GATE Syllabus of Chemical Engineering 2018. GATE stands for Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering is one of the toughest and an all India Examination that basically test the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology. It has been known for testing the engineering basics in a smart way.It need the effort of mastering an entire course of engineering.In Gate 2017, aspirants faced quality competitions with top engineering graduates who preferred to write Gate due to sluggish IT market and 13 PSUs who decided to take the Gate score for entry in to their institutes.Even candidates are allowed to take scientific calculators this time which helped them a lot.The formula used to calculate gate score was being changed and performance of top 0.1% candidates played a key role in deciding the scores.

GATE Logo.Chemical Engineering is Engineering branch that make use of physical science or life science combined with economics and mathematics to processes so as to change raw materials into more useful forms.Within Chemical Engineering, two sub-groups are there-chemical process engineers and chemical product engineers.Chemical Engineers takes chemistry out of the lab and into the world that is they converts processes into practical applications in order to produce products,plan plants so as to increase productivity and reduce the cost and analyse plant operations on performance and plant quality.It provides widest scope among all the branches as it is based on  math,physics,chemistry whereas others are based on only  first two.It provides chemical engineers education on job.Every type of company like research,design,process control,economic analysis,sales and management hire chemical engineers.A person must have strong interest in the above mentioned subjects to excel in this field.

    Nice details, but i would like to share if any one is looking for Gate coaching for Chemical Engineering for 2016 then must connect to Elite Academy.

    • Tushar Kumar says:

      you should give details about your Gate coaching like Fee and teachers and courses being taught , it would help GATE aspirants

  7. Dinesh says:

    One toughest job is to know the syllabus and pattern for the examination especially like GATE, but this article had made that difficult job as simple as possible, So everyone please read this article before starting their preparation for GATE
