Dear Aspirant,
Candidates are now looking for the best preparation methods for the GATE exam. One of the best ways to boost preparation for any entrance test is to scan and research the best available books which can cater to your needs correctly. Here are some of the important aspects of choosing a book for your GATE exam.
First of all, it should be easy for candidates to read and understand the books. If the concepts and chapters are explained in a simplified way, the candidates will be able to understand without much use of the technical terms. This will allow candidates to have a deeper understanding of the issues.
Since the GATE 2020 summary consists of many complex pages, the books should try to keep the interpretation clear and descriptive. The books should have accurate information on the chapters and topics discussed in the GATE syllabus.
Candidates should not use any books with misleading information. Applicants are more likely to retain what they have learned if there are diagrams in help topics and chapters in the textbooks. The best books to use during training are those with a simple language.
Let's see the best books for GATE:

Hi,
Nit surat also take admission to engineering postgraduate programs through gate.
It is difficult to predict the exact score of GATE 2020 for admission to electronics and communication.
However if we look at previous years cutoff of nit surat for communication system the closing was 526 in 2018 and 566 in 2017 for open category.
You can check the previous years cutoff score https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/gate-cutoff-for-svnit-surat
So with previous years cutoff trends you can expect a score around 500 in 2020 as safe score to secure a seat in electronics and communication for a general category candidate.
Hi Rahul.
Sorry, but unfortunately 40 marks in GATE are not enough to get into top NITs, if you are of General or OBC category. But, you have chances of getting into lower to middle tier NITs. Now it also depends on the branch you gave GATE in. The cutoff differs for different branches.
