GATE Tips & Tricks
1.Material Collection
- Syllabus
- All the relevant books based on the subject(Divide the books in two groups - (1) Fundamental and basic concepts (2) Problem oriented
- Some books helpful for pre-requisite knowledge on the subject
- Some good guide books for GATE
- Previous questions papers
3.Study - Syllabus and Previous questions papers
4.Start from the first chapter
- read at least 5 books, it will widen your knowledge(if necessary consult with the books for pre-requisite knowledge or with some expert)
- Note down the probable concepts(definitions, unit, dimension etc.)
- Note down necessary theories, formulae etc
- Solve problems as maximum as possible(from text books, Guide books etc)
- Think about various tricks in solving problems(if necessary, note it)
- Go for series of self tests based on this chapter(take other's help to conduct tests)
- Continue the self tests until getting a very good score
6.Follow the same procedure for the rest chapters
7.Finally, go for self tests based on whole syllabus(take other's help to conduct these tests)
8.Well, So...... on the exam day…you will be at your best, who can stop you?
(Info) Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) : Score & Calculation
The GATE Score of a candidate is in the range 0 to 1000. It reflects the performance of a candidate, irrespective of the GATE paper or year in which he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE Score from different GATE papers and/or years can be considered to have the same performance level.
The marks obtained by the candidate are normalized on the basis of the average and standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on the scorecard in GATE. Subsequently, this is scaled with respect to the global average and global standard deviation so as to facilitate performance comparison across GATE papers and over a block of years since GATE 2004.
GATE SCORE :Formula For GATE Score is as given
1000/150[ag+sg(m-a/s)] Where
m = marks obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
ag = global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years (2005-2008)
sg = global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years (2005-2008)
GATE Percentile Score
The percentile score of a candidate indicates the percentage of candidates who appeared in the same paper and scored less marks than him/her. It is calculated as follows: If N is the total number of candidates appearing in a paper, then the percentile score P is given as,
P = (number of candidates who have scored less marks than the candidate / N) x 100
The Maximum Score can be 1000.
| GATE Score Range | Ability Level |
|---|---|
| 800 to 1000 | Outstanding |
| 675 to 800 | Excellent |
| 550 to 675 | Very good |
| 425 to 550 | Good |
| 300 to 425 | Above average |
| 100 to 300 | Average |
| Below 100 | Below average |
The evaluation of the ORS is carried out by a computerized process using scanning machines, with utmost care. Requests for revaluation of the answer script and re-totaling of marks will not be entertained.
The GATE result and particulars of the qualified candidates will be made available to interested organizations (educational institutions, R & D laboratories, industries, etc.) in India and abroad based on written request by the organization and on payment. Details can be obtained from GATE Chairmen of IITs/IISc.
