GATE XH study guide
GATE XH · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
GATE 2025 (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is a national-level examination that primarily tests comprehensive understanding of undergraduate-level subjects in Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Science, Commerce, Arts and Humanities. It is organised by IIT Roorkee for the 2025 edition and conducted by IISc Bengaluru together with seven IITs - Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee - on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB), Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Government of India. The exam is delivered as a computer-based test (CBT) on 1, 2, 15 and 16 February 2025. It suits final-year undergraduates, graduates and working professionals who want admission with possible financial assistance to Master's and direct Doctoral programmes, admission to postgraduate programmes at institutes that use GATE scores without MoE scholarship, or recruitment by Public Sector Undertakings that accept GATE results. The GATE XH study guide has 4 sections and about 1,297 words.
01Engineering
In the Engineering domain of this GATE XH guide, questions test whether you can convert a physical situation into a free-body or control-volume model, apply conservation laws, and check the result for dimensional and limiting-case consistency. The emphasis is on correct setup, not memorised numbers.
339 words, about 2 min02Technology
The Technology domain in this GATE XH guide tests digital logic, data representation, basic algorithm analysis, and layered system reasoning. You need to move confidently between a truth table, a Boolean expression, a circuit, and a complexity statement.
320 words, about 2 min03Architecture
The Architecture domain of this GATE XH guide tests building science and planning reasoning: load paths, structural form, environmental control, and development controls. Questions often combine a simple formula with a practical building decision.
338 words, about 2 min04Science
The Science domain in this GATE XH guide tests quantitative reasoning in physics, chemistry, and general experimental science. The exam rewards clean unit handling, correct limiting assumptions, and the ability to distinguish a measured quantity from a derived one.
