One Stop GATE Forum: XL SECTION PAPERS

Message

Each 
 Section is of 50 marks. Each section will be fully objective type and 
 the questions are divided into three groups. 

(i) Group 
 I: Question Numbers 1 to 6 (6 questions) will carry one mark each 
 (subtotal 6 marks).

(ii) Group II: 
 Question Numbers 7 to 24 (18 questions) will carry two marks each (subtotal 
 36 marks). Out of this, Q.23 and Q.24 may be common data based questions.

(iii) Group III: 
 Question Numbers 25 to 28 (4 questions) will carry two marks each. These 
 questions are called linked answer questions. These 4 questions comprise 
 two pairs of questions (25, 26 and 27, 28). The solution to the 
 second question of each pair (e.g. Q.26) will be linked to the correct 
 answer to the first one (e.g. Q.25) in the pair (subtotal 8 marks).

All questions 
 have four choices with only one being correct.

Wrong 
 answers carry 25% negative marks. In Q.1 to Q.6 of each section, 0.25 mark will be deducted for each 
 wrong answer and in Q.7 to Q.25 and Q.27, 0.5
mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. If the first question in
the linked pair is wrong, then the second question in the pair will not
be evaluated. However, there is no negative marking for the linked answer questions Q.26 and
Q.28. 

The pattern 
 of multiple-choice questions is the same as described for the main papers
