Candidates can also know about the weightage of different subjects and compare the data with this previous year's question paper to get the complete idea of the maximum questions are asked from which subjects in recent years. 

We have collected questions shared by our candidates who have appeared in GATE 2022 CS exam in the forenoon shift which are as follows - 

1. Data Base Question - NAT 

QUESTION - R  (A B C D E) 

AB → C

BC  → D

C  → E 

Find the number of super keys?

2. Computer Organization & Architecture - memory based 

QUESTION - Which of the following give the maximum throughput for transferring data from hard disk to main memory

(A) - DMA (Correct)

(B) - Interrupt driven I/O

(C) - Programmed I/O

(D) - Palling based I/O

3. Discreet Mathematics - NAT 

QUESTION -10 vertices, what is the max no of edges in the disconnected graph?

4. Algorithms - NAT - 2 Marks

The only operation allowed is only enqueue and Dequeue. The number of enqueue operations in Q1 needed so that get the reverie of 1, 2, 3, 4 in the final state is : 

5.- Discrete Mathematics - Memory based

QUESTION -Consider a Peterson Graph

Which of the following is true?

(A) The Chromatic number is .......

(B) The number of independent let in the graph is three

(C) The graph is isomorphic 

(D) It contains a Hamiltonian path

Candidates can check the number of good attempts for the GATE CSE 2022 exam. This will boost the confidence of GATE CS aspirants until the official GATE response sheet is published by IIT Kharagpur. The good attempts for apirant to excel in exam and come out with flying course should be 44-50 questions. 

The expected cut-off for the GATE CS 2022 Exam this year will be around 28-30 marks because the paper was Moderate to tough this year this cut off may go a bit higher.
