The question-wise breakup of the CS&IT paper was as follows:
- Engineering Mathematics: 15 marks
- General aptitude (verbal ability & numerical ability): 15 marks
- Core Engineering Subjects: 70 marks
In general, the paper was slightly tougher as compared to GATE 2011. A majority of the questions were from DBMS & Data structure & Algorithm and Computer Network whereas very few questions were seen from Compiler Design. Surprisingly, there were no questions from Software Engineering.
In terms of the difficulty level, questions from TOC & DMGT were toughest and Questions on DBMS and Data structure were the easiest.
GATE 2012 saw the weight-age allotted to Computer Network increase from 6% to 13%, while the weightage allotted to Computer Organization decreased from 16% to 3% as compared to last year. There was little change in the weight-age of subjects like Maths, General Aptitude, Compiler Design & Digital.
Last year the cut-off marks for this branch were: 25.00 for general, 22.5 for OBC & 16.67 for SC/ST candidates. However, this year cut-off is likely to be slightly higher owing to the large number of students appearing for GATE 2012.

Good Luck to all GATE Aspirants
Wish you all the best to all those who are attempting GATE tomorrow.
One change in writing the exam is to use Black ball point pen to bubble the answers in the ORS sheet.
Here is a small list of formulas for trigonometric identities that may help.
Once again Good luck, be confident and do your best.
