GATE-2017 Computer Science (CS/IT) Exam Syllabus

The overall co-ordination and responsibility of conducting GATE 2017 lies with Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee which is designated as the Organizing Institute (OI) for GATE 2017. As we all know, it is very hard to chase exam of GATE. As the time passing away the standard of competitive examination is raising with the time period rapidly. So, candidates also must have to pay more attention towards their preparation. Now, we are rendering the determined latest scheme of examination and syllabus of Computer Science and Information Technology (CS/IT) GATE-2017 conducting by IISc.

Exam Pattern : Exam Pattern for the GATE-2017 Computer Science and Information Technology (CS/IT) Exam is as Follows:-

► GATE 2017 would contain questions of two different types : (i) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and (ii) Numerical Answer Questions.
► In all the papers, there will be a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions carrying a total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA).
► In the paper, the Engineering Mathematics will carry around 15% of the total marks, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 70% percentage of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.
► The questions in a paper may be designed to test the following abilities : Recall, Comprehension, Application and Analysis & Synthesis.
