GATE 2020 Syllabus for Instrumentation Engineering (IN)- IIT Guwahati has officially released the syllabus of GATE 2020. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a computer-based test (online mode) and its duration is three hours. It will consist of 65 questions carrying 100 marks. The question paper will include both multiple choice questions and numerical type questions. The exam will be divided into two papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 will include Engineering Mathematics and General Aptitude, while Paper 2 will include questions related to Instrumentation Engineering. To get a better understanding of the subject and the exam, it is important to know the syllabus.
