YOUR PREPARATION PRIORITIES

Give each session a purpose.

PUT YOUR LEARNING IN CONTEXTSee how the system fits together.AI-generated illustration
01

Make the circuit model explicit

Choose reference directions and identify steady-state or transient conditions. Use the model to decide which law applies before substituting values.

02

Connect machines to energy flow

Track the electrical and mechanical quantities together. Use equivalent circuits and power balance to check an answer.

03

Reason about the whole system

For power and control questions, identify the operating point, constraints and response you are asked to predict. Keep assumptions visible in your working.

YOUR PRACTICE ROUTINE

Turn the next step into a habit.

  1. 01

    Establish your starting point

    Begin with circuit analysis and machine or power-system fundamentals. Mark your chosen reference directions so you can distinguish conceptual errors from sign errors.

  2. 02

    Practise the difficult distinction

    Use equivalent circuits and energy flow to connect the electrical quantities. In control problems, link a mathematical response to the system behaviour it represents.

  3. 03

    Review before repeating

    Review timed practice using dimensional and physical checks. Record the assumption that changes the result so you can recognise it in a new question.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Start with a clear purpose.

Build a preparation routine for GATE EE. Use focused practice, explanations and the AI tutor to understand what needs your attention next.

Taken from the 658-item GATE EE bank on Myndaq. Work them here; sign in (Google or email link, no card) to check each answer and have the AI tutor explain why the other options are wrong.

  1. Question 1 · easy · Force Equation · Coenergy · Energy Conversion

    The mechanical force developed in a singly-excited electromechanical system, with current i held constant, is given by:

    • f = -∂Wc/∂x at constant λ
    • f = ∂Wf/∂x at constant i
    • f = -∂Wf/∂x at constant λ
    • f = ∂Wc/∂x at constant i
    Check your answer with the AI tutor →
  2. Question 2 · easy · Coulombs Law

    Two point charges of +2 microC and +8 microC are placed 1 m apart in free space. The magnitude of the force between them is approximately:

    • 14.4 N
    • 1.44 N
    • 0.144 N
    • 0.072 N
    Check your answer with the AI tutor →
  3. Question 3 · easy · Doubly Excited Systems · Torque Components

    In a doubly-excited rotating system, the torque component arising from the variation of mutual inductance between stator and rotor windings is called:

    • Mutual (excitation/alignment) torque
    • Cogging torque
    • Hysteresis torque
    • Reluctance torque
    Check your answer with the AI tutor →
  4. Question 4 · easy · Gradient

    The gradient of the scalar field f(x,y,z) = x²y + yz² at the point (1, 2, 1) is:

    • 4i + 2j + 4k
    • 4i + 3j + 4k
    • 4i + 3j + 2k
    • 2i + 3j + 2k
    Check your answer with the AI tutor →
  5. Question 5 · easy · Frequency Response · Bjt Small Signal Model

    In the high-frequency hybrid-pi model of a BJT, the Miller effect causes the input capacitance to be approximately:

    • C_pi + C_mu
    • C_pi + (1 + |Av|)*C_mu
    • C_pi * C_mu / (C_pi + C_mu)
    • C_mu / (1 + |Av|)

THE FACTS BEHIND THE TEST

Official details, clearly explained.

GATE Electrical Engineering (paper code EE) is the national engineering entrance test for M.Tech admission and PSU recruitment in India, open to anyone in the third year or later of an undergraduate degree or holding a government-approved degree. It is the paper for electrical engineering and the route to power-sector PSUs. IIT Madras organises GATE 2027.

GATE EE: common questions

What is the GATE EE exam pattern?

A three-hour computer-based test of 65 questions for 100 marks: General Aptitude carries 15 marks and the Electrical Engineering subject component 85 marks, in a mix of multiple-choice, multiple-select and numerical-answer questions worth one or two marks each. The pattern is common to every GATE paper; only the syllabus differs.

Is there negative marking in GATE EE?

Only on multiple-choice questions: one-third of a mark is deducted for a wrong 1-mark MCQ and two-thirds for a wrong 2-mark MCQ. Multiple-select and numerical-answer questions carry no penalty, so never leave those blank. A GATE score remains valid for three years.

What is the GATE EE syllabus for 2027?

The official GATE 2027 EE syllabus PDF from IIT Madras lists 10 sections: Engineering Mathematics, Electric Circuits, Electromagnetic Fields, Signals and Systems, Electrical Machines, Power Systems, Control Systems, Electrical and Electronic Measurements, Analog and Digital Electronics, Power Electronics, plus General Aptitude. The 2027 notice says test-paper syllabi have been revised, so work from the official 2027 PDF rather than an older copy and use its topic list as your coverage checklist.

Who is eligible and how many attempts are allowed?

Anyone in the third year or later of any undergraduate degree, or who has completed a government-approved degree, may apply. There is no age limit and no cap on the number of attempts. A GATE score stays valid for three years, which matters for M.Tech admission and PSU recruitment timelines.

When is GATE 2027 for EE?

Registration is closed. IIT Madras has revised the application calendar, including a scrutiny-defect rectification deadline of 31 October 2026. Check the official important-dates page and your GOAPS account for the process that applies to you; do not confuse scrutiny defects with paid candidate-request data corrections.
