Examination Type: GATE Examination consists of a single paper of 3 Hours duration, which contains 65 Questions carrying a maximum of 100 Marks. The
Question paper will consist of only multiple choice objective questions.
Paper
Code
Pattern of Question papers Negative Marks for wrong Answer
CS, EC,
EE, IN,
CE, ME
Q.1 to Q.25: Will carry one mark each (sub-total 25 marks). 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Q.26 to Q.55: Will carry two marks each (sub-total 60 marks) 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Q.48 through Q.51 (2 pairs) will be common data questions. Each question will carry two
marks
2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Question pairs (Q.52, Q.53) and (Q.54, Q.55) will be linked answer questions.
The answer to the second question of the last two pairs will depend on the answer to the
first question of the pair.
If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is un-attempted, then the
answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated. Each question will carry
two marks
There will be negative marks only for wrong
answer to the first question of the linked answer
question pair i.e. for Q.52 and Q.54, 2/3 mark will
be deducted for each wrong answer. There is no
negative marking for Q.53 and Q.55.
Q.56 to Q.60 : From General Aptitude (GA) will carry one mark each (sub-total 5 marks). 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Q.61 to Q.65 : From GA will carry two marks each (sub-total 10 marks) 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
All the papers bearing the codes CS, EC, EE, IN, CE, ME will contain few questions on Engineering Mathematics carrying 15 marks.
