GATE 2024 Physics Expected Topic-Wise Weightage (Image credit: Pexels)GATE 2024 Physics Expected Topic-Wise Weightage: Physics is one of the most vital papers of the GATE exam, which needs constant preparation to ace the performance level. In 2024, the GATE exam will be held on February 3, 4, 10, and 11, 2023 across the country. This means the candidates are left with approximately 2.5 months before the GATE exam. Utilize this time properly, so that they can get a good score in the exam.
As per the experts, candidates should refer to the expected topic-wise weightage, so that they can strategize their preparation accordingly. The chapters/ topics with higher weightage should be given extra attention for preparation. Considering the previous years’ paper pattern, the expected topic-wise weightage of the GATE Physics exam has been highlighted here.
