This post will be updated if any changes are announced by the GATE 2011 organizing institute. This GATE syllabus is a part of GATE 2011 Preparation: A complete Guide. I would also recommend you to refer A set of ‘Must Read’ articles for M.Tech aspirants which I wrote over a year answering questions of M.Tech aspirants.
Also you might be interested in Number of Students appeared in GATE 2010 and GATE 2010 Qualifying marks. Another good informative post is about Highest marks in GATE 2010.

hello everybody…guys gate is a very tough nut to crack and it needs much dedication and hard work but in the right direction.for cracking gate u need to study from good reference books and try to grasp each and every concept and do solved as well as unsolved questions.you can buy book of gate previous 10 years question.do as many questions as you can before gate exam.no other preparation is needed for gate.books name for gate exam.it will help u a lot.
networks-hayt kemmerly and durbin-6th edition
signal and system-oppenheim
communication-simon haykin
digital electronics-morris mano.
electronic devices and circuits-millman and u can also read boylested
