Electrical Engineering
The GATE EE paper tests electrical engineering. Each lesson covers one part of the syllabus: the detailed list of topics, the key concepts and formulas, a worked example, and GATE-style questions whose numerical answers are recomputed by a program. Engineering Mathematics and General Aptitude, common to all papers, have their own tracks.
