G ATE 2016 Application Process was closed on October 8, 2015. GATE 2016 exam

dates are January 30 &31; February 6 & 7, 2016. Electrical Engineering has been

one of the top five popular branches where the number of GATE applicants has

been more. GATE 2015 saw 143588 candidates applying for Electrical Engineering paper.

GATE 2016 EE paper will also be held in multiple sessions if one goes by past trends. A

good number of PSUs have also advertised for EE candidates, who will have qualified

GATE 2016 and therefore it is expected that EE applicants will be more in number like

last year.

Careers360 brings forth concise preparation guidelines for GATE 2016 Electrical

Engineering (EE) candidates in this EBook. Compiled from the interviews with experts,

toppers and alike, these guidelines covering important topics and books are just meant to

aid students in their preparation for GATE 2016. It is imperative for students to check the

complete GATE 2016 Electrical Engineering (EE) Syllabus before starting their prepara-

tion. We strongly advise students to study the whole prescribed syllabus and not just rely

on the topics mentioned in this book.

Success starts with small steps.

So study the concepts, get them right, practice the formulae, solve the problems and do this

every day till the day of the GATE 2016 Exam. Success will be yours.

All the Best!

G ATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is

the All India examination that is used to screen the

applicants from across the country for admissions

to the various Post Graduate courses in Engineering in the

IITs, IISc Bangalore, NITs, some CFTIs and many private

institutes as well as many state universities.

GATE is an entrance test designed to test the comprehen-

sive understanding of the various subjects in Engineering

and Technology of the applicants. Candidates can apply to

the PG courses like M.Tech/M.E/ Integrated courses like

M.Tech-Phd and even M.Des at some IITs on the basis of

their GATE 2015 scores. GATE qualified candidates are

given preference over other candidates in many state con-ducted entrance exams.

Salient Points of GATE 2016:l GATE 2016 will be organized by Indian Institute of

Science, Bangalore supported in the operations at the

zonal level by the seven IITs namely IIT Bombay, IIT

Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, IIT

Guwahati, and IIT Roorkee

Introduction to GATE 2016

l Admission to the IITs and IISC is based on the GATE

scores.

Design of Questions in the GATE 2016 Paper:

(i) Recall: These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline of the

paper..

(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.

(iii) Application: In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge

either through computation or by logical reasoning.

(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.

Multiple Choice Questions Numerical Questions

l These questions carry 1 or 2 marks

each in all papers and sections.

l They are objective in nature with

a choice of four answers, out of

which the candidate has to mark

the correct answer(s).

Ü Prepare at your pace. Make your own timetable if you are one to follow it. Nobody

knows you better than your own self. Work your own schedule.

Ü During your preparation, prepare a Handbook containing the Formulae and their

gist. You can use these during the last days before the exam as a quick reckoner for the

numerical questions.

Ü Make short notes on all topics that you have been studying. These can be used during the

last days for your last minute preparations as well as for a quick refresh session before

the exam.

Ü Concentrate well on Mathematics and General Aptitude. Each constitutes 15 % of the

total marks in the question paper. These questions are known to be easy only if you

prepare for them. The score improves with good marks in this section too.
