GATE (General Aptitude Test in Engineering) Exam covers maximum numerical-based questions. So, candidates should solve these numerical questions to score well in the exam. Here comes the prominent role of calculators. In many competitive examinations, physical calculators have been used for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 On the other hand, it is essential to understand that a virtual calculator is a boon for candidates appearing in GATE exam. If you are GATE 2024 aspirant then, you need to know that authorities do not allow you to carry physical calculators in exam centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GATE virtual calculator comes into use. The sequence and steps vary to solve numerical questions in a virtual calculator as compared to a scientific calculator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Example: If you enter Cos 30 in the scientific calculator then, you have to enter cos 30 and do calculations accordingly. On the other hand, you use a virtual calculator for calculation and then, enter cos 30\u2019s value to start your calculations on it. You require proper practice to become an expert to use a virtual calculator in GATE examination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
