how many months and how many hours/day are needed for GATE preparation for a average student of computer science

this is very much difficult to give suggestion that how much you should study to clear GATE examination. actually it will totally depends on the person. it varies from person to person. some students study a little bit but get good marks but some students are there those study a lot but never get marks according to their effort. so it is completely depend on personal capability.


still for a average students i can say that if you want to just clear the cut off then three month study is sufficient for GATE examination. study 2 to 3 hours everyday attentively for GATE examination for three months i think you will clear the cut off of GATE examination.

but if you want to clear the GATE examination with very good score then you have to give very much effort. at least you have to study for six months attentively. if possible try to join in a coaching institution. hey will provide good study material and also model question papers. these are very much helpful to clear the GATE examination.

this is just a prediction for general candidates. may be you have to study more or less according to your capability. decide how much you should study according to your performance.

best of luck.

gate is an exam that focus more on conceptual knowledge than rote learning. hence the prep. time depends on the student itself. also for computer science students the exam has many theoretical questions associated hence go through all your sem subjects thoroughly. for an avg. student studying for 5-6 hrs. for a period of 5 months will suffice to clear the cut-off.

hi...it does not matter whether you are an average student or an brilliant student to do well in gate examination you have to surely prepare hard and an minimum of 4 to 5 hours of sserious preperation is required all through the year only then you can expect an good rank in the gate examination irrespective of your branch and also a bit of smart work is also required ,you should go through the previous years papers and try to find the really important subjects and the general pattern of the examination ,like the maths questions are compartively very easy and asked from the basics so you should try to be really good with it and also the aptitude questions are quite easy so try to score as many you can in these two parts of the questions .also its better to take some kind of coaching from institutes like the ace academy in hyderabad and the made easy academy in delhi because it will surely help in getting good rank ,
the most impottant think to clear the gate exam is the attentiveness in your engineering classes because if you are attentive in classes then 50% of your preperation is don there itself and also follow the standard books for preperation rather than materials of the coaching academy,the materials should be used only for solving problems

Hi, i worked in infosys for 4 years. i am bored of the IT field and somehow i feel that it is not for me. can i opt for appearing in gate? i have degree in chemical engg.--neha

A general student can crack GATE with the prepration of one month regularly
but this thing is fully depend on you some bright student can get admission through a less effort and some after doing a lot of work cant get selected because they don't do time management and study management.
It is clear to us that what we have to study and when so prepare it with full effort and try to clear the exam.

It does not matter how many hours you have studied or how much you have studied. What really matters is what you have studied. Just keep the following points in mind:

*Focus on quality and not quantity. Practice to solve a variety of questions rather than solving a number of questions of same type.

*Study the complete syllabus of GATE.

*Study on a daily basis. This will maintain continuity.

*Solve last 5 years papers of GATE.

*Make your own short notes.

*Keep revising the topics.

As far as the time is concerned, an average student can clear GATE with high percentile in just 1 month provided he has studied the topics properly at least once during his engineering.

Im b.tech student ..my weekness point iz mujhe english bolne thodi problem hote h kya eska effect m.tech par padega

hi i m an BE student, my weakness is procrastination.. how to overcome it and is 3 months sufficient for gate preparation to get

ya sure, u can go for gate its good option but the things is u have to revise all your engineering subject there u need time as u completed your engineering 4 year back so technical sub will take time

i completed my engineering 2 years back, am from biotech branch and now i wants to go for gate, have only 5 months time and am working in software industry so can anyone suggest me how many hours should i need to get good rank, my office timing is 9 to 6pm

how many hours required for gate preparation required
