GATE 2012 CHANGES

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a comprehensive skill test of candidates who are from engineering background and is conducted in joint collaboration with Indian Institute of Science with all seven Indian Institute of Technology. This is one of the most competitive exams for selecting candidates for engineering post graduate courses in all leading engineering colleges in the country conducted on behalf of National Coordination Board for admission to engineering post graduation.

Application Process:

In GATE 2012, candidates need to register and fill the application Online only by accessing the respective zonal GATE website of IISc and seven IITs. The application process will be considered as complete only when a print out of the filled Online application is received by the respective GATE office along with all important and necessary documents, on or before 24th October, 2011. Sale of application forms through banks and GATE office counters has been discontinued.

Downloadable Admit Card:
Now the candidates will not receive Admit card by post, from this year the GATE authorities has discontinue this service. Candidates can download the admit card from the zonal GATE website from 2nd January, 2012.

Use of black ink ball point pen:
The use of pencil to darken the available options in the answer sheets has been scraped from this year. Now all the candidates are suppose to use only black ink ball pen for darkening the answer options in the GATE 2012 answer sheet.

ONLINE examination in two additional papers:
In GATE 2011, the papers with codes GG, TF, AE and MN had ONLINE examination. In GATE 2012, two additional papers, AR and AG, will also have ONLINE examination. The ONLINE examination will be conducted in two sessions on Sunday, January 29, 2012.

Forenoon session (09:00 hrs to 12:00 hrs): AR, GG and TF.
Afternoon session (14:00 hrs to 17:00 hrs): AE, AG and MN.

Numerical answer type questions in ONLINE papers:
In the ONLINE papers (AE, AG, AR, GG, MN and TF), the question paper will consist of questions of multiple choice type and questions of numerical answer type. For multiple choice type questions, each question will have four choices for the answer. For numerical answer type questions, each question will have a number as the answer. The number of numerical answer type questions may vary between 5 and 10 in each question paper.

Pre-final year students:
Pre-final year students are not eligible to write GATE 2012.

IIT JEE PREPARATION REVISITED

Yes buddies if you have missed this years online or offline application forms then now you cannot do it .
Now this year too i am here and will be definitely up to dated on the jee information so from today onwards we are going to discuss only for jee - jee - jee.As my students from the last years forum got so much success in the last years papers so do this year we are gonna rock,so lets get tighten our belts and here from the next post we are going to deal with the latest tips and tricks.
If you have any question then you can definitely ask it as a post.
If not , then keep going onn with physics till you get something to ask(Try to solve irodov's problem,its one of my best books).

PLACEMENT from IIT's

I have seen most of the times that people are ore conscious for the placement that how much did an iitian got from the famous companies visiting the institute rather concentrating on their own future .This is i think just a bullshit to measure any institute in respect of its placement.
But this is definitely gonna inspire some or what to the IIT- JEE aspirant
There is no doubt that IITians get some of the finest placements from this country
This year IIT kharagpur graduate grabbed more than 70 lakhs from the most hyped company(i must not use the term hyped because it worth what it has) FACEBOOK .
But this is not the case that facebook is only hiring from iit's .Facebook has also given more than 25 lakhs to some nit's students .
Apart from these some of the students from iit delhi also grabbed the package of more than 50 lakhs .

IIM INDORE undergraduate

From this year IIM Indore is going to start the course for undergraduates so that the students who are solely having their plan to move to entrepreneurship field should not follow other steps like engineering and commerce before MBA .This step from the iim indore will definitely going to help students in their future .
visit iimidr.ac.in
last date for application 9 september 2011
opening date for form collection - july end
Syllabus - 90+ marks in 10th and 12th

The GPU

Like a motherboard, a graphics card is a printed circuit board that houses a processor and RAM. It also has an input/output system (BIOS) chip, which stores the card's settings and performs diagnostics on the memory, input and output at startup. A graphics card's processor, called a graphics processing unit (GPU), is similar to a computer's CPU. A GPU, however, is designed specifically for performing the complex mathematical and geometric calculations that are necessary for graphics rendering. Some of the fastest GPUs have more transistors than the average CPU. A GPU produces a lot of heat, so it is usually located under a heat sink or a fan.

In addition to its processing power, a GPU uses special programming to help it analyze and use data. ATI and nVidia produce the vast majority of GPUs on the market, and both companies have developed their own enhancements for GPU performance. To improve image quality, the processors use:
Full scene anti aliasing (FSAA), which smoothes the edges of 3-D objects
Anisotropic filtering (AF), which makes images look crisper

Each company has also developed specific techniques to help the GPU apply colors, shading, textures and patterns.

As the GPU creates images, it needs somewhere to hold information and completed pictures. It uses the card's RAM for this purpose, storing data about each pixel, its color and its location on the screen. Part of the RAM can also act as a frame buffer, meaning that it holds completed images until it is time to display them. Typically, video RAM operates at very high speeds and is dual ported, meaning that the system can read from it and write to it at the same time.

How much CPU do you really need? Two cores? Four? Six? In many ways, the answer depends on what you’re doing with your PC. We’ve found that most games run best on machines with at least three cores. We know that many video editing apps use as much processing horsepower as you give them. And many productivity-oriented titles don’t take advantage of parallelism at all.

Really, the key to a healthy machine is balance. Balance prevents bottlenecks. We’re long-time proponents of balance (see Paul Henningsen’s Building A Balanced Gaming PC series). And now, as a purveyor of processors and graphics, AMD stands to profit handsomely from preaching the very same message.


Zoom

But when the marketing slides detailing a company’s upcoming flagship desktop processor demonstrate a trend favoring cheaper PCs, you have to expect a CPU designed for cheaper PCs. I hope this isn’t too much of a spoiler, but enthusiasts who were hoping to see AMD’s Bulldozer architecture decimate Sandy Bridge and do battle with Sandy Bridge-E have to adjust their expectations. Instead, the company is going after a burgeoning chunk of the market looking to spend less on hardware than they did in the past.

That’s cool though, right? Sandy Bridge showed the power user community that they didn’t need a $1000 processor to get blazing-fast performance. An unlocked $200 chip capable of reliably hitting 4.5 GHz smoked Intel’s Gulftown-based Extreme Edition parts in a number of desktop-oriented tests (including the ever-important gaming scenarios). If AMD can offer a better value in that market, you won’t hear me (or anyone else) complain.
Meet The FX Family

At least on paper, the line-up of processors AMD plans to roll out looks both comprehensive and competitive. There are seven models in the FX family, ranging from the FX-8150 down to the FX-4100. They all center on AMD’s Zambezi design, manufactured on Globalfoundries’ 32 nm node and composed of roughly two billion transistors. The 315 mm² die is smaller than Thuban (at 346 mm²), but larger than Deneb (at 258 mm²). Sandy Bridge, in comparison measures 216 mm².Model Base Clock Turbo Core Clock Max. Turbo Core TDP Cores Total L2 Cache Shared L3 Cache Northbridge Freq.
FX-8150 3.6 GHz 3.9 GHz 4.2 GHz 125 W 8 8 MB 8 MB 2.2 GHz
FX-8120 3.1 GHz 3.4 GHz 4.0 GHz 125 / 95 W 8 8 MB 8 MB 2.2 GHz
FX-8100 2.8 GHz 3.1 GHz 3.7 GHz 95 W 8 8 MB 8 MB 2.0 GHz
FX-6100 3.3 GHz 3.6 GHz 3.9 GHz 95 W 6 6 MB 8 MB 2.0 GHz
FX-4170 4.2 GHz - 4.3 GHz 125 W 4 4 MB 8 MB 2.2 GHz
FX-B4150 3.8 GHz 3.9 GHz 4.0 GHz 95 W 4 4 MB 8 MB 2.2 GHz
FX-4100 3.6 GHz 3.7 GHz 3.8 GHz 95 W 4 4 MB 8 MB 2.0 GHz



The portfolio is most easily broken down into eight-core, six-core, and four-core CPUs (corresponding to four, three, and two Bulldozer modules). Model numbers do help you identify the chips somewhat: an FX-8xxx is an eight-core SKU, for instance; FX-4xxx is a four-core product.

The three digits that follow the core designator arbitrarily indicate performance within the stack. They aren’t consistent with clock rate, TDP, or L2 cache. You simply have to remember that, within the FX-8xxx segment, -8150 is better than -8120, which is better than -8100.


Zoom

All of the FX processors are multiplier unlocked up and down the line-up, so there may turn out to be some interesting bargains, depending on how aggressively AMD is speed-binning these CPUs. Remember back to 2008, when Intel launched Nehalem? Enthusiasts jumped all over the 4 GHz-capable Core i7-920 because it was cheap. It remains to be seen whether Globalfoundries’ 32 nm process can achieve the same notoriety.

AMD makes it super-easy to avoid naming confusion at launch by making four CPUs available: the FX-8150, the -8120, the -6100, and the -4100. Model Base Clock Turbo Core Clock Max. Turbo Core TDP Cores Suggested Price (U.S)
FX-8150 3.6 GHz 3.9 GHz 4.2 GHz 125 W 8 $245
FX-8120 3.1 GHz 3.4 GHz 4.0 GHz 125 W 8 $205
FX-6100 3.3 GHz 3.6 GHz 3.9 GHz 95 W 6 $165
FX-4100 3.6 GHz 3.7 GHz 3.8 GHz 95 W 4 $115



That quartet of FXes picks up from where the Phenom II family left off, price-wise. AMD's FX-4100 overlaps the prior generation with a $115 price tag, serving up four cores and clocks between 3.6 and 3.8 GHz (max. Turbo Core). FX-6100, running at a base 3.3 GHz and maxing out at 3.9 GHz, sells for $165. The -8120, armed with eight cores, a 3.1 GHz base, and 4 GHz peak Turbo Core clock, is expected to go for $205. And the flagship -8150, which pushes frequency up to 3.6 GHz base and 4.2 GHz maximum Turbo Core, bears a $245 suggested retail price.

AMD only sent one of the four models for evaluation: the -8150. Our impressions on the other three processors will have to wait, unfortunately (that’s a hint, System Builder Marathon team). We don’t have any additional details as to when the other three FX processors will hit the channel, or how much they’ll cost. But we're finding it hard to care right now. We have the fastest model sitting on our test bench and a list of updated apps with which to test, based on your feedback. So, let's get to it.

Biggest article writing competition in 2012

Some are intelligent and some are made..
Now this years registration is open for the biggest competition in world which is going to start in the next year.
Winners will be chosen and prize money is not yet published.Hope the prize will be good.
The topic for the articles are CUDA enabled GPU's vs REST.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Steve gets up on stage, proclaims the iPhone 4 to be the biggest introduction since the original iPhone, and the public flocks to Apple stores to fork over $200 on day one and around $2500 over the course of two years for the privilege. But this isn't 2007. Apple has real competitors in the smartphone space. Android phones have grown in features, polish and popularity. Even Palm entered the race with a competant offering, and Microsoft isn't far behind. It's easy to start a revolution when everyone else is doing the wrong thing, but what about when more companies actually get it? Was Steve justified in his excitement over the 4? That's what we're here to find out today.

Straight on it looks like just another iPhone. You get the black face with a shiny trim. From the side it is the redesign that Apple has needed for a while now. It’s not revolutionary but it’s the type of improvement that makes its predecessor feel old. And that’s exactly what this does. Have a look for yourself:

How to START PREPARATION FOR IIT JEE 2011-2012

How to start Preparation For IIT JEE

The best time to start preparation is at the beginning of 11th class. Students are fresh after the break after boards and a lot more can be learnt. Students who start late often end up leaving some key topics of 11th class JEE syllabus. Also, if you start your preparation in 12th class then the amount of hard work is increased manifold due to additional pressure of 12th boards, so chances of getting a high rank in JEE are decreased. There is a big transition from the mugging up study of 10th class to more understanding based study of 11th class. So you shouldn't get bogged down by seeing the level of

complexity in JEE exam.

The first two or three months should be spent in revising your basic concepts (topics like algebra, mecanics) which had been taught in 9th class. Concepts in topics like algebra, mechanics and stoichiometry should be studied in great detail as they also form the basis for other topics and are very

scoring. There should be no doubt in your mind about these concepts. For these, develop the habit of

inquisition. Clear all your doubts so that mentally you feel confident tackling any concept. A key in this area is problem-solving. Regular problem solving not only strengthens the concepts, but also increases your mental sharpness which is must for JEE.Initially problems of low level should be tried and only when you have mastered them, you should go on to solving intricate JEE type problems. You should have systematic plan for the preparation of JEE. Regular hours should be allotted to mastering concepts and problem-solving. It is not necessary to memorise the lessons and formulae. Understand the derivations of formulae and apply the formulae to solving problems. Slowly these formulae will settle down in your brain and you will be able to recall them under any situation. What is required is a clear understanding and an easy familiarity with the concepts and laws. Maximum attention should be paid to solving problems.Try to be analytical rather than being intutive. Remember that hardwork pays! You should first take up a problem and try to solve it yourself. You should understand what is given and what is required, recall what principles, laws, equations are involved. Don't hurry to see the solution as I doesn't help you to learn. Only when you've pondered over it over a long time and unable to see any light, should you see the solutions. You would be insulting yourself and seriously hurting your chances of success if you skip these problems or make half-hearted attempts in solving them. An other very important aspect of your JEE preparation will be the coaching institute, whose importance and selection procedure will be delved into in the next section. ]

Temperal Balance

•

Keep your cool during the paper. If you feel you are getting flustered, close your eyes for

some time to regain your composure and concentration.

•

Keep yourself in a cheerful and positive mood.

•

If you feel tension rising during the paper, take deep breaths to release tension.

•

Do not get demotivated or overexcited on seeing the question paper. Keep your balance.

Demotivation will make even easy questions appear tough and overconfidence will make

you commit silly mistakes.

•

Do not get depressed by tough questions. Instead remind yourself that these questions are

tough for every aspirant.

•

Do not get emotionally attached to any question. It is not necessary that you will be able to

solve a question from topics you have prepared well.

•

Do not worry about the minimum cut-off marks for JEE. No one knows about the cut-off

for sure, but no one has ever been rejected on the basis of any subject-wise minimum cutoff.

•

Do not argue with anyone about anything before the test.

•

Have faith in God and in yourself. Whatever happens to you will be for the best.

Keep depressing thoughts away

•

First of all, realize that you are not the only one facing anxiety. Each IIT-JEE aspirant is

facing the same dilemma.

.

Also realize that if you have studied even 60% of JEE syllabus properly, you need not

harbour negative thoughts. Your success at the screening test is ensured.

•

Whenever you feel tensed, start a countdown from 50 to 1. It will help you release tension.

•

Light stretching exercise also helps reduce pent-up tension.

•

If you are feeling tensed, do not suffer alone. The company of friends and light chit-chat

will help you divert your mind from negative thoughts.

Course Planning

Course planning is essential in the sense ,that it can get you at the top in rank list.This planning should be done by the student in 11th class itself . From this year, a screening test is being conducted and so proper planning becomes all the more important.Have a look at all the topics and shortlist topics,and months wherein you plan to complete them.Finishing syllabus atleast a month before the exam is essential.The summer vacations in 12th class are the best time to finish a huge lot of syllabus.I can suggest the following course plan for students in 11th class.

JUNE TO OCTOBER :

Mathematical concepts used in Physics, Basic mechanics, stoichiometry,
general chemistry----atomic structure, chemical bonding, periodic table, algebra---number theory,quadratic equations, progressions.

OCTOBER TO JANUARY :

Complete Mechanics, waves, Physical Chemistry--equilibrium, heat,

kinetics, thermochemistry, electrolysis, algebra -----induction, complex numbers, trignometry.

JANUARY TO MAY :

Heat, fluid mechanics, gravitation, Inorganic chemistry---properties and

metallurgy of metals and non metals, gas laws, analytic geometry, permutations and combinations,

binomial theorem.

MAY TO AUGUST :

Electrostatics and electricity, electrochemistry, solutions, solids, qualitative

analysis, transition metals, differentiation and integration.

AUGUST TO NOVEMBER :

magnetism, optics, modern physics, organic chemistry, differential

equations, probability, vectors.

NOVEMBER TO DECEMBER :

FINAL REVISION

By following this plan,course will be finished in time and revision can also done,to ensure maximum

success in JEE.To maximize your potential you have to planned .My next topic tells you about certain

important topics to which special interest should be given.

Important Topics

Choosing the right topics for maximum study is very important not only for clearing JEE but also for

getting a high rank. Lots of topics in JEE syllabus require a huge lot of time, incomparable to that

required by other topics. Spending too much time on these topics and ignoring other topics leads to

drastic failure in rank.Lots of topics in JEE are very easy and are of NCERT level.The key to topping JEE is to maximize your scoring in these topics which boosts the rank. Many such topics require considerably less time and is much much less than the time required by certain other topics with proportionate marks.You should spend more time on these topics and try to earn full marks in such topics.I list a few of these topics:

MODERN PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS :

Most of the questions easy and similar to past JEE

questions.

WAVE OPTICS :

Most of the questions are similar to past JEE questions

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND GENERAL CHEMISTRY :

Most of the questions are of NCERT level and are simple.

SOLID STATE :

Most of the questions are very easy.

PROBABILITY AND DIFFERENTIATION :
Most of the questions are simple and NCERT level.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS :

Most of the questions are similar to past JEE questions.

By spending legible time on these topics ,the scoring in JEE will be boosted and only will you clear JEE but also get a high rank.But beware , don't neglect there other topics. In topics like mechanics, electricity ,physical chemistry and analytical geometry , if the concepts are clearly understood then many of the questions pertaining to these topics can be easily handled.My next topic discusses the marks and the rank which can be expected with those Examination Strategies For IIT JEE

Things to keep in mind one day before the examination:

•

You need at least 6-8 hours of sleep before the examination to keep yourself fresh while

solving questions.

•

Eat a light meal so that you do not feel drowsy or lethargic during the paper.

•

Revise only those topics that you have studied earlier. Do not start reading any new topics

just before the examination, since this will be a waste of time and you may lose the information you have already grasped.

•

You should reach the test center at least half an hour before the exam and if you haven't seen the center before, then you must go and visit the center on the day before the exam.

Note:

If your examination center is in another cityo

Reach the city positively on the day before the exam.

o

Ensure the place of your stay there is calm, clean and conducive to study.

o

In actuality it does not make any difference whether the center is in your city or in some other city. So get the fear of an unknown city out of your mind.

•

Never go to the center on an empty stomach. Always keep biscuits, fruits etc. handy.

•

Some students complain of nausea or headache close to the test. So keep relevant medicine

handy.

•

If you plan to ride your own vehicle to the center, ensure it is in proper running condition and has enough fuel in its tank.

•

If you do not have a vehicle, ensure a means of traveling that reaches you to the center well in time, and give at least half an hour of time for unforeseen delays like traffic jams and rush hour traffic.

•

Keep a wristwatch, your permission letter, a pen, two pencils (sharpened at both ends), an eraser, a sharpener and other relevant stationary systematically with you.

Some important points to keep in mind during the examination

General Instructions

•

ynchronize your wristwatch with the center clock.

•

Open your permission letter and keep it on your table.

•

Do not use a red pen.

Points regarding presentation

•

Start attempting the question paper only after reading the instructions given on it very

carefully.

•

While attempting questions, go on segregating them by the A, B, C method A :These

questions are from topics that you have prepared well, and you can clearly comprehend the meaning of these questions. You have done questions containing similar concept earlier and you are confident that you will be able to solve these.

B :You know you can solve these questions but they are time-consuming, nevertheless you are confident you will be able to crack them when you come back to them. These questions should be attempted in the second round of question attempting, i.e. when you have solved all questions marked
with a B.

C: You don't know head or tail of these questions and you should not waste time attempting them.

•

Attempting to solve all questions in haste increases the chances of error. It is better to solve slightly fewer questions faultlessly.

•

Never attempt two questions at the same time. Concentrate on one question at a time.

•

Carry out all rough work only in the space given in the paper.

•

If you need a diagram to understand questions in say physics or coordinate geometry etc.,

do make one.

•

Use the value of constants given in the paper in solving a numerical. If the value is not

mentioned, use the one you remember.

•

Give all three subjects equal time. While attempting the answers, do not shade the answer

key immediately. Instead, tick your response with a pencil 4 on the answer key.

•

Keep marking questions with A, B, C in the first round of solving the paper. All questions

should be segregated into one of these three categories. This saves valuable time later.

•

Fill out the answer key 30 minutes before final time. Fill out the responses to questions
attempted after this directly in the answer key.
