GATE 2022 is around the corner. This article is on the topic – GATE syllabus. Here, I’ve provided the syllabus of Computer Science and Information Technology (CS) paper.
GATE 2022 Computer Science and Information Technology (CS) candidates will find this article very useful. Before heading to the meat of the matter – GATE Computer Science and Information Technology syllabus – let me provide you few links to some useful articles. Here they are –
GATE 2022 Computer Science and Information Technology (CS) Syllabus
