GATE Syllabus 2019 - IIT Madras has provided the complete paper-wise syllabus of GATE 2019 on its official website. A new paper has been introduced from 2019 i.e "Statistics". The syllabus of GATE 2019 is similar to the subjects studied in the qualifying examination. There is no changes in the syllabus of GATE 2019. Hence, if you have started the preparation by following the previous year’s GATE syllabus then you don’t have to prepare any extra topic. The GATE 2019 syllabus provides you the details of important topics and subjects that are required to prepare for the test. Candidates should have the complete GATE syllabus 2019 in order to make a study plan.
GATE 2019 is scheduled to be held in online mode on February 2, 3, 9 and 10, 2019 to get admission in M.Tech courses. GATE scores are also considered to select the eligible candidates for recruitment in various PSUs. Candidates have to select their exam paper and its respective GATE syllabus from the given table. We have provided the direct link of GATE 2019 syllabus of all 24 papers for the convenience of the candidates.
Refer the below table and click the link provided along with the paper for which you have applied and get the complete details of GATE syllabus. All candidates preparing for GATE must have the complete syllabus of their respective paper. Candidates have to divide their time accordingly and
The table also comprise of the syllabus of General Aptitude (common section for all the papers) and Engineering Mathematics (mandatory section for all papers except GG & XL).
