Sample Questions

GATE Chemistry

In the mass spectrum of 2-pentanone (CH₃COCH₂CH₂CH₃), the McLafferty rearrangement produces a characteristic fragment ion. What is the m/z value of the McLafferty rearrangement peak, and what neutral molecule is lost? (The McLafferty rearrangement requires a carbonyl compound with a gamma hydrogen atom relative to the carbonyl group. It involves a six-membered cyclic transition state with transfer of the gamma hydrogen to the carbonyl oxygen, followed by cleavage of the alpha-beta bond.)

A m/z = 58, loss of ethene (C₂H₄)

B m/z = 43, loss of propane

C m/z = 72, loss of methane

D m/z = 29, loss of formaldehyde

GATE Mathematics

The integral ∫₀^∞ e^(−x²)cos(2x) dx equals

A √π/(2e)

B √π/e²

C π/e

D π/e²

GATE Mathematics

About {{name}} GATE

GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is the premier national-level examination for admission to M.Tech, M.E., and PhD programs at IITs, NITs, IISc, and other premier institutions in India. GATE scores are also used by Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like ONGC, BHEL, NTPC, IOCL, and DRDO for graduate trainee recruitment. Conducted by IITs and IISc on a rotational basis, GATE is considered one of the most challenging and prestigious engineering examinations in India.

Exam Pattern (GATE 2026):
- Total Questions: 65 (approximately)
- Total Marks: 100

- Mode: Computer-Based Test (CBT)

Question Types:
- MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions): 1-mark and 2-mark questions
- MSQ (Multiple Select Questions): No options to select; choose all correct options
- NAT (Numerical Answer Type): Enter numerical value using virtual keypad

Negative Marking:
- 1/3 mark deducted for each wrong 1-mark MCQ
- 2/3 mark deducted for each wrong 2-mark MCQ
- No negative marking for MSQ and NAT questions

Subjects Offered (54 papers):
