GATE 2020 Virtual Calculator - How to Use it? One of the features which will be provided to all candidates attempting the entrance examination is the virtual calculator of GATE 2020. Along with the online examination, the GATE 2020 virtual calculator will be made available to help the candidates with their calculations and more. The calculator was incorporated as an important feature of GATE in 2016. Since the candidates will not be allowed to use a physical calculator, they will have to use the virtual calculator of GATE 2020. The question paper will also be set according to GATE 2020 virtual calculator. Read the full article to know in detail the steps to use and main feature of GATE 2020 Virtual Calculator.


Features of GATE 2020 Virtual Calculator

  • The virtual calculator of GATE 2020 will be made available for the candidates who are appearing for the examination.
  • In the GATE 2020 virtual calculator, the candidates will be able to find the keys for simple operations on the right hand side of the calculator.
  • On the left hand side, the keys for all scientific functions and operations are given.
  • The candidates will not be required to press SHIFT or INV keys since the inverse functions have separate keys.
  • Trigonometric functions will be grouped together.
  • The inverse functions will be placed below the respective functions. For example, sininv will be placed below sin on the calculator.
  • Hyperbolic functions will be grouped together.
  • At the top of the GATE 2020 virtual calculator, two display boxes will be provided. The op box will indicate the sequence of the keys pressed. This will be just for reference.
  • The second box below will indicate the actual values entered or obtained after calculations.

Mode of Entrance Exam in India

Earlier, the entrance exams were held on pen and paper but as the technology advanced, the mode of examination changed. Few of the following popular modes in which the exams are held are as follows: Offline Mode  – This is the traditional pen and paper format, in which candidates have to write answer on a paper or OMR sheet. CBT Mode  – Compute based test mode is the most popular mode of entrance exams right now. Here, the candidates have to attempt the exam on a computer and mark answers with the help of a mouse. In some of the exams, candidates even get virtual calculate as well. Online Mode  – Even in online mode the candidates take the exam via computer. However, the only difference is that candidates can take the exam form anywhere and are not restricted to go to a particular center. To take these types of exam, candidates just need to have a computer, good internet connection, and a webcam.

Syllabus ; Engineering Mathematics

Understanding the   syllabus of GATE exam  is essential for its preparation. For instance, unless you have a clear picture of the topics that would be asked in the exam, you won’t be able to prepare for it efficiently. Sections Topics Engineering Mathematics Linear Algebra Calculus Probability and Statistics Differential Equations Vector Analysis Complex Analysis Numerical Methods Networks, Signals and Systems Continuous-time signals Network solution methods Electronic Devices Poisson and continuity equations; P-N junction, Zener diode, BJT, MOS capacitor, Energy bands in intrinsic and extrinsic silicon; Generation and recombination of carriers; Carrier transport current, drift current, mobility and resistivity; MOSFET, LED Analog Circuits BJTs and MOSFETs, Small signal equivalent circuits of diodes; Single-stage BJT and MOSFET amplifiers: biasing, bias stability, mid-frequency small-signal analysis, Simple diode circuits: clip...
