GATE 2016 will be held from January 30, 2016. That leaves GATE aspirants with around four months of preparation for what is one of the toughest entrance exams in the country. Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is an extremely

popular branch which also has one of the largest numbers of applicants for GATE. Around 200443 candidates had applied for ECE in GATE 2015. Considering that a good number of PSUs have also advertised for ECE candidates, who will have qualified GATE 2016, it is expected that this figure will not diminish.

Careers360 brings forth concise preparation guidelines for GATE 2016 Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) candidates in this EBook. Compiled from the interviews with experts, toppers and alike, these guidelines covering important topics and books are just meant to aid students in their preparation for GATE 2016. It is imperative for students to check the complete GATE 2016 Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) Syllabus before starting their preparation. We strongly advise students to study the whole prescribed syllabus and not just rely on the topics mentioned in this book.

Success is nothing more than a simple few disciplines, practiced every day.

So study the concepts, get them right, practice the formulae, solve the problems and do this every day till the day of the GATE 2016 Exam. Success will be yours.

All the Best!

GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is the All India examination that is used to screen the applicants from across the country for admissions

to the various Post Graduate courses in Engineering in the IITs, IISc Bangalore, NITs, some CFTIs and many private institutes as well as many state universities.

GATE is an entrance test designed to test the comprehen-sive understanding of the various subjects in Engineering and Technology of the applicants. Candidates can apply to the PG courses like M.Tech/M.E/ Integrated courses like M.Tech-Phd and even M.Des at some IITs on the basis of their GATE 2015 scores. GATE qualified candidates are given preference over other candidates in many state con-ducted entrance exams.

Salient Points of GATE 2016:l GATE 2016 will be organized by Indian Institute of

Science, Bangalore supported in the operations at the zonal level by the seven IITs namely IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, IIT Guwahati, and IIT Roorkee

introduction to GATE 2016

l Admission to the IITs and IISC is based on the GATE scores.

l The GATE 2016 Application Form will be completely online. Candidates will have to upload the supporting documents as specified along with their photograph and signature.

l The Application Process will be through GOAPS (GATE Online Application Processing System )

l GATE 2016 will also be completely online and held in multiple sessions for those papers that have a large number of applicants.

l GATE 2016 Admit Card will have to be downloaded by candidates and will not be available to candidates through any other means.

l Biometric information (Photograph and Fingerprints) for randomly selected candidates may be captured before the start of the examination

l The Result will be available to candidates after logging while the GATE 2016 Score Card will also need to be downloaded within the given time frame by students.

l GATE 2016 Scores are valid for a period of three yearsl An increasing number of PSUs are recruiting candidates

on the basis of their GATE scores.

Some new changes have been introduced in GATE 2016. Candidates must be aware of them before applying. They are listed as below

New Paper: GATE 2016 will see the introduction of a new paper- Petroleum Engi-neering raising the number of papers to 23.

Use of Online Calculator: Candidates will no longer be permitted to carry their own calculators to the exam hall. Instead Online Calculators will be provided within the exam in the system. To allow candidates to familiarize themselves with the Online Calculator, it will be made available shortly before the exam along with the mock test.

Syllabus Revision: The Syllabi of some papers has been revised. Candidates must check the GATE 2016 Syllabus for the respective paper before starting their preparation.

Provision of the Answer Key: The Answer Keys of the various GATE 2016 Question Papers will be made available to the candidates after the exam is completed. Candidates will also be given a chance to raise objections if any within a given period for a requisite amount of fee. The Final Answer Key will be published after the considerations of any such objections that are raised by students.

General Aptitude (GA) Questions: This is a compulsory section carrying 15 marks and will have 5 questions carrying 1 mark each (sub-total 5 marks) and 5 questions carrying 2 marks each (sub-total 10 marks). A total of 10 questions will be asked in this section

Rest of the Paper: will have 25 questions carrying 1 Mark each and 30 questions carrying 2 Marks questions each making the Total Questions asked to be 55 and Total Marks 85

Engineering Mathematics: This section will carry around 15% of the total marks

Electronics & Communication Engineering: The rest of the 70% of the questions will be from Electronics & Communication Engineering

GATE 2016 Exam pattern:


7



Design of Questions in the GATE 2016 Paper:

(i) Recall: These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline of the paper..

(ii) Comprehension: These questions will test the candidate's understanding of the basics of his/her field, by requiring him/her to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas.

(iii) Application: In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge either through computation or by logical reasoning.

(iv) Analysis and Synthesis: In these questions, the candidate is presented with data, diagrams, images etc. that require analysis before a question can be answered. A Synthesis question might require the candidate to compare two or more pieces of information.

Types of Questions asked:

Multiple Choice Questions Numerical Questionsl These questions carry 1 or 2 marks

each in all papers and sections.

l They are objective in nature with a choice of four answers, out of which the candidate has to mark the correct answer(s).

l These questions carry 1 or 2 marks each in all papers and sections.

l The answer for these questions is a real number

l There will be no choices given for these questions

l Candidates must key in the answer using the virtual keypad (The keyboard of the computer will be disabled).

Marking Schemel There will be negative marking.

l For 1-mark questions, 1/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer.

l For 2-mark questions, 2/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer

l There is no negative marking for Numerical questions

Ü Prepare a Handbook containing the Formulae and their gist during your preparation. These will come handy during the last days before the exam as well as a quick reckoner for answering the numerical questions.

Ü Make handy notes or short notes on all topics that you have covered. These will be useful for the last minute preparations or for a quick refresh session before the exam.

Ü Make your time table. If you are one of those people who can’t live by a schedule, do it in your own pace but keep tab of the syllabus and try to cover all of it.

Ü Do not neglect Mathematics and General Aptitude. They constitute a good amount of marks in the question paper. Contrary to popular perceptions, both these sections are relatively easy to prepare for.
