ovisly ....u can do good throw preparing with the help of books

Gate syllabus is attach here ........

which books i refer for preparation for gate as i m student of electrical engineering

Sir,can u tell me which book is best for gate 2012 for mech. Eng. Only topic wise objective questions.

if you follow just some way for study then easily you can crack GATE(Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering) examination. but if you want to really good score in GATE examination then i think you should take admission in any good coaching institution.


to be prepare for GATE examination first of all collect the syllabus of GATE examination for which paper you are appearing in the examination.

now you should find out for which portion you have good knowledge. that means at the time of your semester study which portion you have completed attentively.


try to cover that portion of the syllabus for which previously you have knowledge.

next give attention to the mathematics portion. there is approximately 25 marks in GATE examination from mathematics. if you can get 15 to 20 marks from this portion then easily you can clear the cut off. math portion is also easy comparable to technical portion. so try to practice mathematics according to the syllabus of GATE.


next give attention to the aptitude part which contains 15marks. this portion is also easy. try to get at least 10 marks from this portion. but some good book for aptitude and practice them.


then give attention to the remaining portion of the technical syllabus. always first try to study the syllabus from text book and after covering whole syllabus from text book practice question from GATE books.



at the time of examination only answer those questions for which you are sure. without being sure don't give answer of any question because there is negative marks.


buy some good books for GATE preparation like GATE by G K Publishers or GATE by Konodia etc.

if you follow these steps then i think you will crack GATE examination easily with good GATE score.


but if you want to more well then try to join in any leading coaching institution like gateforum or brilliant or others. they will suggest you good study material and mock test taken by them is very much helpful for preparation of GATE examination.


best of luck.
