Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is one of the most popular streams in GATE. If you are looking to get admitted into the CSE courses in any of the IITs or other premier institutes, then you need to read the syllabus and prepare in the right way. In the following post, we would be taking a look at the details of the GATE Syllabus of CSE.
GATE Syllabus of CSE – Complete Details
Let us take a look at the detailed GATE Syllabus for Computer Syllabus. The GATE 2019 CSE Syllabus has certain changes compared to last year. Let us check out the GATE Syllabus for CSE.
Section1: Engineering Mathematics
Discrete Mathematics: Propositional and first-order logic. Sets, relations, functions, partial orders and lattices. Groups. Graphs: connectivity, matching, coloring. Combinatorics: counting, recurrence relations, generating functions.
Linear Algebra: Matrices, determinants, the system of linear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, LU decomposition.
Calculus: Limits, continuity, and differentiability. Maxima and minima. Mean value theorem. Integration.
Probability: Random variables. Uniform, normal, exponential, Poisson and binomial distributions. Mean, median, mode and standard deviation. Conditional probability and Bayes theorem.
