ANALYSIS OF PAPER

gtirst oamp a go through a revious aers seciay the aers oamp the year hen organiing institute issame as that oamp T09

T08 as organied y IISc The revious years hen IISc as organiing institute ere year 5005199 and 1990 -hen I soved these aers I ampound out that there are some concets on hich IISc asampocusing more g In each oamp these aers there as uestion onBBC treeetonDRahson +ethod+ore stress on and 2igita+athematics is more incined toards acuus than 2iscrete +athsn the contrary roems on roaiity etorks and omiers ere not much diampampicutE

So we can say that GATE paper is ch preictie$ so ampirst task to do is go through a the aers (I thinkthe organiing institute this time may e +adras and rev years hen madras as organiing institute ere1991 199lt 500E) and ampind out the simiaritiesEstress on themI m not saying to ski a other toicsEut racticay its reay diampampicut (not imossie) to ampocus on a thesuectsEso I ust ant to say iamp u ant to ski some toics dont ski the toics stressed y theorganiing institute so dont underestimate the remaining toics E here coes y irst istaampeIner(estiate
