For streams like electrical and mechanical where we have to solve linear equations of three varibales and need matrix inversion etc this online calculator wont be helpfull at all. Plus it will take far more time the conventional calculators to solve any numerical problems and as gate is all about numericals i think students will feel some unnecessary and inconvenience which will hamper their performance.
In all engineering semesters and exam calculators are allowed so i think gate authorities should allow it as it is an essential tool for engineering student.
Hello gudul,
I can understand what you are thinking but this calculator is applicable to all so whatever you would face everyone face who is going to attend GATE 2016.
General Aptitude section require very less calculations and some questions in Mathematics and Subject section also require less or no calculations.
So I think 3 hours (180 minutes) are enough for 65 questions.
hey i have still one doubt…
ok,virtual calc is good but can they allow pen paper work or also banned for that?
Hello shah,
Yes they will provide papers for rough work.
GATE exam is not a one line solution kind of paper GATE office know it very well.

I have a very fearfull doubt.i have worked on virtual keypad in my laptop and for using each key u have to use mouse, this is very tedious and consumes a lot of time and from the pictures above it seems it will operated by mouse.and if that is the case then we all are screwed since using calculator alone would consume a lot of time.
Hello Arvind,
I can understand what you are thinking but this calculator is applicable to all so whatever you would face everyone face who is going to attend GATE 2016.
Exactly arvind, you have to click n number of times to do a single calculation. plus think about the error. If you miss type one digit to correct it you have to correct it by clicking mouse one digit by digit. So throughout the exam you will be bothered about this calculator only.
Admin, can we do something to prevent this useless and troubling decision?
