GATE syllabus

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination administered and conducted in eight zones across the country by the GATE Committee comprising Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordinating Board - GATE, Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.
It is regarded as a benchmark test for engineering graduates in India and is needed for admission to M.Tech and M.S. programmes in most engineering institutes in India.
The current format of the GATE exam paper pattern is:
Total of 150 marks, fully objective, with three sections
Group I: Question Numbers 1 to 20 (20 questions) will carry one mark each.
Group II: Question numbers 21 to 75 (55 questions) will carry two marks each. Out of this, Q.71 to Q.75 may be common data based questions.
Group III: Question Numbers 76 to 85 (10 questions) will carry two marks each.These questions are called linked answer questions. These 10 questions comprise five pairs of questions (76 & 77, 78 & 79, etc.). The solution to the second question of each pair (e.g. Q.77) will be linked to the correct answer to the first one (e.g. Q.76) in the pair.
Each question will have four choices for the answer. Only one choice is correct.The score card of the Qualified Candidates formerly includes GATE ScoreRank.
I'm posting here the syllabus of GATE of 2007 for various disciplines. It will be updated as the new syllabus is released.
