GATE EC Weighatge | Preparation Tips | Concepts

GATE is an all India Level Examination is Conducted and Controlled by 7 IITs and one IISC .
Always Think GATE is Subjective Exam because in the exam there are 25-35 Numerical Answer type question are asked in the exam so while you preparing for GATE try to solve with accuracy.
Remember one thing that  NEVER PREPARE FOR 100 MARKS .just prepare for 60-75 marks is enough to get into IITs or PSUs.
If you get 65-75 marks then your Rank will in below 100 rank easily.

Digital Electronics is easy and Scoring  and interesting subject in Gate Exam.more focus on K-Map and Computational and Sequential Circuits then you get 6-8 Marks easily.

Analog Electronics is little bit tough subjects you may read it at end of all your core subjects are 
completed.this less weighatage in Exam.

Power Electronics  is one of most scoring subject in GATE and in Interview purpose is essential subject.in GATE exam 8-10 Marks are comes from the Power Electronics.

Power System also most weighatage subject. Overly 10-12 Marks asked in GATE exam from Power System.Theory is not important more focus on Problem and practice more and more problem with different concepts

Electrical Machines is tough and more scoring subject  in GATE exam.this subject is more important for interview purpose during PSU or IIT admission.Every year 10-13 Marks are comes Electrical machines subject.Theory is not important more focus on Problem and practice more and more problem with different concepts.First understanding question is main important then after decoding the question.Transformers are most important concept.

Electrical Machines--12
Power system   ---10
Control System---9
Electrical Circuits ---9
Power Electronics---7
Engineering Mathematics& General Aptitude---15
If you Prepare only 5 Subjects from Technical  and EM&GA then you easily getting  62 marks 
If you get 62 Marks then your rank is below 300 Easily .
with those marks then you easily Getting Admission into IITs or PSU.
ALL THE BEST....
