Analog is one of the most important subject for ECE and also since it is a core subject so it becomes much more important that this subject be covered in detail. But many GATE Aspirants are often confused as to what specifically we need to study from this subject as this subject is very vast in itself. So, to reduce the effort we need to target the topics that are specific to GATE.
