Gate Smashers Digital Logic: study plan and how long it takes
The Gate Smashers playlist is 60 videos and 6.8 hours long. Here's how long it takes at different paces, a week-by-week schedule built from the real videos, and a planner that turns it into your own daily plan.
60 videos · 6.8 hours · Gate Smashers
Gate Smashers' Digital Logic playlist covers number systems, Boolean algebra and canonical forms, K-maps, multiplexers, encoders and decoders, flip-flops and their excitation tables, shift registers and counters.
The last few entries are YouTube Shorts that recap single topics, handy for quick revision.
Who it's for: GATE and university students studying digital logic as part of a CS syllabus.
How long does it take?
The full playlist is 6.8 hours across 60 videos. Here's roughly how many days that is at different daily watch times and speeds, counting video time only:
| Daily time | At 1x | At 1.5x | At 2x |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 min a day | 14 days | 10 days | 7 days |
| 1 h a day | 7 days | 5 days | 4 days |
| 2 h a day | 4 days | 3 days | 2 days |
Make your own schedule
The playlist link is already filled in. Press Plan, set how much time you have each day and your speed, and you'll get a day-by-day schedule with a finish date and a calendar file. It reads the live playlist, so new videos are included.
Week-by-week schedule
A sample plan at 30 minutes a day and normal speed, using whole videos so none is split across days. That's 3 weeks in total. For a different pace, start date or speed, use the planner above.
