GATE Aerospace (AE) Test/Exam Pattern (Based on last 3 years papers)

GATE Aerospace (AE) Test or Exam Pattern (Based on last 3 years papers)

GATE General Aptitude Questions:

Exam/Test/Paper contains 10(out of 65) questions that test the “General Aptitude” (language and analytic skills)and carry a total of 15 marks (out of 100), apart from the core subject of Aerospace (AE).

GATE Aerospace (AE) Questions:

Exam/Test/Paper contains 55(out of 65) questions that test the “Tech + Maths” (Engineering Mathematics, Flight Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Structures, Space Dynamics and Propulsion)and carry a total of 85 marks (out of 100).

Duration and examination type: The examination is of 3 hours duration, and contains a total of 65 questions worth a maximum of 100 marks. From 2014 onward, the examination for all the papers is carried out in an online Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the candidates are shown the questions in a random sequence on a computer screen. The questions consist of both multiple choice questions (four answer options out of which the correct one has to be chosen) and numerical answer type questions (answer is a real number, to be entered via an on-screen keypad and computer mouse). Candidates are provided with scribble pads for rough work and these have to be returned after the examination. At the end of the 3-hour window, the computer automatically closes the screen from further actions.

Good Score For GATE Aerospace (AE) Considered To Be 55

Steps And Strategy To Prepare For GATE Aerospace (AE) Exam

1. Take a diagnostic test – best diagnostic test is a GATE paper of any of the previous 3 years.
2. Note down what you have scored and what was the actual GATE qualifying score cut-off. Note that qualification does not help you much. What you need is a good score. So note the good score mentioned above and measure the gap between your score and a good score.
3. Note the GATE syllabus and mark your topics that you are good at. First try to master subjects that you are good at.
4. However, some subjects like Space Dynamics, Flight Mechanics and Structures have a high weightage. So you should definitely prepare these.
5. General Aptitude does not require preparation. It requires practice. So just practice solving Aptitude questions every day for 30 minutes.
6. Mathematics may have a very high weightage. But note that to get these 10-12 marks, what you have to study and practice is typically more than a core subject. So if you wish to eliminate some topics in Maths, it is fine. Master topics that you are good at.
7. Take lots of section tests and Mocks. Career Avenues provides an excellent test series for GATE Aerospace (AE). For more details click here.

In case you require focused GATE study material and books, you should take Career Avenues GATE Aerospace (AE) study material which has been made by IIT alumni and is focused towards GATE. For more details click here.

GATE Scoring System

1. Every GATE aspirants comes across this doubt as GATE is conducted for 23 papers and there is talk of marks as well as scores.
2. So why and how exactly the scores are calculated; what is the GATE Scoring System? GATE Scoring System (Normalization Process) is the methodology used to convert the raw marks of the candidates into scores after computing according to the specifications prescribed by the GATE authorities.
3. GATE is conducted in 23 papers out of which 5 papers namely ME, CE, CS, EC and EE are held in multiple sessions (two or three) as the number of applicants for these papers are very high and the exam cannot be held for these in a single session. The rest of the GATE papers have relative lesser number of candidates and therefore don’t require to be held in multiple sessions.
4. GATE Scoring System (Normalization) will be different for the single session and multiple session GATE papers. While the raw marks of the single session GATE papers will be used for computing the GATE scores, the actual marks for multiple sessions will be normalized and these normalized marks will be used to compute the GATE scores.
   For all those papers conducted in single session, only actual GATE marks will be considered to calculate the GATE Score.

So let’s dig-in a bit more and try to de-mystify the GATE Scoring System to understand how the GATE scores are calculated.

For all multi-session papers, the following three parameters calculated to obtain the result of each candidate:

• Actual GATE Marks
• Normalized GATE Marks
• GATE Score

For all single session papers, the following two parameters defined in the result of each candidate:

• Actual GATE Marks
• GATE Score

There are many good Test Series for GATE Aerospace (AE) Exam Preparation. But student should be able to identify the good and the not so good test series before making a purchase.

The key points to note are –

1. Many Test Series are very tough and are not of GATE Aerospace (AE) level. Most Questions of GATE Aerospace (AE) can be solved in maximum of 3-4 minutes. But if a test series gives questions which a student will take many steps to calculate and 8-10 minutes to solve, then test series is not having GATE Aerospace (AE) type of questions.
2. Many institutes who train both for GATE and IES mix questions from both types of tests.
   This is not a good test series as the type and style of questions of both exams are different.
3. Blocking Test Series:
   Some institutes have a practice of blocking your test series if you do not submit your GATE Admit Card details. This is an illegal practice. When you have purchased a product, at no point does any institute have the right to block access on such frivolous grounds.
4. CAREER AVENUES provides an excellent Test Series for the GATE Aerospace (AE) Branch.

Here are the features of Career Avenues GATE Aerospace (AE) Test Series.

1. GATE Aerospace (AE) like platform including virtual calculator.
2. Strong GATE Aerospace (AE) test analysis that help you understand your strong and weak areas.
3. Require very little internet bandwidth.
4. Can be answered on Smart-Phones as well.
5. All numerical questions with detailed explanations.
6. All India Rankings for select mock papers.
7. Questions made by GATE Aerospace (AE) toppers, of the perfect level.

NPTEL Videos And GATE Aerospace (AE) Exam Preparation

1. NPTEL Videos are great videos for learning a subject. They have been made by the best teachers in India, and are very detailed.
   However, in our opinion, they are only partly useful for GATE Aerospace (AE) exam prepararion.
2. The NPTEL Videos were not made from the perspective to coach for GATE Aerospace (AE). They were made to teach/explain a subject. It is similar to subject books written by good authors. They teach the entire subject.
3. But GATE Aerospace (AE) is focused on a few parts of the subject and is more application oriented.
4. So you should ideally use some GATE Aerospace (AE) focused study material or Video Lectures to prepare for GATE Aerospace (AE). In parts of the subject where you may want to go in depth, you may refer to NPTEL Videos.

It Is Very Important That Students Use GATE Aerospace (AE) Focused Video Lectures. That Being So, Our Dedicated IITian Faculties At CAREER AVENUES With Years Of Experience While Facilitating GATE Aerospace (AE) Coaching, Have Prepared Comprehensive Videos Focused On GATE Aerospace (AE) Exam.

The best time to start preparing for GATE Aerospace (AE) is the first time you heard or thought about it while pursuing graduate degree in engineering. Now as per our experience, there are mainly 5 different time-period in which students normally hear or think about GATE Aerospace (AE) Exam. Identify your time-period and start preparing accordingly.

Best GATE Aerospace (AE) Classes In India

• There are a lot of good classes and a lot of not good classes. So it is very important to understand how to figure out the best GATE Aerospace (AE) Class.
• Remember what works for Jack will not work for Jill, as both may have different competency levels and learning abilities.
• Some of the good classes conduct GATE Aerospace (AE) Coaching in large Classrooms. They also spend over a hundred hours on a single subject. These classes are good for students who require both Engineering Coaching and GATE Aerospace (AE) Coaching. The downside of this kind of approach is that, students end up wasting more time in note making and learning concepts and less time in gate level stuffs.
