Studied at IIIT Hyderabad

My sister gave IIIT Hyderabad PGEE Exam in 208 and claims it to be easier than GATE. The number of questions varies every year but the pattern somewhat remains similar. The exam had two papers.

Paper 1 - Aptitude (Time: 90 minutes)

  • This one comprised 40 questions out of which 20-25 were quantitative questions, 5-10 questions were based on programming and mathematics, and 10 questions were based on comprehension
  • Some of the most common topics covered were Calendar, Clocks, Directions, Blood Relation, Time and Distance, Probability Syllogism, Number and Series, Data sufficiency, and Propositional logic.
  • As a whole the level of difficulty was easy to medium. 

Paper 2 - Technical (Time: 90 minutes)

  • This paper comprised 60 questions out of which 20-25 questions were from previous years Gate/Isro paper. The remaining questions were related to simple subject knowledge. 
  • The level of programming questions and data structure questions was higher than in the Gate exam.
  • Each question had more than one answer and not ticking all the right ones would lose you marks. 
  • Again, the level of difficulty was easy and anyone who had cleared GATE could clear this too. 

It's best to adopt the same strategy you used for GATE preparation and you will surely get good results.

How do I prepare for general studies in IES?

SD
Samrat Dhar Posted On : January 14th, 2021
BTech ECE from NIT Mizoram (2018)

The GS paper in ESE is very important and can be crucial for determining your rank. Here is the list of topics from the syllabus and preparation strategy.

Engineering Mathematics and Numerical Analysis - Made Easy Mathematics book. This contains a lot of solved problems for practice. 

  • Also, practice questions from previous year papers of both ESE and GATE. If you are able to solve GATE level questions then ESE level questions feel quite easy. 
  • This topic is highly scoring and one of the reasons why Electrical students score more. They have this topic in their technical syllabus too. 

Engineering Aptitude - Made Easy Aptitude book to learn some new tricks and shortcuts for faster solving. This is a fairly easy and high scoring topic.

Material Science -

  • A very important topic because of its technical nature. It is also a bit easier to read and memorize because of its technical nature. 
  • According to one of my seniors, the notes given by Sunil Tiwari (Made Easy faculty) Sir is best for this topic and covers all important aspects.
  • Material Science has some topics from Mechanical and Civil Engineering, you can follow the Made Easy books and notes for these topics.

General Principles of Design, Drawing, and Importance of Safety - You can follow any standard textbook from Made Easy/ACE or IES Master or class notes. Visualizing things plays a very important role to achieve success in this topic. You only need theory to learn definitions, technical terms, and formulas.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Basics of Energy & Environment- Saurabh Sir and AP Singh Sir’s (Made Easy Faculty) note is enough to prepare for these two topics.

Basics of Project Management, Standards, and Quality practices in production, construction, maintenance, and services- Any standard textbook from Made Easy/ACE or IES Master or class notes will serve the purpose. Students from the Electronics branch score well on these topics.

Current Affairs - You do not need to focus a lot on current affairs. Be aware of the things happening around you. Instead of reading the entire newspaper install news apps like Inshorts or Jagran Josh

Ethics and values in the Engineering profession – You can follow the Lexicon Ethics Book but this subject is logical and there is no need for any book as such. Just be logical and think for yourself what’s ethical and what’s not.

Lastly, constant revision throughout the year is essential. You should go through the entire syllabus at least once a month. For GS preparation group study can be also helpful.

How did you prepare for signal and systems for the GATE?

RB
Ruchira Banerjee Posted On : January 8th, 2021
Masters in Power and Energy System Engineering at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

While there is no set rule for preparing for the signal and systems module of GATE, there are usually two routes or a combination of both that is advised to students. You can either focus on theoretical books and samples like Julius O Smith to study or you can follow online learning tutorials like Edx open software to get clear concepts.

Preparation Tips:

  • To begin with, students must always have an in-depth understanding of the foundation subjects. This means starting your study module from between will only cause you to have unclear concepts. It is an exceptionally important topic, and hence students must focus on understanding the concept of Impulse Response and Convolution.

  • Learn the impact of shifting and scaling operations on the waveform to understand continuous and discrete-time signals.

  • For problem-solving questions, it is important to focus on Properties of transforms, analysis and synthesis equations, and common transform pairs. If you have the time, try to learn about all the properties since it can be asked as a direct question.

  • The Fourier transform and Laplace transform are two very important concepts that can contribute to higher marks because of its direct approach.

  • Students must also study the final value and initial value theorem with stability verification.

  • The idea of stability and causality in Z Transform and Laplace can be very scoring if system properties need to be identified from the pole-zero plot.

  • Students can also practice drawing two separate types of waveforms keeping sampling frequency and Nyquist frequency in mind. The concepts of Nyquist Rate, Nyquist Frequency, and Band-Pass sampling theorem are all incredibly important.

Study Material:

For practicing and learning materials students can find the following.

  • Main Text Book by Schaum series

  • Signal Systems by Prof SC Dutta Roy or Oppenheim

  • Kreatryx Practice Question booklets

  • GATE questions from previous years

Signals & Systems has the highest weightage of marks and so it can easily become a high-scoring subject if prepared well. Practicing a large number of problems while understanding core concepts is mandatory to get a score in the subject.

Keeping these points in mind will surely help students in getting a good score in signals and systems for GATE.
