GATE 2010 GENERAL APTITUDE SAMPLE TEST : PART I

What's New in GATE 2010?



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
We all know that GA section has been introduced in GATE examination from this year.I think GA section will be the deciding factor when it comes to ranking and GATE score. It carries 15 marks i.e. 5 X 1 + 5 X 2.

GATE 2010 General Aptitude Question Pattern


This is hot topic as far as GATE 2010 discussion is considered. Wherever you go - forums, edu-blogs there is vibrant discussion of "What will GA section include?".
Some possible combinations are:


  • 5Qs QA + 5Qs DI
  • 5Qs QA + 5Qs DS
  • 5Qs QA + 5Qs (DI + DS)
  • Mixed Bag
QA : Quantitative Analysis, DI : Data Interpretation, DS : Data Sufficiency

From my opinion the most probable case is second. But nobody can assure you about this and we have to prepare for everything that we think possible!

How and What to Prepare


If everything goes as depicted above, it will be fine for most of us. Specially for those who have tons of experience from pre-final year in solving pre-recruitment tests or preparing for CAT, GMAT entrance examinations.

GATE EC PRACTICE TESTS : ANALOG CIRCUITS-PART-IV : LINEAR CIRCUITS AND POWER AMPLIFIERS


Well ! You must be waiting for this! Last test in this series, which is based on linear circuits and power amplifiers. MCQs included in the test are from previous GATE papers (1992 to 2004 - to be specific). Difficulty level is normal. No linked questions or common data questions. Few questions are figure based numerical problems and remaining are theory based questions.

POINTS YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW :

**DIODES : Transition,diffusion capacitance,breakdown mechanisms
**DIODE CIRCUITS : Clippers, clampers, rectifiers (half,full,bridge with filter analysis)
**BJT/FET : biasing circuits, stability, small signal analysis and parameters
**AMPLIFIERS : multistage, effect of feedback with analysis,Miller's theorem, frequency response - cut-off frequencies and their dependency
**OP-AMPS : op-amp configurations, typical circuits, active filters, function generators,555 timers
**OSCILLATORS : Sinusoidal oscillators(Berk Hausen Criteria), LC(Hartley, Colpitts, Clapp),RC(Phase Shift, Wein Bridge),XTAL(Piezo)

GATE EC PRACTICE TEST : ANALOG CIRCUITS : PART III :- BJT/FET


Hola !!!
This is the third test in 'analog circuits' practice tests series. All MCQs are BJT/FET numerical based with figures and elaborate explanation. Main point covered is FET and BJT small signal analysis.Hope you like this one. Now remaining last test in this series will be based on Linear circuits and power amplifiers.As it is not possible to include each and every point in the syllabus,I have taken only important points for tests. In the last post on this topic I will highlight the points which I missed out during this test series.

GATE EC PRACTICE TEST : ANALOG CIRCUITS PART - II

The second in this series. I have tried to include some figure based numerical problems and common data or linked answer type questions. I'll add one more test on this topic containing linear circuits based questions. But still I think BJT and FET part is not covered completely by any of the tests so will add one more test solely belonging to these three terminal devices.

GATE EC PRACTICE TEST : ANALOG CIRCUITS - PART - I


Analog Circuits is the most important topic as far as GATE scoring is considered. It is the core of electronics engineering field . Most of the numerical questions and linked answer questions in GATE EC paper come from this subject and the questions on frequency responses of amplifiers, cut-off frequencies, FET parameters, transistor biasing are most common. I am starting series of tests on this topic. First test consists only simple theoretical concepts and few direct formula based numericals.


Please do comment here if you like/dislike. Your feedback is appreciated and is valuable. I will try my best to post tests on daily basis,so check blog frequently if you haven't subscribed.

GATE EC PRACTICE TEST : COMMUNICATIONS


New practice test added on 'communications' topic in examzone section of iQuizzle. this will surely examine your preparation in communications topic. This is very important and interesting part as far as GATE examination is considered.Figure below, analyzes topic wise weightage in previous GATE papers. You will find how important communications is from GATE point of view.
