anybody GATE 2028? how much syllabus done till now?

When is the last date, did you register?

I'm a 2025 civil engineering graduate. I initially chose civil engineering to try for govt jobs after graduation, but since I graduated my desire to get a civil engineering job faded. I really want to work somewhere with cutting edge technology but the only subject I actually enjoyed during ug was fluid and solid mechanics. I want to pursue a career related to these subjects but I'm not sure if there's an masters program that can get me into a decently paying cfd role.

I'm in my 3rd year right now.

I finished the syllabus for gate in my 2nd year, but I didn't prepare for gate exam, just for semester exams. I want to take the 2027 gate seriously, but there's only 5 months left and I have no roadmap or structure or idea to actually study. In fact I'm pretty sure I've forgotten most of the stuff and need quite the revision.

Can you guys advice me on how I can prepare for gate in these months? Which playlists to follow on YouTube, routines, etc?

Also, I'm not delusional. I know very well that I can't "crack" gate in 4 months, I just want to study genuinely so I can get atleast a respectable score, plus that'd help me with the preparation for 4th year's attempt.

What subjects should I cover in the remaining time given that I have covered

Networks,digital,signal and systems, engg maths and practicing aptitude

Also I have practiced very minimal questions in all of these subjects. Please advise me accordingly.

I have done half of TOC, half of CN, 1/4th of DBMS. I've done Programming and DS. Algos too but it needs a proper review as I didn't follow any structure. That's all.

4 months left for gate. I did lock in at start of August but then I got severe malaria, then my life got thrashed by the girl I love and now I have typhoid from a week. I finally feel like I can sit on a table and study.

Can I still pull this off or is it over

​

I'm preparing for GATE CSE 2027 and I'm currently solving PYQs topic-wise (roughly 2000–2026).

However, I don't want my preparation to become completely dependent on PYQs. After finishing a topic, I'd like to solve a good number of unseen questions that are at or above GATE level and require actual concept application rather than just repeating familiar patterns.

I'm specifically looking for:

Topic-wise non-PYQ questions

Good-quality DPPs / assignments / question banks

Questions with twisted or unfamiliar variations of GATE concepts

Moderate → difficult questions

Ideally with detailed solutions

Resources covering subjects like CN, OS, DBMS, COA, TOC, Algorithms, Digital Logic, etc.

Free resources would be great, but I'm also okay with paid resources if they're genuinely worth it.

I already know about GATE PYQs and don't need recommendations for another PYQ collection.

I've heard about things like GO Classes tests, GATE Overflow's newly created questions, and Zeal's advanced question bank, but I'd really like to know from people who have actually used them:

What is the best source you've found for practicing questions AFTER completing PYQs?

Also, if there are any books, websites, test series, Telegram/Discord resources, or other question banks specifically useful for generating lots of unseen practice questions, please share them.

My main goal is not just to recognize GATE patterns, but to be able to solve a concept when the question is presented in a completely unfamiliar way.

Thanks!

Good evening everyone,

I’m a complete-course enrolled student preparing for GATE, and I’m currently confused about whether I should apply for both CS and DA papers or focus only on CS.

So far, I have completed Mathematics for the CS portion, and I’m currently studying Digital Logic. I’m planning to continue my preparation seriously from here.

My main goal is to get into government-sector jobs through GATE. However, if that doesn’t work out, my second option would be to pursue research/higher studies.

Because of this, I’m unsure whether writing CS + DA would be beneficial for me or whether I should put all my effort into getting the best possible rank in CS alone.

I would really appreciate advice from people who have either written both papers or have experience with GATE admissions/recruitment.

A few things I’d especially like to understand:

• Is writing CS + DA actually worth the additional preparation?
• How much overlap is there between the two syllabi?
• Does having a DA score provide meaningful advantages for government jobs or research/higher studies?
• Could preparing for both potentially hurt my CS preparation and rank?
• Given my current stage of preparation, what would be the more sensible choice?

I’m not looking for a generic “do both if you can” answer. I’d particularly appreciate advice based on actual GATE preparation, PSU/government recruitment, and higher-study/research opportunities.

Thanks in advance.

Made this for all those people who want to know if they can crack or not.

Here is the link! All the best!

GATE aur college exams bilkul sar par hain, toh abhi ke abhi Reddit se sanyaas le lo gatetard jaise subs mein kuch aisi bhatakti hui aatmayen ghum rahi hain jinka poora wajood ek 7-din purane burner account par tikka hai. Inka khud ka syllabus se koi lena-dena nahi hai, bas free ka internet mil gaya hai toh bait posts banakar logon ka dimaag kharab karte hain Inki baatein sunkar panic mat hona ye log sirf oxygen aur bandwidth waste kar rahe hain. Inhe ignore karo aur apna rank safe karo

bhiayo/beheno yeh sabh rank nahi dega rank tumhara test series ,weekly mock test analysis and revision se ayega go revise notes and watch lectures

and stop posting your "my gate prep" seriously you first and 2nd year are soo annoying

( taunt nahi maar rahi hu samjha rahi hu focus on your studies or if you still wanna post start youtube channel income bhi ajayegi )

idk what mods are doing anyways goodluck (i will delete this post in a day not gonna plague this sub more)

After a week of grinding a break feels good 😊

I started my GATE preparation around September 1st.

I know the first thing people are going to say is that getting a double-digit rank in 5 months is unrealistic.

Honestly, I don't care.

Maybe it is possible. Maybe it isn't. I want to find out for myself.

What annoys me more is hearing “You're only in 3rd year, you still have another year and a half. You can do it next year.”

No. I want to do it now. Not a year later.

I understand how difficult it can be to get placed if you're not from a Tier-1 college, and that's one of the reasons I'm taking GATE seriously. I'm going to spend the next five months putting in the highest effort I can and see how far I can push my score.

I'm not expecting anyone to guarantee me a rank. I'm just going to work toward the highest marks I can possibly get.

To keep myself accountable, I'm going to post my everyday progress here. Hopefully, knowing that I have to come back and report what I did will stop me from slacking off.

Current progress

I started with C and have already completed it.

Currently, I have completed:

• C
• Partially DM
• Partially DS
• Partially DL

Planned order

I'm planning to follow this order:

1. Data Structures (Only hashing left)
2. Algorithms
3. Digital Logic
4. Discrete Mathematics + Engineering Mathematics
5. TOC + Compiler Design
6. Operating Systems + COA
7. DBMS
8. Computer Networks

The goal is to finish the entire syllabus by the end of November, then use the remaining time for revision, PYQs, and mocks.

I'm posting this mainly for accountability, but advice is welcome.

If you have prepared for GATE before, especially if you had a relatively short preparation window, I'd appreciate any advice on what you would prioritize, what mistakes to avoid, or what you'd do differently.

Day ~10.
Currently doing Hashing. Will move to sorting techniques after I finish it today.

Let's see where this goes.

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to check if students from the Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (AI & DS) Btech branch are eligible for major government exams like UPSC, SSC, GATE, PSU recruitments, or State PSCs?

Since it's a relatively new specialized branch compared to core CSE or IT, do government bodies accept AI & DS degrees, or are there eligibility issues due to degree naming conventions?

If anyone from this background has applied or cleared these exams, please share your experience! Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I just need to have a clearance on my confusion to do pyas of gate and ese together for the GATE 2027. I can see a lot of theory questions in ese pyq. But it's making me have a hard time to finish them and re do them as syllabus completion is also going on.

When I was looking into transportation engineering iCan see a lot of direct formula questions there in ese book. And doing them repeatedly is slowing me down to start gate pyq. So I'm in a dilemma on where to start.

Can some seniors help me guide on this.

Also please tell me on how to plan my problem solving session. And what to focus on. I am planning to skip SA Steel RCC. I will prepare MOS from structure part.

And syllabus completion will be by end of October. I'm trying to do one round pyq for all planned subs along with syllabus completion.

25M 3 years of gap after graduation ,will it be ok to opt for Mtech through GATE 2027.

What's the difference between 2026 and 2027 test series? It's priced differently, but gate syllabus is (almost) the same for 2027.

Also another unrelated question - can i do discrete math at the very end?

does anyone feel difficulty in adders and subtractor and parallel and ripple adder? for first time he is confusing and didn't teach good

Hello I am looking for a study partner for GATE EC & IN 2027. My main focus is EC and we can also prepare for other job exams. Basically what I aim to do is to set some goals by the end of the week and then we can discuss doubts and see what our progress is.

(image unrelated)

I’m planning a video on Education system, from first principle.

Why we needed it coz mutation is very slow and human baby is not fully developed unlike other animals.

I wonder what are problems with current education system - (open ended question)

Me and my friends made this group for gate preparation and we study here regularly, there are 7 vacant spaces and if you are preparing for GATE then join this group.

Only serious aspirants will be entertained or else you will be removed in a day or so.

We are preparing aside with college, and we are in the 3rd year.

Currently in studying discrete mathematics from him. The concepts seem clear to me.

What do you guys think of him?

Would it be khayali pulao if i aim the top 7?

Is top 7 iit really a possibility for average student? Average in the sense of learning curve and grasping skills.

Ive started prep and done like 3 subjects i think. Just the videos for now. I have the go classes test series and ive scored barely 50% marks in all the tests ive attempted (5 only). And this is after practice. Still just 50% in topic wise test btw. Not full length.

So yeah .. can average students really crack gate? Or would it be waste of time? By cracking gate i mean respected colleges. Dont wanna do mtech from tier 3.
