end of the stipulated time (3-hours), computer will automatically close
the screen inhibiting any
further action.
Candidates will be permitted to occupy their allotted seats
40 minutes before the scheduled start of the examination. Candidates can
login and start reading the instructions 20 minutes before the start of
examination. Candidates will NOT be permitted to enter the examination
hall after 09:30 hours in the forenoon session and after 14:30 hours in
the afternoon session. Candidates will NOT be permitted to leave the
examination hall before the end of the examination.
Pattern of Questions
GATE 2019 would contain questions of two different types in all the papers:
(i) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) carrying 1 or 2 marks each
in all the papers and sections. These questions are objective in nature,
and each will have a choice of four answers, out of which the candidate
has to select (mark) the correct answer.
Negative Marking for Wrong Answers: For a wrong
answer chosen in a MCQ, there will be negative marking. For 1-mark MCQ,
1/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer. Likewise, for 2-mark MCQ,
2/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer.
(ii) Numerical Answer Type (NAT) Questions carrying 1 or 2
marks each in all the papers and sections. For these questions, the
answer is a signed real number, which needs to be entered by the
candidate using the virtual numeric keypad on the monitor (keyboard of
the computer will be disabled). No choices will be shown for these type
of questions. The answer can be a number such as 10 or -10 (an integer
only). The answer may be in decimals as well, for example, 10.1 (one
decimal) or 10.01 (two decimals) or -10.001 (three decimals). These
questions will be mentioned with, up to which decimal places, the
candidates need to present the answer. Also, for some NAT type problems
an appropriate range will be considered while evaluating the numerical
answer type questions so that the candidate is not unduly penalized due
to the usual round-off errors. Wherever required and possible, it is
better to give NAT answer up to a maximum of three decimal places.
There is NO negative marking for a wrong answer in NAT questions.
