Here, We will see the Web Technology Question Paper from the previous year’s exam and the syllabus of Web Technology for the GATE and PSU Exam.

1. Web Technology

Web Technology is a crucial topic in the GATE Computer Science (CSE) and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) exams, testing candidates’ understanding of modern web development frameworks, protocols, and security mechanisms.
To excel, aspirants must align their preparation with the GATE CSE and PSU syllabus, which emphasize both foundational and advanced concepts.

2. Web Technology Syllabus

The Web Technology Questions asked in the GATE and PSU Exam focused on topics:

  • Core Topics: HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript (DOM, events, AJAX), HTTP protocols, and web servers (Apache, IIS).
  • Server-Side Technologies: Basics of PHP, ASP.NET, and JSP.
  • Security: Cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT), and HTTPS.
  • Advanced Concepts: RESTful APIs, web sockets, cookies, session management, and web caching.

3. PSU Web Technology Syllabus

PSUs like ONGC, BHEL, and IOCL often mirror GATE’s syllabus but may include additional topics:

  • Client-Server Architecture: Load balancing, proxy servers.
  • Web Development Frameworks: Overview of React, Angular, or Node.js.
  • Emerging Trends: Cloud integration (AWS, Azure) and web accessibility standards.

    int result = 0, i = 0;
    if (value < 0) {
      Value = -value;
    }
    While((i < value) AND(result <=
          maxint {
            i = i + 1;
            result = result + 1;
          }
          if (result <= maxint) {
            printf(result);
          } else {
