26 Feb How to Prepare for GATE 2020 Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a Priliminary test of various undergraduate subject in Engineering and science. GATE is conducted annually by IISc Bangalore and 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati and Roorkee) on a rotational basis. IIT Delhi is expected to conduct the GATE 2020 exam.
Who are eligible for Applying GATE 2020
- Bachelor’s degree holders in Engineering/ Architecture (4 yrs after 10+2) and final year students of the course.
- Master’s degree holders in Science/Maths/Statistics/Computer applications and final year students of the course.
- Students in the second or upper session of the Four-year assimilated Master’s degree course (Post-B.Sc.) in Engineering/Technology
- Students in the fourth or upper session of Five-year Integrated Master’s degree course or Twin Degree course in Engineering/Technology.
GATE preparation for Electronics and communication ECE
Electronics & Communication Engineering deals with the electronic devices, circuits, communication equipment like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC). It also deals with basic electronics, analog and digital transmission & reception of data, voice and video (Example AM, FM, DTH), microprocessors, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae and wave progression.
For GATE 2020 ,Since the present year syllabus has not been released by the authorities, the candidates can check the table below to refer for the previous year syllabus for ECE. Analyse your paper and identify important topics is very important for preparing GATE.
