Subject Wise Weightage For GATE ECE

Here is the subject wise weightage of marks for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) for Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE).
This data is analyzed based on the allotment of marks in previous ten years GATE exam papers.

It is to be noted that it may vary year to year and cannot be taken for granted. This just helps us to prioritize the subjects for preparation

MS by research in IITs: Prospects and Future

MS by research in IITs: prospects and future
MS by research program is usually of 3 years in length. An MS student will complete all credits (Courses) same as M.Tech student sitting in the same class. The difference comes when it comes to work after class. MS students will be assigned a professor or can select a professor of their interest to work in his lab with other research students (PhD and other MS students).
M.Tech student have one year of course work and in second year they work on a project, seminar and dissertation. Where as MS students will have to complete course work in first year, during second year they may be asked to attend some courses regarding your area research or your lab area of research and the length of dissertation would be 2 years around. During this time MS students are expected to carryout research and come up with some research papers. You can see tips for writing good conference papers and research journal papers which will really help you during MS program.
M.Tech is a time bound course and MS is a professor decision course as in US. The professor and a committee with whom you are working will decide whether your work worth giving MS degree, which not very difficult to convince them within three year time if you are sincere with your work.
Regarding placements in IISc and IITs, all the students are eligible (except sponsored and QIP candidates) for participating in campus recruitments. The magic is your course CGPA (same as percentage in undergrad but on scale or 4, 5 or 10) and skills. If some company from your domain is recruiting and not allowing you, you can definitely ask them to open for you. If a student degree is yet to complete, companies give them a due joining date and tentative placement offer. Therefore, be clear that they have equal job opportunities as other master degree students. But as they live in a research environment and have published research work and have contacts with professors working in the same area of research they usually opt to go abroad for PhD or research organizations in their area.
If you think you are patient, kind of don’t care guy and have your plans set and don’t go away with others success or failure, you should try this. You will get an extended stay at heaven (for me stay at IIT is same as staying in heaven, for some it was hell too…)
Make you own decisions and stand for it. Don’t care what people will say or what if you are not successful, you will be happy that you atleast tried what you like. Wish you all a great luck with admission.
Hope this helped you understand the MS course structure and Admssion and kind of nature you should have for this.

How to Prepare for GATE Exam and How to Qualify GATE

This post is for those friends who are preparing for GATE 2014 exam. Here are some tips which are useful for your GATE preparation. Hope you will find our tips a bit useful :).


GATE is now just not meant for M.Tech, its also a medium to get job in PSU. Lot of government sector undertakings are recruiting via GATE score. You can have a look on PSU's Recruiting via GATE score

Many students who are going to write GATE exam just wastes plenty of time on Internet in search of material and solved papers. My only recommendation to you is don't depend much on Internet for getting study material. It's nowhere available. Yes believe be! Many sites will try to lure you to visit them regularly for getting stuff. But finally you will realize that its just a time waste process to depend upon Internet for getting stuff. You can't get awesome stuff on Internet free of cost :). So depend on offline stuff like printed material etc.


Limit your Facebook account usage time so that your quality time can be concentrated on GATE preparation. I am not recommending you to avoid Facebook completely. Do visit Facebook so that you cannot miss higher educational and job related updates from your friends as well as pages.

If you are having broadband and really interested in core subjects and having some problems in understanding the concept then you may consider visiting NPTEL so that you can get awesome lectures from IIT faculty members free of cost. This is the only reliable site I came across which can be helpful for GATE preparation.

Start your preparation with those subjects in which you are really interested. I mean cover your core subjects first. Because you already know these subjects well. Mathematics may be common for many papers. If you are not sound in Mathematics or if you are not related to it then don't try to learn it from scratch. You are wasting too much of your time on it, also it may have vast syllabus. Instead of it concentrate on subjects in which you have grip. What I want to say is instead of learning every subject in hurry, just learn thoroughly your core subjects. If still you have time then you can go for other subjects.

Have a look on the previous year GATE Question papers By this way you will have some idea on which type of questions can be asked in the exam so that more focus can be applied on those topics. This will also give you an idea about how twisted the GATE questions are :)

Lot of books are there in the market which gives previous paper solutions. Be careful regarding these guides. Many times they have a lot of errors in answers. So only see the question and have some reference books to clarify the solution which is correct. Or you may try to discuss the questions with your friends or faculty member so that a better resolution can be achieved. Don't trust these guides blindly.


General Aptitude is recently introduced and many people just use to ignore it. Believe me this is the best section where you can get maximum score. Concentrate on it by having some Online Mock Tests already given by GATE 2013 website. This is helpful for you for getting a clear view on which type of questions you can expect in General Aptitude.


Many students use to attend crash course to crack GATE. I am not saying that coaching is must. If possible gather material from Best coaching institutes so that your preparation will become a little bit easy. Because material will have the content in an organized manner. I recommend you to have ACE Engineering Academy material. Of course this is not compulsory. (Don't think that I am marketing a particular coaching institute. It's a fact. Majority of students prefer this material).


And at last but not least while attending the exam if you have any doubt whether the answer for a particular question is right or wrong then please don't attempt to answer it all. Yes, answer only those questions in which you feel confident that the answer is correct 100%. Negative marking will effect your total score if you try to answer the question with doubt. Once again I am saying if you are not sure just leave it.

If you find our tips helpful, then consider sharing so that they can be useful for your friends too . :)
