sir,i am doing my btech mechanical 3rd year,i want to start preparation for gate exam from now onwards ,i would like to know the topic wise marks weightage and pattern of the exam.so please send me the required details.thanking u sir urs murali.

In GATE examination question comes from three part.
1. Technical(From your Branch of engineering)-almost 60marks
2. Mathematics(Generally from first year and second year mathematics syllabus)= almost 25 marks
3. Aptitude(English and other aptitude)-15 marks

If you want to start preparation for GATE examination from now onwards in your 3rd year of engineering then you should start your preparation from mathematics part. Generally mathematics part is little bit easy then technical part and also it carries good weight-age. Generally cut off marks for GATE examination in mechanical engineering stands near about 25 marks out of hundred as per previous few year so from mathematics and aptitude easily you can secure cut off marks.

Revise all the mathematics syllabus what you have already done in first year and second year as per the GATE examination syllabus. Try to be very much well prepared and be confident that you will solve all the mathematics question of 25 marks. When you are confident about mathematics then start preparation for Aptitude part. As you have to appear in different job campusing in fourth year so you must be prepared for aptitude. So you have to be prepare for aptitude not only for GATE examination but also for your job after 4th year.

At last you must be prepared for technical subject. Technical part carries the most weightage. So you must take care about this. In technical subject first revise the subject which you like most from your branch of engineering. After that go for other subject which you may not like that much. Up to third year of your engineering whatever subject you have studied relates to your branch you must be well prepared on that to secure good score in GATE examination.

Generally in GATE examination question come from very basic knowledge on engineering. But as the syllabus is very broad so it becomes difficult to answer of a simple question what you have studied in second year and your are in the examination in your third year or 4th year of engineering. So when you are studying your engineering clear your basic knowledge in the subject. Remember the basic part of the subject and remember in a way that you will never forget that. If you are interested for GATE examination after taking admission in engineering then from the first day of engineering college you should start your preparation.

GATE examination score card is valid for two years. So if you fail to do good score in third year then again appear in GATE examination in 4th year of engineering with more good preparation. Surely you will secure very good score in GATE.

With GATE score you may take admission in M.Tech in a good institution or yu may go for job. Now a days many PSUs are giving criterion that candidates must have GATE score to join in their organization. Even private companies also prefer candidates if you have good GATE score in your resume.

Best wishes for GATE examination.

HI FRIEND,

TIPS FOR the preparation for GATE exam

[SIZE=5][SIZE=5]Always follow [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=5][SIZE=5]standard books for GATE[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=5][SIZE=5]. Try to cover complete syllabus. If not possible expertise in what ever portion of syllabus you practice.

Try preparing notes after reading every chapter/topic. This may initially take some time but will help you while revising before paper.

While reading any chapter/topic do ask your self following questions "What", "How", and "Why" and see improvement
Best way to prepare is to follow cycle Learn, Test, Analyze, Improve, Learn, Test, Analyze, Improve ……

Do remember that GATE is completely objective question based test. Most of time solving objective questions is tricky. Learn [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=5][SIZE=5]tips to solve GATE objective questions[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=5][SIZE=5] from GATE TEACHERS

Don’t worry if your percentage in university exams is low as GATE admissions do not consider them. Just maintain minimum percentage required by many colleges including IIT’s.

Group study is one of the best ways of preparation. Divide sections/topics between you and your partner and have a brief session on topic from your friend before you actually start topic. This will save your time and efforts and will improve your and your partner’s understanding on the topic.
Normally coaching GATE is not required but if you are not able to concentrate much then this is a good option.

GATE or the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is conducted by the seven IIT's and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

By giving this exam you can pursue master's program in engineering. It generally tries to assess the potentiality of undergraduate students. This exam tries to measure your capibilities, whether you are prepared to opt for higher education or not.

In 2013 the GATE exam will be organized IIT Bombay.

Since GATE tries to test your basic knowledge therefore it is very important for you to know the basics and fundamental things of every subject.

So simply mugging of formulas wont do. Questions are basically conceptual. So until and unless you get to the root of all the chapters you wont be able to approach a question from all angles. This is a very important point which needs to be remembered always.

To crack GATE you need dedicated practice and study for a few months. Therefore whenever you start your preparation start practicing the solved papers of previous years to know more about the areas of importance.

While giving exam create a serious ambience and try to stick to the time as much as possible to understand your current standing. This will help you to evaluate your performance to a great deal.

Generally for selection GATE score is the determining factor here. But some of the IIT's and NIT's at times take a separate written exam.

In that case GATE might get a 70% importance and the written test the rest 30%. For example a similar procedure is applied by the IIT Hyderabad.

Since you are in the third year i think this is the right time to start things so that you get much time at hand to prepare for it.

Suggesting some areas of specialization:

>>manufacturing
>>industrial engieering
>>aerospace
>>energy systems
>>design

For your exam you can refer to some of the books i have mentioned below. They are very popular among students and i think you will find them helpful. For more help on this it is advisable to talk to someone who has given the exam in the recent past. They will be able to guide you through this too.
