GATE Examination pattern
The GATE is scheduled to last for three hours, comprising a total of 65 questions across two sections: General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics, and the Core Discipline (the subject chosen by the candidate). The first two sections are mandatory. Question formats include Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ), Multiple Select Questions (MSQs), and Numerical Answer Types (NAT), assessing candidates’ abilities in application, analysis, comprehension, recall, and synthesis.
The examination will include both one-mark and two-mark questions. For a 1-mark multiple-choice question, 1/3 mark will be deducted for incorrect responses, while a 2-mark multiple-choice question will result in a deduction of 2/3 mark. There will be no negative marking for Multiple Select Questions (MSQ) and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions.
New Additions: Two-Paper Combinations!
Exciting news from IISc Bengaluru – they’ve introduced new two-paper combinations! If you’ve already applied for GATE 2024 and want to add a new second paper or switch the second paper, the option is available until November 17 at gate2024.iisc.ac.in or goaps.iisc.ac.in. If you registered for only one paper, you can add a new second paper at the regular fee. For those with two papers, changing the second paper won’t cost extra.
Remember, you can exercise the option to add or change the two-paper combination just once. Stay tuned for a smoother GATE 2024 experience!
