GATE CS 2021 Syllabus

GATE CS 2021 Syllabus

Every year, GATE Syllabus remains almost similar to the previous same, merely there is a rare chance that GATE Syllabus gets changed.

Students who would be writing the GATE exam must refer the GATE CS and IT syllabus defined by IIT Bombay to start with GATE Preparation as the questions are formulated as per the official GATE syllabus.

Understanding GATE syllabus prior starting GATE preparation will help the candidates effectively plan the preparation strategy and score better marks. GATE CS and IT exam paper consist of questions from aptitude and the core subjects (CS and IT).
