Solve a lot of numericals.<br />Enjoy...<br /><br />Cheers!!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841247312723319730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-8620055814216916922013-06-12T10:35:27.256+05:302013-06-12T10:35:27.256+05:30According to the tender notice for the gate 2014, ...According to the tender notice for the gate 2014, the exam will be computer based for all the papers http://iitkgp.ac.in/tenders/gate_online.pdf<br /><br />The Organizing Institute for <br />GATE 2014 is IIT Kharagpur.

This way number of seats and funding can be increased.<br /><br /><br />4.Someone in the comments mentioned IQ tests.Typically IITian and a pseudo elitist point of view.I would mention here studies conducted by Dr Edward De Bono.<br /><br />5.Instead of a bunch of engineers make a mess,some psychologists must be involved to figure out a way to better judge people on a large scale.<br />___________________________________<br />To validate my points I would like to put before you the views of some people who've been in the IITs and have done their higher studies in MIT,Stanford etc.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://www.quora.com/Indian-Institutes-of-Technology/What-do-IITs-lack-which-universities-like-MIT-Stanford-Harvard-Cornell-or-CMU-have</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252367998346191128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-82828714288255896232013-06-02T11:49:45.755+05:302013-06-02T11:49:45.755+05:30I am not an expert on this subject but reading all...I am not an expert on this subject but reading all the discussions above, I think that there won't be any drastic changes in GATE 2014 pattern.

Of course, if I hear about anything, I will write about it.<br /><br />I see nothing wrong with PSUs or anyone else using results of GATE score.<br /><br />The problem that Gjaya has pointed out is not just due to PSUs, but due to existence of multiple universities. People apply to multiple places and get selected at multiple places, and block seats. The solution lies in first, giving more time to everyone for completing multiple rounds of processes. As I have been saying for UG admissions also, the admission process (that is, the first exam) must start a year before the joining date. If you cramp everything in a couple of months, it will lead to the problems of this type. So GATE should be given in 6th or 7th semester, and not 8th semester.<br /><br />Second, there should be an incentive for students to take early decision. The admission process in this country has become seriously stressful since the Government of India decided that 100% of the fee has to be refunded even if the student withdraws one day before the semester begins. This has led to actually more students losing more money, since the admissions have been pushed into the semester.<br /><br />Third, the Indian Institutions have to learn to make more offers than the number of seats based on past experience. (We do that at IIT Kanpur, and we have never gone beyond the sanctioned strength in the final numbers who accept the offers.)Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-44054553633814985712013-03-23T09:18:31.261+05:302013-03-23T09:18:31.261+05:30Will iit's have to go for number of selection ...Will iit's have to go for number of selection rounds due to PSU's as a candidate who firstly get a seat in IIT and then in a PSU if leaves IIT, This situation will be commmon to almost TOP 1000 Rankers?

I got AIR of 17402 and a quite good percentile (remember without preparation) of 92.24 approx. Also i did not made more than 5 guess in exam.<br /><br />check my score at <a rel="nofollow">http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5535/gatescore.png</a><br /><br />What does this means? My stats make it quite clear that there is huge number of applicants go for GATE without any preparation. And it is not tough to just crack GATE if you have learn a little bit.<br /><br />But this really created a situation for IITS as they got 12,00,728 application for GATE and 9,84,855 students appeared in the exam. And we all know that in India bribe is like tea/coffee of morning and evening. Now think about how they have managed security at the exam centers to keep the results clear from any kind of cheating.<br /><br />So as I can see that if I have got AIR 17402 then the AIR of the students who have cracked the GATE CS exam will be around 15000(6.7% approx of total) and it means that if IIT propose a simple screening as mentioned by Dheeraj sir and get 15% of applicant then it will not be a problem in reality because it will still keep applicants without any preparation. So in all if they did not prepared then they were not going to crack the GATE. And if they really want to crack GATE then they can simply do their normal preparation and they will easily clear the screening and get ahead to GATE Advance.<br /><br />And an answer for those who are thinking about physics, chemistry etc. inclusion in the screening. Just forget about it; as it is obvious that they are following JEE way of screening to short the number of students in the Gate Advance not to make the exam tough. also Neither it is mentioned nor it make any sense of inclusion of subject which are not in your qualifying degree. Just think about it JEE is for 12th science stream students, so it is obvious that they include PCM in syllabus of JEE because these are the subjects in 12th science stream. In our case we do not have these subjects so if the screening is going to happen then that will be consists of subjects of our qualifying degree. So do not afraid about it and do whatever you were going to do if there was no screening.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Sandeep<br />[ IGNOU Back Bencher ;) ]SANDEEPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17186665131132207506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-80469529921080434742013-03-20T12:07:51.401+05:302013-03-20T12:07:51.401+05:30Respected sir, All the information given by you, I...Respected sir, All the information given by you, Is showing maximum chances of GATE 2014 pattern change?

I dont know whether they are fully feasible..<br />1)If anyways they want to conduct 2 exams, let them conduct one for <br />M.tech/Ph.d selections and one for PSU recruitment(Bcoz..PSU want to use this score)<br />Let PSU's decide on what kind of syllabus and pattern they want and execute with help of GATE committe as usual.<br /><br />2) Conduct only one exam wherein the candidate will be given an option(When filling online application) for Masters/Phd, PSU, Both. Now the candidate who's specific and determined to do his masters will write exam appropiate exam, and who wanna write PSU will write vice versa.<br /><br />Anyways if they are planning for online let them conduct it based on preferences for Masters/PSU/Both and calculate scores and Ranks independently.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183477845687361157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-47802897439061536682013-02-17T18:55:21.392+05:302013-02-17T18:55:21.392+05:30@ prasanna, good questions. please sir answer as s...@ prasanna, good questions. please sir answer as soon as possible.sir i am also waiting for your reply.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640191589280360775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-49500094864077459582013-02-17T18:51:31.505+05:302013-02-17T18:51:31.505+05:30yes sir please answer to prasanna's questions ...yes sir please answer to prasanna's questions because, i am also preparing for gate 2014.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152198923234863810noreply@blogger.com
