GATE applies negative marking to multiple-choice questions only. Multiple-select and numerical-answer questions carry no penalty for a wrong answer.

General instructions

  1. The countdown starts the moment you press Start and runs for 27 minutes on the server, whatever happens in your browser.
  2. Use Save & Next to record an answer and move on. Mark for Review flags a question to come back to; a marked question is still graded if it carries an answer.
  3. Clear Response empties the current question. An unanswered question scores zero and is never penalised.
  4. The question palette on the right shows the state of every question. Choose any question in any order.
  5. Your answers are saved continuously. If the connection drops or the page reloads, reopen this paper and the test resumes where you left it.
  6. The paper is submitted automatically when the time is up. Nothing is locked down: you may switch tabs, though the number of times you leave the test is recorded and shown in the analysis.
  7. A virtual scientific calculator is available from the section bar. Physical calculators, notes and phones are not allowed in the real examination.
