COMPLETE STUDY OF 2014 GATE QUESTION PAPERS
Various changes made in GATE-2014 Examination Based on the student test experience are as follows
1. There are 4 sets for each paper in GATE-2014 examination.
2. The questions were changed for session to session.
3. The question level also varies from session to session.
4. Cut-off marks in GATE for general category may vary between 27-30 marks.
5. Numerical Questions played majority role in all question papers.
6. The numerical Question completely based on Formula.
7. Half of the of the Questions are problems only.
8. Students were confused while answering these Numerical Questions
9. Time management became quite difficult for the students due to more Numerical Question.
10. For answering most of the Questions students need in depth knowledge of Basics.
Weight-age of the subjects based on sets are as follows.
Electronics and communication engineering:
In GATE-2014 Examination we noticed that in one of the set equal weight-age for all subjects. Paper was very easy and an every student can score minimum 40 marks Digital, Electronic & devices circuit, Electro-magnetic field theory part can be scored well.
You can score full in Aptitude and Maths.
In second set almost 20 questions on EDC and ANALOG, around 12 questions of 2 marks and remaining 1 mark questions. For Control systems there was 7 to 8 questions in that 4 questions of 2 marks and remaining 1 mark questions. On Network 3 of 2 marks and 1 of 1 mark. On Communication systems 5 to 6 questions it was 2 mark questions. On EMFT 5 to 7 questions in that 4 of 1 mark questions and 2 questions for 2 marks, then MATHS was around 12 to 14 marks.
In third set 1 question on control systems, 3 questions on networks, and 12 questions on communication.
In final set we found almost equal marks distribution for EMFT about 12 marks, Analog 11-14 marks, Controls 9-12 marks,communication 10 marks, Digital and signals and systems 6 marks each , Networks less than 10 marks only, and 15 marks each on Maths Aptitude.
In first set we found more weight-age on Analog , power systems and signals and systems.
And one more set from Machines subject more no of questions asked and then power systems around 15 marks ,measurements around 14 marks, power electronics 3 questions ,from Digital less no of questions around 2-3 Microprocessor 2 questions and Maths & Aptitude around 15 marks each.
The questions of Gate-2014 mechanical are completely based more on fundamental and concepts.
In one set Aptitude 15 marks, maths 8-10 marks,no question from engineering mechanics , strength of material 6 marks, theory of machinery 10 marks , vibrations 4 marks, design 4 marks, fluid mechanics 4 marks, heat transfer 7 marks, thermodynamics 2 marks, production around 6-7 marks inventory and operation research around 10-12 marks.
In another set Aptitude 10 marks, Maths 2-4 marks, Engineering mechanics 3 questions, strength of material 2 questions, theory of machinery 1 question, vibrations 3 questions, design 1 question, fluid mechanics 4 questions, heat transfer 2 questions, thermodynamics 2 questions ,production around 5 questions inventory and operation research around 2-3 questions.
In another set Aptitude 15 marks, Maths 12 marks, Engineering mechanics 2 marks, strength of material 5 marks, theory of machinery 4 marks , vibrations 4 marks, design 4 marks, fluid mechanics 6 marks, heat transfer 5 marks, thermodynamics 8 marks, production around 12 marks inventory and operation research around 8 marks.
In this paper we found more no of questions from Process dynamic and control, heat transfer. Aptitude around 15 marks, And hardly 8-10marks from maths and there were no common data questions.
Computer science & information technology :
In first set Aptitude for 14 marks, maths and discrete maths for 13 marks, digital logic 2-3 marks, computer organization 8-10 marks, c & ds algorithms 8-10 marks, theory of computation 8 marks, compiler design 3 marks, operating systems 6 marks, database management systems around 4-5 marks, computer networks 4 marks, software engineering 1 mark and web technology 2 marks.
In second set Aptitude for 15 marks, maths & discrete maths 12 marks, digital logic 2-3 marks, computer organization 4 marks, c & ds algorithms 10 marks, theory of computation 9 marks, compiler design 4 marks, operating systems 6 marks, database management systems around 6 marks, computer networks 8 marks, software engineering 2 mark and web technology 2 marks.
Another set contains Aptitude 12 marks, maths & discrete maths 15 marks, digital logic 2-3 marks, computer organization 8 marks, c & ds algorithms 12 marks, theory of computation 6 marks, compiler design 4 marks, operating systems 8 marks, database management systems around 7 marks, computer networks 6 marks, software engineering 0 mark and web technology 1 marks.
This exam is conducted in morning session and afternoon session. And different question papers of both the sessions. Bothe the papers are equally difficult.
In this paper we found maths around 10 marks, aptitude 14 marks, strength of materials 6 marks, structural analysis 3 marks concrete structure around 6 marks, steel structure 4 marks, geo technical engineering around 8 marks, fluid mechanics 8 marks, hydrology 2 marks, irrigation 4-5 marks, water resource engineering around 6 marks, environmental engineering around 10 marks, transportation engineering 6 marks and surveying 4 marks.
