GATE: Examination Related Information
-: Pattern of Question Papers and Marking Scheme :-
Duration and Exam Type:
The GATE examination consists of a single paper of 3 hours duration that contains 65 questions carrying
a maximum of 100 marks. The question paper will consist of only objective questions.
Pattern of Question Papers:
The examination for the papers with codes AE, AG, AR, BT, CE, CH, CY, GG, MA, MN, MT, PH, TF, XE
and XL will be conducted ONLINE using computers where the candidates will be required to select the
answer for each question using a mouse. For all other papers (CS, EC, EE, IN, ME & PI), the candidates
will have to mark the correct choice on an Optical Response Sheet (ORS) by darkening the appropriate
bubble against each question.
In all the papers, there will be a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions
carrying total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA). The remaining 85 % of the total marks is
devoted to the syllabus of the paper (as indicated in the syllabus section).
GATE 2013 would contain questions of four different types in various papers:
(i) Multiple choice questions carrying 1 or 2 marks each; Each of the multiple choice objective questions
in all papers and sections will contain four answers, of which one correct answer is to be marked.
(ii) Common data questions (which are also multiple choice questions), where two successive
questions use the same set of input data;
(iii) Linked answer questions (which are also multiple choice questions), where the answer to the
first question in the pair is required to answer its successor;
(iv) Numerical answer questions, where the answer is a number, to be entered by the candidate.
Marking Scheme
For 1mark multiple-choice questions, 1/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer. Likewise, for 2
marks multiple-choice questions, 2/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer. However, for the linked
answer question pair, where each question carries 2 marks, 2/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong
answer to the first question only. There is no negative marking for wrong answer to the second question
of the linked answer question pair. If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is
unattempted, then the answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated. There is no
negative marking for numerical answer type questions.
General Aptitude (GA) Questions
In all papers, GA questions are of multiple choice type, and carry a total of 15 marks. The GA section includes 5
questions carrying 1 mark each (sub-total 5 marks) and 5 questions carrying 2 marks each (sub-total 10 marks).
Question papers other than GG, XE and XL
These papers would contain 25 questions carrying one mark each (sub-total 25 marks) and 30 questions
carrying two marks each (sub-total 60 marks). Out of these, two pairs of questions would be common
data questions, and two pairs of questions would be linked answer questions.
In the ONLINE papers, the question paper will consist of questions of multiple choice type and
numerical answer type. For multiple choice type questions, each question will have four choices for the
answer. For numerical answer type questions, each question will have a number as the answer and
choices will not be given. Candidates will have to enter the answer using a virtual keypad.
