MY OFFER LETTERS (PROUD and HAPPY  MOMENTs )

GATE 2016,2015,2014 and 2013 ECE RECORD (MARKS,AIR & SCORES)

I have collected the marks,gate scores and all india ranks of many GATE 2016 electronics and communication students which covers various a wide range of  AIRs.I believe that this will be very useful for future gate aspirants on setting a target mark to achieve and also to predict their AIRs in GATE 2017 based on their performance then.


Regarding the Normalisation procedure,

Session 1 (Jan 30 MORNING) : Was allotted with  8 marks due to errors in the GATE ECE paper to all.The normalisation saw an overall increase in the average marks which lead to a negative normalisation of 2-4 marks.

Session 3 (Jan 31 MORNING): It was regarded as the most difficult GATE paper in ECE over past 10 years.Normalisation saw an increase in marks by 9-11 marks.

Session4 (Jan 31 AFTERNOON): The difficulty level was in par with session 1 and normalization did not have much effect on the marks.



Rank Prediction(ECE)

AIR < 30          Marks above 71

AIR < 100        Marks above 66

AIR < 200        Marks above 62

AIR < 500        Marks above 56

GATE PRACTICE PAPERS (ECE/EE/IN)

Practising questions is a must for any gate aspirant.I have collected previous years ECE gate papers which will be very useful for your preparation.Some of the papers have solutions as well.Try to solve them all and discuss the difficult questions with your friends or in facebook gate groups. 


GATE 1991 to 2016 Papers are available below.

Here are the GATE ECE PAPERS from NPTEL and GATEFORUM websites.

For Subject Wise and Yearwise Gate papers of ECE,EE,IN,CS,MECH and CIVIL from Nodia & Company,

"Solving lots of problems from previous year GATE papers will help to familiarize with the kind of questions that appear in the exam and will make you more confident on the day of exam. This will also help you in recognising the topics of higher importance".



I have also uploaded  MOCK EXAM papers conducted by various online websites below:
