GATE preparation requires hard work and sheer dedication from the student’s part. GATE aspirants need to be really focused while studying. The GATE exam aims to understand the student’s knowledge in basic subjects. As for the preparation, always follow standard books intended for GATE exam and prepare notes after every chapter. You can also conduct group study with friends to share and improve each other’s knowledge. Follow the pattern of study, test, evaluate and improve.

how to prepare for gate exam and how many hours we have to spent for preparation?

Dear friend,

You have to be really hard working if you want to get good score in GATE.

GATE is an entrance test for admission to various Master's degree courses i.e. M.Tech in engineering and M.Sc in general science subjects in the reputed IITs and NITs.

Obviously there is huge competition. So you must know the basic concepts of the subjects you are applying.

Questions asked in the GATE come from the conceptual fundamentals of the topics covered in the syllabus.

First of all, you need to find out which sections or chapters of a particular subject you can cover up well.

Get very clear idea of those selected topics. After that you have to practice with the previous year papers and the model test papers with keeping the time efficiency.

Alone practice in two months can give you a lot of confidence to answer the exam correctly.

All the best!!

1. Material Collection

•Syllabus
•All the relevant books based on the subject(Divide the books in two groups
(1) Fundamental and basic concepts

(2) Problem oriented

•Some books helpful for pre-requisite knowledge on the subject
•Some good guide books for GATE
•Previous questions papers
2. Keep contact with some expert and GATE experienced persons

3. Study - Syllabus and Previous questions papers

4. Start from the first chapter

•read at least 5 books, it will widen your knowledge(if necessary consult with the books for pre-requisite knowledge or with some expert)
•Note down the probable concepts (definitions, unit, dimension etc.)
•Note down necessary theories, formulae etc.
•Solve problems as maximum as possible(from text books, Guide books etc)
•Think about various tricks in solving problems(if necessary, note it)
•Go for series of self-tests based on this chapter(take other's help to conduct tests)
•Continue the self-tests until getting a very good score
5. Solve more and more problems, discover more and more new tricks

6. Follow the same procedure for the rest chapters

7. Finally, go for self-tests based on whole syllabus (take other's help to conduct these tests)





Preparation Strategy:

•Starting 8 – 12 months before GATE exam: Do more of theory in the first few months and just a few practice questions. Make your notes as you learn and your concepts should really be strong. In months 3 and 4 focus on answering GATE type questions. Mark your areas of weaknesses and strengths. In months 5 and 6 work on your weaknesses. Finally in months 7 onwards, start answering more GATE like papers and hone your skills.
•Starting 4 – 8 months before GATE exam: In the first 2 months, do a combination of theory and practice questions. Focus month 3 on taking tests. The remaining months should be spent on taking tests and refining your strengths and weaknesses.
•Starting 2 – 4 months before GATE exam: Only focus on the theory of important topics and practice as many questions as possible in the first month. The remaining time should be spent on building on these strengths and taking 2-3 new topics every week from the other untouched areas.
•Starting less than 2 months before GATE exam: Your focus has to be on solving GATE type questions accurately. Whenever you are unable to solve the questions, refer to the relevant theory and make notes.

Just 2 months time. Here i am providing some suggestions which will be very helpful for you to prepare for GATE exam.

-As you have very less time, prepare subjects which you feel as easy first and difficult subjects later.

-Make a time table of yourself for the 2 months. Give priority to several subjects.

-Allocate time to each subject depending upon its difficulty.

-Try to eat less in night time and try to start study by 4 AM.

-Make short notes from gate forums and other resources. So that you can know the essential or important questions which are being asked in the exam.

-Don't prepare by using soft copies. Because there is every chance that you may switch to some entertainment activities like music while preparing.

-Get the GATE questions and answers book. Soon after the completion of a particular topic or unit, practice several questions from the questions and answers book. This will let you know the way how questions are being asked.

-Each and every GATE aspirant must have to practice previous papers with compulsion. Because there is every chance to get those questions again.
