Abstract

To prepare students for various competitive examinations like GATE, GRE etc it is a challenging task as it requires basic understanding of the courses.

So, in this paper the use of three online tools: Gate Test series, Answer Garden and Polls Everywhere is been described for the course operating system. As Operating System course has higher weight-age in various competitive examinations like GATE. So, we choose this course as a case study to apply online tools. Finally the comparative analysis has been done for MCQ-Test1 marks where these tools were not used and MCQ-Test2 which was conducted after applying these tools
