NEW DELHI: As the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-Delhi) has released the admit card for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2020 on its official website. The candidates who are busy in preparing for the examinations, can download the admit card for GATE 2020 CS exam which is scheduled to begin from February 1, 2020.

The GATE 2020 examination will be conducted in two shifts - Forenoon Session (from 09:30 am to 12:30 pm) and Afternoon Session (from 02:30 pm to 05:30 pm) - from February 1 to February 9, 2020.

GATE is considered as one of the most important entrance exam for engineering graduates to pursue further studies and also GATE scores are used by many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) for the recruitment. Every year, more than 10 lakh candidates appear for the GATE examination throughout the country.

M.Tech. in Computer Science is one of the most demanding courses at prestigious institutes like IISCs and IITs.

Here in this article we are providing the syllabus and preparation tips for the Computer Science and Information Technology (CS) paper, which will be held in the afternoon session on February 8, 2020.

There is no proper time to prepare for GATE examination then today. So start preparation from today itself. Candidates are advised to start preparation from high scoring and easy topics like Digital Logic, Mathematics and Aptitude. These three subjects cover almost 30% of complete GATE paper. Mastering these topics not only helps you cover the major part of the syllabus but also it will help you in improving your GATE AIR.

After that you can pick up the easy topics like - DBMS, Operating Systems or Computer Networks.

Prepare your own study plan and you must stick to that. You must plan study hours in a day and topics to be covered in a particular day. Candidates are advised to prepare a calendar. You must track your preparation periodically, if it is going in the wrong direction then must have to take some harsh steps. Revise your plan and work on that.

Students are advised to avoid social media during your preparation period as it is being noticed that major chunk of time is wasted on mobile phones. Use your mobile phones for study purpose only.

After covering your entire GATE CS 2020 syllabus, candidate must have some time for solving practice papers. Try to solve previous year paper as many as possible. If required, candidates are advised to study in groups. Form small groups not more than four candidates and study together. In group, it is observed that one can study for long hours. But group study not necessarily suits all.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 22 (UNI) Indian Concrete Institute's chapter at College of Engineering, Trivandrum (CET) in association with Silver Line project of Kerala Rail Development Corporation, is conducting all-India inter-collegiate technical competition called Pantheon 6.0 at CET campus on January 24 and 25.

Pantheon 6.0 is a highly sought after inter-collegiate technical competition exclusively for Civil Engineering students from all over India, helmed by the ICI CET students' chapter in association with ICI Trivandrum Chapter.

The event is conceived to motivate engineering students of the tasks awaiting them for building a better future, overcoming varied social and technological challenges of the time. The event is being conducted this year in association with the Silver Line project of Kerala.

As part of the event, a hackathon named “Unleash the Rails” is also being organised to pitch the ideas that can boost efficiency, improve affordability and accessibility to all sections of the society in Semi High Speed Rail. ‘Unleash the Rail’ will be a hackathon, based on SHSR, named as Silver Line. K-Rail will make a presentation on Silver Line, expecting the participants to pitch ideas that can boost efficiency,improve affordability and accessibility to all sections of the society in Semi High Speed Rail.
