GATE in Electronics & Communication Engineering
GATE PRACTICE BOOKLET (Bits & Bytes)
(VOLUME - I)
Dear Students,
Solutions of all previous GATE Questions are already available. Every year about
20% of questions will have repetitive nature. However, rest of the questions are from
untapped areas (never asked areas) and few from Previous Engineering Services & Civil
Services Questions. Keeping this in view, possible questions are prepared in various
subjects (chapter wise) along with their hints/solutions. The student is advised to
practice the questions systematically so that their chances of getting high score in GATE Exam will
increase.
The student is advised to solve the problems without referring to the solutions. The student has to
analyze the given question carefully, identify the concept on which the question is framed, recall the
relevant equations, find out the desired answer, verify the answer with the final key such as (a), (b), (c),
(d), then go through the hints to clarify his answer. This will help to face numerical answer questions
better. The student is advised to have a standard text book ready for reference to strengthen the related
concepts, if necessary. The student is advised not to write the solution steps in the space around the
question. By doing so, he loses an opportunity of effective revision.
As observed in the GATE Exam, number of sets may be possible, being online exams. Hence, don’t skip
any subject. All are equally important.
It is believed that this book is a Valuable aid to the students appearing for competitive exams like IES,
ISRO and Other PSU’s. This book can also be used by fresh Teachers in Engineering in improving their
Concepts.
With best wishes to all those who wish to go through the following pages.
