In all the GATE exam papers, there
will be a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of 65 questions, 10
questions carrying a total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA).
In the papers bearing the codes AE,
AG, BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, PI, TF and XE, the Engineering
Mathematics will carry around 13% of the total marks, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining
percentage of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.
In the papers bearing the codes AR,
CY, EY, GG, MA, PH and XL, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the
total marks and the remaining 85% of the total marks is devoted to the subject
of the paper.
GATE 2014 would contain questions of
two different types in various papers:
(i) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) carrying 1 or 2
marks each in all papers and sections. These questions are objective in nature,
and each will have a choice of four answers, out of which the candidate has to
mark the correct answer(s).
(ii) Numerical Answer Questions of 1 or 2 marks each in all papers and sections. For these
questions the answer is a real number, to be entered by the candidate using the
virtual keypad. No choices will be shown for this type of questions.
Design of Questions
The questions in a paper may be designed to test the following abilities:
(i) Recall: These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of
the discipline of the paper. The candidate is expected to be able to obtain the
answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at most from a one-line
computation.
Example
Q. During machining maximum heat is
produced
(A) in flank face
(B) in rake face
(C) in shear zone
(D) due to friction between chip and tool
(B) in rake face
(C) in shear zone
(D) due to friction between chip and tool
(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.
Example
Q. A DC motor requires a starter in
order to
(A) develop a starting torque
(B) compensate for auxiliary field ampere turns
(C) limit armature current at starting
(D) provide regenerative braking
(A) develop a starting torque
(B) compensate for auxiliary field ampere turns
(C) limit armature current at starting
(D) provide regenerative braking
(iii) Application: In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply
his/her knowledge either through computation or by logical reasoning.
Example
Q. The sequent depth ratio of a
hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel is 16.48. The Froude number at the
beginning of the jump is:
(A) 5.0 (B) 8.0 (C) 10.0 (D) 12.0
Examples of each of this design are
given in the types of questions above.
The questions based on the above
logics may be a mix of single standalone statement/phrase/data type questions,
combination of option codes type questions or match items type questions.
(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. Questions in this category could, for example, involve candidates
in recognizing unstated assumptions, or separating useful information from
irrelevant information.
