What are the best books for Gate Chemistry Preparation?
For physical chemistry take up Atkins and PSP book, go through each working formula strategy and solve the example numericals from Puri Sharma pathania and K L Kapoor. Now if you have time try practising numericals from Atkins exercise(soln book is available)..It make you especially strong.
For Inorganic my focus is Coordination, Organomettalic, Bioinorganic. For that, throughly read huheey, Ajay kumar .
For organic, you must have to cover all questions of Carruthers and Clayden atleast then you can read and solve Nantz and zweifel.
For Organic Spectroscopy follow Pavia and practice the solved question
For question practice, CSIR NET ten years and Gate 30 years in detailed way in a copy.
First try to solve a paper in 3 hrs, and calculate your marks in percent.. When it will become 60 to 70 percent you are ready.
Seperate the doubt question in another copy.
Working formula for physical from previous year question paper in another copy.
While preparing for any competitive exam, make sure you study and plan smartly. GATE in Chemistry is different from other engineering stream GATE exams. The paper is of 100 marks with 85 marks being for Chemistry and 15 marks for general aptitude. MCQ carries negative marking while NAT does not. The questions are of either 1 mark or 2 marks.
You should consider the following things while preparing:
Make a study plan first. Write down the topics from the syllabus and allocate the number of days you will need to give to a particular topic.
After reading a topic, make sure you do practice questions to test your understanding. Direct formulas are not always used in questions. Practicing questions will help you grasp a better knowledge of the subject.
Never forget to attempt previous year question papers. It is extremely important. You should have attempted at least 10-year papers positively one week before the exam. Questions do repeat.
Do not take aptitude section lightly. Those 15 marks can change the game. Practice from a general aptitude book from GATE. That would be enough. Aim to score 100% in the aptitude section.
Give the mock paper available on websites. It will make you familiar with the environment and the inbuilt calculator. You should not face any difficulty in making calculations during the exam.
Attempt all NAT questions. They do not carry negative marks.
In MCQ, try to eliminate answers while attempting. It will help you in reaching the final answer.
Do not study new topics two days before the exam. It will only create confusion.
Prepare a formula sheet. Revise it daily.
Stay calm and composed. Never lose hope. Do not panic during the exam. Never cheat on your time table. Study regularly and you will be good to go.
Best of luck
Answer laterwhat is the expected cutoff for gate chemistry CY 2022?
Hello,
Last year the GATE cut off for Chemistry paper was as follows category wise
- General: 36.2
- OBC- NCL: 32.5
- SC/ST/PWD: 24.1
This year the cut off off is expected to be as follows
- General: 35-37
- OBC- NCL: 31-33
- SC/ST/PWD: 23-25
The cut off may vary depending on total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc.

Thank you.
what will be expected rank with 55.67 mraks in gate chemistry 2021?
Dear Student,
The cut off marks for GATE chemical engineering is 35.7.You have marks which is greater than 35.7 so your cut off is cleared for chemical engineering but the expected rank for chemical engineering is not available yet.
Thanks
can PCB with MSc chemistry is eligible for gate chemistry?
Yes, you are eligible for GATE Chemistry, having Completed your 10+2/B.Sc/M.Sc Chemistry. You may hence apply for PSU Jobs or pursue a PhD from Higher Technical Institutes like Top IITs, IISERs, IISc Bangalore as well as CSIR Laboratories for better career scope and prospects.

i am doing msc chemistry,..suggest me best books ever for gate chemistry and CSIR NET JRF chemistry. and the best way to prepare to be a topper ?? pls i dont need a link only
Hello divya
Since I am from the same field as yours so I did like to have a small discussion over it . Since you want to be a topper you can join any coaching institute as they will provide you better guidance and more importantly better study materials .Or you can just buy some good study materials and read them by yourself to safe the time of spending classes . Take arihant (or another publications ) previous years solved papers .Which will give you a good idea . I personally don't want to recommend books as I think you must follow the syllabus and books usually have a lot more than necessary . But obviously if you can then you can chose books .But since you are in msc I don't think you have enough time now .
plz anyone can tell me what is career opportunity after gate chemistry.
Greetings.
Here you can check the below advantages of clearing Gate-
The GATE advantage
In this context, the following points are worth noting about this examination:
Many public sector undertakings such as BHEL, Indian Oil Corporation, NTPC, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (there are PSUs totalling 217 in number) are using the GATE score for selecting candidates for their organisations. Students who qualify in GATE are entitled to a stipend of Rs 12400/- per month during their M.Tech course. Better remuneration is being offered for students of M.Tech/M.E as compared to those pursuing B.Tech /B.E. A good GATE rank assures a good job. After joining M.Tech. at IITs and IISc, one can look at a salary package ranging from Rs 7 lakh to 30 lakh per annum, depending upon specialisation and performance.
Clearing GATE is also an eligibility clause for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. M.Tech. degree is mandatory for those wishing to apply for research positions in R&D centres. The GATE score is valid for two years and those who qualify this test are eligible for doing Masters degree at NUS, (National University of Singapore), Singapore. A GATE score definitely gives one an edge when it comes to joining reputed companies as well as off-campus recruitments. For those who couldnt pursue their BTech in IIT, it provides another opportunity to study in the prestigious IITs. Above all, it certainly gives you a huge technical edge over others in all your interviews and career planning.
Hope this helps!!!
the syllabus of gate chemistry is need the study of jee mains chemistry.?.can we study jee lavel chemistry for clear gate exam?
Monika, GATE is an entrance exam for admisison to Post Graduate courses in Engineering, Technology and relevant Science courses. While JEE is the entrance examination for admission to Undergraduate courses like B.Tech/B.Arch. So there is a vast difference in the syllabus. You can check the complete syllabus for Chemistry in our article: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/gate-syllabus . But to give you the gist,
Under Physical Chemistry topics like Structure, Equilibrium, Kinetics and Surfaces and Interfaces.
Under Inorganic Chemistry, topics like Main group Elements, Transition elements, Lanthanides and Actinides, Organometallics, Radioactivity, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Solids, Instrumental Methods of Analysis.
Under Organic Chemistry, topics like Sterochemistry, Reaction Mechanisms, Organic Synthesis, Pericyclic Reactions and Photochemistry, Heterocyclic Compounds, Biomolecules and Spectroscopy.
