GATE Syllabus 2020 for Computer Science & IT- Aspirants who are appearing in GATE Computer Science & IT paper should know each about all sections and topics in order to crack the examination with good marks. Both GATE exam pattern and syllabus are the base of preparation and candidate who know when to prepare and what to prepare is the one who win the race. So, grab all details from paper patern to the important topics before starting the preparation.  

GATE 2020 is scheduled to be held on February 03, 04, 10 & 11, 2020 to provide admissions into M.Tech./Ph.D. programmes in IITs , IISc, IISERs and other reputed institutions. The Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE) is a computer-based test with an allotted time of three hours. It consists of a total of 65 questions summing up to a total of 100 marks. As per the GATE syllabus, all the 23 papers have a section for General Aptitude questions, which will constitute 15% of the total marks. It will consist of two sections, Verbal Ability and Numerical Ability. Check the complete GATE Computer Science Syllabus 2020 here-

GATE Syllabus 2020 for Computer Science & IT

The GATE question paper is divided into two parts:

Part I-

There will be 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions will be carting 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA). Questions in GA will be based in A) Verbal Ability and B) Numerical Ability.

Part II-
