Pattern of Question Papers for GATE
In all the papers, there will be a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions carrying a total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA). In the papers bearing the codes AE, AG, BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, PI, TF and XE, the Engineering Mathematics will carry around 15% of the total marks, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 70% of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.
In the papers bearing the codes AR, CY, EY, GG, MA, PH and XL, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 85% of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.

GATE 2015 would contain questions
of two different types in various papers:
(i) Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQ) carrying 1 or 2 marks each in all 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 mark the correct answer(s).
(ii) Numerical
Answer Questions of 1 or 2 marks each in all papers and sections. For these
questions the answer is a real number, to be entered by the candidate using the
virtual keypad. No choices will be shown for this type of questions.
Design
of Questions
The questions in a paper may be designed to test the following
abilities:
(i) Recall: These are based on facts, principles,
formulae or laws of the discipline of the paper. The candidate is expected to
be able to obtain the answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at
most from a one-line computation.
(ii) Comprehension: These questions will test the candidate’s understanding of the basics of his/her field, by requiring him/her to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas.
(iii) Application: In these questions, the candidate
is expected to apply his/her knowledge either through computation or by logical
reasoning.
(iv) Analysis and Synthesis:
In these questions, the candidate is presented with data, diagrams, images
etc. that require analysis before a question can be answered. A Synthesis question
might require the candidate to compare two or more pieces of information.
Questions in this category could, for example, involve candidates in
recognizing unstated assumptions, or separating useful information from
irrelevant information.
