The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2020 is organized by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. It is a national level entrance cum eligibility test conducted to assess the eligibility of the candidates and to grant admission for the eligible into various postgraduate programs like M.E/ M.Tech / M.Arch /PhD across IITs, NIITs, and other institutions in the country.

Recently, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has released a short notification related to the syllabus of the examination for Electronics and Communication (ECE) branch. The syllabus for the entrance examination is very similar to the syllabus from 3rd to 6th semester of engineering.

The candidates from Electronics and Communication (ECE) branch that will appear for the GATE 2020 examination are advised to download the completes syllabus that is released online in a PDF format by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. An overview of the GATE 2020 syllabus for ECE branch is mentioned below.
