In today’s world, driven by algorithms and data, professionals who can harness the power of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are in high demand. Whether it’s building recommendation engines, forecasting markets, automating tasks, or enabling self-driving cars-AI and data science skills are transforming industries at breakneck speed.
As this revolution accelerates, aspiring engineers and tech enthusiasts are increasingly looking to the GATE exam as their Launchpad into premier postgraduate programs and coveted government or PSU jobs. If you’re planning to appear for GATE 2026 in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, your preparation needs to be razor-sharp, concept-driven, and practice-intensive.
This is where GK Publications steps in with a crazy offering- “GATE 2026: Data Science & Artificial Intelligence – Study Guide”, an all-in-one preparation manual that goes beyond ordinary textbooks. With 2600+ MCQs & NTQs, solved papers from GATE 2024 and 2025, and detailed concept coverage, this guide is tailored to help you succeed in one of the most futuristic and competitive GATE papers.
What makes GATE 2026 (Data Science & AI) Unique?
The Data Science & AI paper in GATE was introduced to meet the academic and industrial demand for professionals well-versed in computational and analytical skills. Unlike traditional engineering streams, this paper blends concepts from:
- Computer Science
- Mathematics
- Statistics
- Machine Learning & AI algorithms
A good rank in this paper can open doors to top institutes like IISc, IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and IIT Hyderabad, and also give you an edge in PSU recruitment processes where analytics and AI are fast becoming integral.
But this stream is still relatively new, and there aren’t many reliable preparation resources, which makes a well-structured, focused book even more crucial.
