1. PGEE 2026 – Exam structure
Based on Session 1 notes by Suparshwa Patil:
General Aptitude
90 minutes · 40 questions · Negative marking 25%
Subject paper
90 minutes · 40+10 questions (40 technical + 10 maths) · Negative marking 25%
Dynamic exam
PGEE has no fixed pattern. Topics listed are likely to appear, but you should revise your entire GATE syllabus for subjects you’ve already covered.
2. Aptitude – practice & intuition
Key tip: First learn tricks and intuition behind each topic. Then practice GATE PYQs + Arun Sharma Level 1 (optional Level 2) + test series up-solving. Some find GATE PYQs + test series sufficient – choose what works for you.
Resources
• GATE PYQs
• Arun Sharma (Quantitative Aptitude)
• RS Agarwal (alternative)
• Test series (upsolving)
Reading Comprehension
Practice from: Gate Overflow, testpreview.com, or any other website. Consistency matters.
Probability & PnC
Cover basics of Probability and Permutations & Combinations (standard level, not too deep). They can appear directly or as sub‑problems.
Efficiency tip: Don’t spend too much time on a single topic. Pick different question types and cover as many topics as possible.
3. Technical subjects – topic‑wise breakdown
For subjects you’ve already covered for GATE, revise everything once. For new subjects, focus on the topics listed below first.
🧮 Discrete Mathematics
- Propositional logic
- Set theory
- Combinatorics
- Graph theory – standard concepts clarity is enough
Basic terminologies + standard formulas + a bit of practice is sufficient.
💡 Digital Logic
- Boolean algebra
- Sequential Circuits
- Number Systems
Easy to score – standard questions expected.
⌨️ C Programming
- Cover everything in GATE syllabus – easy and won’t take much time.
🗃️ Data Structures
- Cover everything in GATE syllabus – easy to score.
⚙️ Algorithms
- Cover everything in GATE syllabus – easy to score.
- Revise GATE PYQs (1‑mark questions).
🗄️ DBMS
- Functional dependencies
- SQL
- Transaction Management (not in syllabus but beneficial – 1‑2 questions asked)
- Indexing (not in syllabus but beneficial)
🌐 Computer Networks
- Network layer & transport layer – important
- Addressing
- Application layer – standard questions
- Data link layer – bonus
🖥️ Operating Systems
- Paging
- Process Synchronisation & Deadlock
- Scheduling algorithms & page replacement
4. Engineering Maths – last 10 marks
Linear Algebra
Syllabus is small. Stick to it and revise GATE 1‑mark PYQs – they are sufficient.
Calculus
Integration, Differentiation, Limits, Continuity & Differentiability, Maxima & Minima, Mean Value Theorem. Basic GATE level is enough.
Free resource
Engineering Mathematics courses (including Linear Algebra and Discrete Maths) are available free on GO Classes – highly recommended.
5. Recommended resources
GATE PYQs
Essential for both Aptitude and Technical subjects. Solve 1‑mark questions thoroughly.
Arun Sharma / RS Agarwal
For Aptitude practice. Level 1 recommended; Level 2 optional.
Test series
Upsolving tests helps identify weak areas and builds speed.
Reading Comprehension
Gate Overflow, testpreview.com, or similar.
6. Extra topics (time‑permitting)
These topics may appear (2‑3 marks). Learn them if you have time; otherwise, many aspirants leave them.
- Convergence and Divergence of Series
- Partial Derivatives
- Ordinary Differential Equations and Applications
- Initial and Boundary Value Problems
Use standard college courses (Stanford, MIT) or YouTube playlists to cover these topics individually – no single source covers all.
Final word from Suparshwa
"Don't worry! Just stay focused and keep working hard for the next two months. You'll definitely see the results of all your effort soon. Remember – The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret."
