When I start to prepare for any exam I first try to know some stats about the exam. This will help me evaluating myself during the preparation and also keep me motivated to do better. The first thing I would like know what the highest marks that one can score in that exam. Once I know that I need to know what were the highest marks obtained in by any candidate in previous years and what are minimum qualifying marks.
At InI we have been tracking these stats about GATE exam for almost 8 yrs. I don’t see anyone has done it before. For more GATE stats please follow GATE stats category from side bar or GATE menu. This is a part of GATE 2016 preparation guide.
