The candidates who appeared for GATE 2012
EE branch were in for a surprise, an unpleasant one though. There were
no 'expected' questions which happen in an exam and the questions were
designed to test not just the conceptual Knowledge of the candidates,
but in-depth understanding of the subject - coupled with extensive
practice. The students who came out of the exam hall felt that paper was
difficult than usual. An unusual thing about the EE GATE Paper this
time, was in topics - Networks, Signals & Systems, Control Systems,
Analog and Digital Electronics and Engineering Mathematics, ECE &
EEE got the same questions. Thus in topics like Signals & Systems
and Analog & Digital Electronics which are traditionally ECE
subjects the questions, were unusually difficult from the perspective of
EE student.
The General Aptitude section of GATE 2012 provided much need
avenues to increase overall GATE Score of the candidate. Most of the
questions were easy or of Moderate Level of difficulty – A candidate who
has put in the required effort in practicing General Aptitude can score
upto (10-12)
marks in this section and this can go a long way in helping him meet the basic qualifying criteria. The candidates who found the level of difficulty of Engineering stream and Engineering Maths questions high would have got the much needed relief they were looking for in their quest to increase the GATE Score. A candidate who can score (42-45) above can easily get a rank 1000’s below.
