GATE 2025 Books: Electrical Engineering

Hello Mayank,

1. Any one book which will follow complete GATE syllabus is really hard to find. But you may find 70-80% GATE syllabus in one books. Which we have marked as star in our book list.
2. There any many reference guides for GATE which are mentioned on our book list page. For individual subjects you must follow question at the last of standard books and solve them politely.
3. Hours doesn’t matter, target matters. So set target for each hour, each day ….
4.1. Actually EDC contain lots of things in it. EDC means electronics devices & Circuits, So now I hope you understand this much can’t read just by reading a book.
All 4 books are good, necessary and sufficient for GATE EDC subject preparation.
4.2. A is good if you like to read Indian author otherwise B option is best.

Hello ravi,

0) 100
1) Depends upon many factors like number of candidates appear in GATE exam, difficulty level of GATE paper, number of seats in IIT. Atleast 50% marks.
2) We will update soon cut offs for IITs. You please check this blog regularly.
3) Yes cgpa will considered for qualification but just for qualification not for selection.
4) GATE exam is not as much as competitive as IIT JEE but it is one of the most competitive examination among engineering graduates.

Hello Akash,
very good evening.
First of all don’t worry about yours backs it will not affect your selection in any PSU.
But to reduce the effect of this issue you need to be more clear is your concepts bcz after clearing GATE exam you would be short listed for GD/PI there you would be examined as per their requirement and they will not prefer a mere knowledge candidate than good one.
Your final selection would depend upon GD/PI bcz GATE score of almost all candidates called for GD/PI is same bcz they call only toppers of GATE.
As you said you are in 3rd year you still have one year try to get maximum score from this year and obviously also clear your backs within 4 year of engineering.

Hello Swarnaa,
Yes you can clear GATE 2016 with good rank from self study.
You need to keep these things in your mind while preparing self for GATE 2016 :
(1) Many times you would feel you need some guidance during your preparation. So try to contact to your seniors or friends who have cleared GATE already. You may get guidance from Facebook too.
(2) You need to arrange some good coaching institute study material. Remember not a single institute is always good in all subjects but u can arrange a single good study material as per your requirement from choosing from different different coaching institutes study material.

If you are able to arrange these two mainly than no need to join any coaching because coaching is for mainly save your time but many times it waste your time.
If u r serious about GATE preparation n want to utilize your whole time and if u have studied well at your graduation level than no need to join coaching just sit on chair n start preparation. You may join any or many test series for last time preparation. I have seen many GATE topper who just read standard book n make in GATE top 10 list.

Hi Swarnaa,

Yes you can get good jobs in PSU by writing Gate 2016. You can start preparation from now only as you will have enough time to revise and test your preparation with test series.
If you want to go for self study, then you have to be very serious about books or material you are going to choose. You can get book list from many sites but you have to see whether it’s going to suit to your level or not.You can opt for local authors book also if you are facing difficulties in understanding the concepts.Remember Gate is all about “Understanding the basic concepts” .If you are comfortable with such books and you have time then i will recommend to go for standard books like Sedra Smith or Jacob Millman etc.
Now about preparation:
Always start with a plan.What i followed during my preparation was to prepare one tough subject in between two easy. This keeps my momentum going as sometime core electrical subjects takes time for completion and students start to lose momentum or interest as they will be trailing from their study plan. I followed this pattern: Signal Systems ->Machines->Control Systems->Power Systems->Network Theory->Power Electronics->Analog & Digital. If you are preparing for only Gate then you can give less importance to Instrumentation and Field Theory as collectively they come for about 10 marks and by engineering knowledge you can score 3-4. So why to waste good time for 6 marks in these two subjects instead give this time in Power Systems or Machines.Make realistic study plan which can be followed by you so that you do not lose the track in between.This is most important as very good students fails in planning and they have to suffer at last.
Practice makes a man perfect. So follow this rule and solve as many as problem you can solve. If you are done with problems then re-solve previous year questions .At last go for test series. Either Ace Academy or Made Easy.Ace academy has more no of tests in a package but attendance is low comparatively Made Easy has good attendance which can give you more real projection of your standing.
If you have any queries you can let me know.
Hope to see you in Top Rankers’ list 🙂

If introduction matters:
Utkarsh Utsava
487-EE-Gate 2014

of course u can…u just start from the basics of every topic, for which u select the books in which u can get all the basic concepts and theory. As you have less time so choose that topic in which u r more interested and can give ur best within less time. Good Luck…

Sir, i am 2015 passed out
For application of psu do i require pc / cc or OD
