GATE 2012 Electrical Engineering Previous Year Paper

In the first year of a Diploma in Electrical Engineering , the study timing usually depends on the college schedule. But in most colleges, classes are held from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM . Students attend 6 to 7 periods each day, which include theory subjects like Electrical Science, Basic Electronics, Mathematics, Physics , and Engineering Drawing . Along with theory, there are also practical lab sessions and sometimes workshop training , which are very important in the electrical field. Some colleges also have one half-day in the week or a special activity period . Overall, first-year diploma students follow a full-day study routine , so they need to be regular and prepared for both theory and practical work.

With a percentile of 64.38, your approximate rank is around 60,000. While top-tier colleges like VJTI, SPIT, and KJ Somaiya are out of reach, you still have a chance in several mid-tier autonomous colleges in the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai region through later CAP rounds.

Colleges like VESIT (Chembur) and Shah & Anchor (SAKEC) are autonomous and occasionally have vacancies in the Electronics or Electronics & Telecommunication branches during later rounds, though their general cutoff usually stays within the top 15,000. On the other hand, Pillai College of Engineering (Panvel) and SIES GST (Nerul) have slightly more flexible cutoffs and are known to accept students with ranks closer to yours, especially in the Electronics-related branches.

Dear candidate ,
With a JEE Main 2025 rank of 105,316 , you will not get EC/EE in IITs or NITs , but you may get EC or EE in :
- Lower tier NITs like NIT Mizoram , Manipur or Nagaland ( in later rounds ) .
- Some GFTIs or IIITs offering these branches .
- Many reputed private engineering colleges .
I would be advisable to fill JoSAA choices for EC / EE in lower - tier NITs and GFTIs , and participate in all rounds .

hello aspirant,

Electrical Engineering is a core and evergreen branch with wide career scope. It offers opportunities in power systems, automation, electronics, railways, and government sectors. If you enjoy physics, circuits, and problem-solving, it's a solid choice. Placements depend on the college and your skills. Overall, it's a good option if you're genuinely interested.

Considering your priorities, JSPM Tathawade (Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering) is likely the better choice among your four options. Its modern campus, focus on industry-relevant skills, and good infrastructure for computer-related fields align well with your needs. AISSMS COE is also a solid choice, but JSPM seems to have a slight edge in terms of campus and focus on technology.

However you can go through pros and cons of these universities

JSPM Tathawade (Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering):

Pros: Modern campus, good infrastructure, decent placements, and a focus on industry-relevant skills.

Cons: Can be a bit farther from the city center compared to AISSMS.

Coding Focus: Has a dedicated focus on Computer Science and related fields, which often benefits students interested in coding electives.

PVG (Pune Vidyarthi Griha's College of Engineering):

Pros: Good reputation, strong academic support, and decent placements.

Cons: May not have the same level of modern infrastructure as JSPM.

DIT Pimpri (Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Technology):

Pros: Good reputation, decent placements, and a decent campus.

Cons: May not be as strong in coding electives as JSPM or AISSMS.

Hello,

For a Master's in Electrical Engineering in India, female students belonging to the NT (Nomadic Tribe) caste category typically pay lower fees than general or open category students.

You are eligible for reserved M.Tech seats under NT-B, NT-C, or NT-D, depending on your specific sub-category.

Your application fee is usually lower, such as 800 rupees instead of 1,000 rupees, especially in admission processes like those in Maharashtra.

Your annual tuition and other academic fees will generally be much lower than those for open-category students—often in the range of ten thousand to fifteen thousand rupees in total, depending on the institution.

You can also apply for benefits under schemes like the Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS), as well as scholarships such as the Merit-cum-Means (MCM) and income-based financial aid.

Hello,

The fee for a Master's in Electrical Engineering (MS EE) varies widely based on several factors, including the institution (public vs. private), location (US vs. other countries), and whether it's a full-time or part-time program.

The NT category female candidate have to pay the full general category fees for MS in EE, though they are eligible for the merit based scholarship.

As the fees varies from institution to institution, I recommend you to check the official website of a particular college you want to apply for.

Thank you!!

Hello Vinod,

Here is your complete time management strategy and roadmap:

Stage 1: Foundation Phase (June 2025 – Dec 2025)

• Study Time: 2 - 3 hours daily (other than college work)
• Subjects: Network Theory, Signals & Systems, Engineering Mathematics, Electrical Machines
• Weekly Plan: 5 days theory + 2 days review / practice
• Solve topic-wise PYQ from GATE after every chapter.

Stage 2: Strengthening Phase (Jan 2026 – Oct 2026)

• Target: Full syllabus + practice + revise
• Study Time: 3 - 4 hours everyday on weekdays, 6 - 8 hours on saturdays/sundays
• Complete remaining subjects: Power Systems, Control Systems, Analog & Digital Electronics, EMT, Measurements
• Join in a test series and make summary notes and error logs

Stage 3: Revision & Test Phase (Nov 2026 – Jan 2027)

• Target: Maximize test performance and accuracy.
• Study Duration: 6-8 hours every day (focus only on GATE)
• Plan: Take full length tests 2-3 times a week.
• Analyze and revise weak areas.
