HOW DO START PREPARING FOR THE GATE 2019?

You should start your preparation for GATE in your 3rd year, right now you should focus on your B.tech because that is also very important. I am also providing few general tips which you can follow
Here are few tips on how to crack the examination and score full marks:
  • Preparation time for GATE depends on many factors, such as individual’s aptitude, attitude, fundamentals, concentration level, etc
  • Generally, rigorous preparation for four to six months is considered good, but it may vary from student to student
  • Candidate should refer to the syllabus and analyse the exam pattern using previous years’ papers and start preparing accordingly
  • It is important to know what to study, but it is more important to know what not to study
  • A clear understanding of the underlying concepts is a must since the questions asked in GATE exam will test the level and depth of understanding of concepts.
  • As all subjects don’t have equal marks, few subjects are preferred over others
  • Make a list of topics which needs to be studied based on the number of questions which have appeared from the topic in the previous GATE examinations
  • Identify topics which have fetched more marks and give more importance to them during your preparation
  • Join a good test series, give 5-10 mocks at interval of 5 days each and try to beat your current score. During this phase you will get insight of where you are lacking and where you need to work upon. This will work like an injection of confidence in you. Make a fresh notebook and keep a record of mistakes done in all the test series you have attempted.
  •  In last few days, revise only your short notes + formula notebook + mistake of mocks as many times as possible
  • Follow these steps and believe me, no power in the world can stop you from achieving 70+ marks/Top 100 rank.
