Our results update is mostly settled now thanks to all the wonderful contributors.

http://gateoverflow.in/blog/1204/gate-2017-result-updates

Some people are comparing GO keys to ME and other institute keys. I just want to tell that had they been doing their job properly GO would never have started making the keys. The key here is made mainly by the top aspirants and we are lucky to have some experts in specific areas like @Suraj, @Praveen+Saini.

Also many people have been contributing in adding questions and answering, editing etc. Not to forget Pragy without whom there is no rank predictor :)

In 2015, top rank here (among active participants) was 5, in 2016 it was 4 so would this be 3 in 2017? A good chance is there :) And many more are in top 100. I request the toppers to help others in theri queries- the result-update page should answer many of the admission queries- but 90% people needs spoon feeding or assurance from someone to believe anything. And toppers are like God to them :)

Hi,

I have given GATE exam in general category. I actually belong to OBC category. So will it be possible now to avail the facilities of my category during application filling/counseling of IITs ?

I am getting around 60 marks on the basis of gateoverflow/mymarks. So which college/PSU can I expect and how to prepare for interviews of PSU and IITs.

Please help me guys. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to gateoverflow and arjun sir without whose help I think I would not had scored even a single mark.

PS- guys I have written this post just to get some information not to start a debate on what is right or wrong or reservation system should be there or not. Please help me.

okay, i understand the anxiety.But in the process many people are posting gate questions wrong nd leading to a wrong answer and leading towards more confusion..

please hold on.. wait for some days..when the question paper will out,arjun sir or someone else will make all the question(not too many people to avoid duplicate)

then discuss your answer under that banner

this year set 1 paper was designed like Gate IT previous paper with some illogical and lengthy question.

acc to rule you can not give more than 1 min ques in 1 mark and more than 2 min ques in 2 mark.

and in this paper even in database and programming questions are so lengthy first write on that small book and solve it takes so much time .

even set designer is so much irresponsible that he did not know about the syllabus of gate

when they can organize mechanical branch paper in 2 session means about 1.2 lac people at a time

then why not for all cse people they can't organize the paper in 1 session only (total of 1 lac people)

this time iit professor are so irresponsible that even they can not understand the difficulty level of these 2 paper

what is the mentality behind this to give set 2 paper that much easy

this time iit roorkee is so much irresponsible in designing of paper

we have to raise our voice to arrange paper in 1 session only

This is a discussion blog for all the people appeared in set1.In my little knowledge of GATE for 2 years, this time i found that there was hell and heaven differences among two sets

well we can do nothing about it..except suffering..But in set 1 there was 2 question from Code optimization

1 from Matrix vector

1 from Gaussian probability , a total of 4 questions were OUT OF SYLLABUS

So i need a suggestion, should we mail IIT Roorkee to adress AT LEAST the Out of syllabus questions properly

what do you guys say?

Hello friends !! Good morning..I was disappointed by whatever happened on the day of exam..I felt that I should write a post regarding this highlighting the issues which I felt to be worth mentioning here .Here are few of those points :

a) Out of syllabus questions : If I remember well then there are 2 out of syllabus questions from Compiler Design(related to code optimisation and code generation which are removed in the 2016 official GATE syllabus itself..Secondly there was a question on something related to vectors in engg maths which is also not there in the syllabus..So these obviously hamper the confidence of a normal student..

b) Lengthy : Some of the 1 mark questions I felt were like 2 marks questions..I mean they are time taking..(This is my personal opinion)..

c) Complex terminologies : Like the one in "birthday attack" question..

In summary hardly 1-2 questions were there in set 1 which I feel is direct..

But contrary to this , set 2 contained many direct questions and easier questions..

According to my previous experience of 2016 and on sincere analysis I did not find this much difference as it is this year.The 2015 papers were also well framed and the sets of 2015 were also well balanced..

According to me , the "out of syllabus" questions in set 1 should be addressed at least by organising committee..

Can anyone tell the approximate date for official key release?

Hello,I have small confusion.When answer is submitted at the end of exam,there was a column 'Marked for review'.
I answered about 10 question and marked it for review.Eventually exam ended.Will the 'answered and marked for review' question will be counted?
Just confused as there was a separate column for the same.

Good Exam with moderate difficulty, your opinions?

Hello friends !! Good morning !!

First of all I would like to owe my gratitude to Gateoverflow for the knowledge and experience also to some extent that I have been gaining from it..Really many concepts are cleared and also in the solving process of various questions , I have also gained quite a good level of accuracy also..

As all of us know GATE 2017 is at our doorsteps : Just 1 week away it is from us..So this 1 week is very important for all of us from the exam point of view.

At this critical juncture we should not regret that we have not learnt a particular concept..Few will be there ; it remains with everyone including me..So not to worry too much for that..Instead revising what we have learnt properly is what matters..GATE is not about a specific question ; but throughput is what matters..What I mean is identification of question is important in exam and trying as many questions as possible hence..

So stay cool in this last week..So one should revise as much as one can and do not regret on the things which are not able to be covered..And keep your calm in the examination hall..Maintaining energy level in the exam throughout 3 hours is necessary..Read each question carefully and solve on its merit..When solving a particular question entire focus and energy should be dedicated to that question only..No other question should hover in mind..

 

In the end , my heartiest well wishes to all the interested GATE aspirants..Just stay focussed this last week and give ur best..Although myself is also an aspirant like you all..And hence I need best wishes from you all..

Best of luck to you all once again for GATE 2017..Let us give our best as much as possible..And remember the quote :

Even the word   "impossible"   says  " I m possible "..

Thank you all. 

I'm a guy from fiinal year Computer Engineering from a private college.

When I joined Engineering I'm very curious about everything about Computing! 

I entered in college with dreams of innovating something different in this tech-world. From very first day of Engineering some of my collagues talking about their future like GRE,CAT,GMAT,etc and I don't have any clue about that, then in next year I got to know about GATE from my senior friend in Civil Engineeing!

In my college no one is aware or I can say no one even know about GATE. And I heared from one of my friends that,

"Bro! agar tu GATE sirf crack bhi karega na to bhi tera 3-4 ka package to pakka hi hai!"

and I started R&D about GATE from internet sources like Quora and others.

One day I asked my friend who is topper of class, in fact topper of college.(around 9 CGPA till the date) that "Bro! are you appering for GATE?" then he replied "Bhaiyya! GATE bahot faadu exam hoti hai, from our college no one can able to make it large till the date! and that's the day I decied, Agar ye topper nahi kar sakta to mein kar ke dikhaunga! and I accepted the challenge of GATE.

In the end of 2nd year I joined GATEforum. (Which is more or less not worthy as far as CSE branch is concerned) with only motto of just cracking the GATE,Just 25 marks that's it!..

And day by day I was getting clear about subjects,topics and questions and to do this I got tremendous help from entire community family of Gateoverflow, Techtud, Ravindra Sir(Youtube only), Knowledge Gate(Sanchit Sir) and many many more people!

Day by day I procastinated big and big dreams of getting AIR-1,12,25,50,100,1000,blah,blah,blah! but now I didn't worry about my results because this journey of getting close and making one-to-many relationship with asymptotic notations,regular language and transaction management was awesome!

Today, I am getting around 40-50 marks in tests but I'm not worry about it because I know that I didn't give my 100% (not even 70%, because I'm too lazy and movie freak!!) for GATE! And I also know that

"Agar 2017 mein nahi to 2018 mein to fod hi dunga!"

So, in the last  best of luck to everyone-who are mad for GATE and these lines from my collection of poetries dedicated to this "Journey of GATE-2017!"

सफर! 
कैसा अनोखा है यह सफर...

....क्यों लगता है ऐसा कि जब पहोंचूंगा मेरी मंज़िल पर ,
तब वह जगह लगेगी मुझे मेरे माँ की गोदी कि तरह |

बस, चलता हि रहना चाहिए ये सफर इस 'बस' की तरह!

P.S. I know this is very long, but I am just overhelmed with my emmotions right now!

Raah me hai Kaate to magar, Haar manne wale lagte kha hai hum

Manzil Bulayegi ya hum pahunchenge, Itna to rkte hai dum

Mana abhi waqt ka ishara hai Thora waqt aur ruk jao!!!

Shayad ye use pta nhi, kuch logo ke khoon me nhi hota lena peeche kadam!!

Hope you all get some motivation...! lines written by me :)

Yes ! As the title suggests, i am just going to share with you some lines,that made me tremendously motivational ,1 years back...

.in 2016, 20 days before the exam,i was going through a Family Problem and could not even touch books for some days!! then oneday,while browsing Youtube and some Random songs!! i found a song, the lyrics of Which changed my Approach completely.. then and there..So i thought , to share it with you, if anyone having a tough time , about anything.

Nakamio ke bahane hazaro hai,kiska kasoor kare

par zimmadari hamari v banti hai,itna zarror kare

Jo ho raha hai woh akhon ke age hai,Najre kyun pherle hum

Ab naye irado se manzar badalne ka,sar pe surror rahe...

This 4 lines is the best 4 lines of any song,i ever heard!!!

I had a score of 733 and rank 506 in CSE.

You can apply to following courses:

1.Mtech at IIT Kanpur:2016 cutoff for round 2 was about 728 score .After that you need to clear written test, programming test and /or interviews.

2.Mtech Research (CSA) at IISC Bangalore: Cutoff was about 650 rank in 2016.After that there is a written test and interview.

3.MTech Research at IIT Bombay :2016 Cutoff was approx 650 rank. There will be written test, programming test and later interviews, interviews will be technology /project specific eg linux/java depending upon requirements each year.

4.MS at IIT Kanpur :For summers cutoff was 750 gate score whereas for winter admissions it was much lesser (<730 gate score), there will be tests and interviews.

5.MS at IIT Madras :There criteria in 2016 was 70%in B. Tech and decent gate score. People under 1200 rank have fair chances. There will be a written test and interview. for More details regarding ms at IITM can be found here:http://wp.me/p7HCaA-5

 

6.MTech at IIT Roorkee:Recently IITR converted half of their seats to self financed. Fee will be about 1 lakh per sem and you will not be given stipends. Since this is a costly option, I have kept it at last.

In short, you have plenty of opportunities, just make sure you are prepared to grab them since at this rank direct admission at IIT’s is rare.
