hello friend

it is right time for taking preparation to crack the GATE exam.


so for this you have to recaptulate all the departmental subjects which you have already studied.

for a reference book you may take GK publication book for gate.

you may also take coaching classes from good institute like

1.gate forum.


2.ellite.

3.guidance.

all the best....

The application starts in the month of september and the exam held in the month of Feb.
STRUCTURE
The GATE examination consists of a single paper of 3 hours duration, which contains 65 questions carrying a maximum of 100 marks..

The question paper of GATE will be fully objective type.

Candidates have to mark the correct choice by darkening the appropriate bubble against each question on an Objective Response Sheet (ORS).

There will be negative marking for wrong answers. The deduction will be 25% of the marks allotted.

its good to know u have an interest in 3rd yr ...
keep ur spirit moving...
yup ur entrance score is a must for the admissions...
and ur percentile can be above 60 okie...

but u should no limit ur percentile to 60 ... hav to score more... but for all this GATE is best one u hav to score ur best in it...

all the questions wil be inside the curriculam oly.. so concentrate on the subjects and get model question papers and try solving it ....

hav a regular practice... its not a difficult exam....here by i attach model paper follow it

hi
You can join tutorials to crack GATE exam.
One of them is the Brilliant tutorial.Also their books are also available. Please contact at [email protected].

In order pass the GATE your basics/fundamentals should be clear.Solve the previous years question papers.Go for mock tests.Prepare a list of formulae for the reference.If you learn the basics from first year onwards it will be easy for you.Also solve the sample series.Graduates or post graduates in Maths/Engineering/Architecture are eligible to write GATE. It has negative marking also.Refer the site gateonline.gateiisc.in/gate2011 for more details.

for the prepration of gate material is available on the book sellers by the made ezy buy it

whch z d gud coachng instiutes for gate entrance?am confusd plz help me out

Hello Friend
You have decided to prepare for GATE at right time ,so start preparation from now..Get the materials from the college library such as the materials of GATE FPRUM or the materials of BRILLIANT TUTORIAL...

And get the complete syllabus from the GATE brochure and star preparing.And the try to build up the concepts on each of the topics you read.

Best wishes..

Dear friend;

For the preparation of GATE exam first you

go through the deep study of Matematics,

Analog & dital electronics, Control system, etc...........

At last for testing your preparation

go through previous year question paper as well

as model papers.

i m student of ELECTRICAL engg in 2nd year.. i would like to know how can i start preparing for gate for 2012? what should i more focus on?
as my branch is ELICTRICAL.

GATE is not difficult to crack...with hard efforts and sincerity..one can easily crack the exam,,..you need to be focused from the beginning,...first keep in mind that you need to be fundamentally strong...read books for each subject...practice sample papers...A minimum of ^ months of sincere study is required for GATE exam to be cracked...

Friend first clear your backlogs then you have a time to prepare for GATE exam

dear friend,
to prepare ur self for gate exam u have to follow some procedure.first of all u must buy gate exam related book from market.then solved it's question paper.or u can take coaching under any institution such as gate forroum,briliant tutorials,briliant study academy etc.they provide u a good study material.u solved there study material .i m sure that u must qualify gate exam.
for more information regarding gate u can search www.gateforroum.com,www.briliant tutorial.com etc.
so take decission & make ur bright future.
good luck.

dear friend,
you may join the gate forum and take regular classes and give mock test you must get the real facility of it and you may follow the book of g.k publishers for knowing the pattern of questions, and study regularly in the gap of your semester exam, mind it.

good luck.

Dear friend

You take the syllabus from net and the compare with the syllabus of your university.

Then ,the which is common in both, you give stress on those topics. In this way

you will be prepared for both gate as well as your semester exam.

dear friend,

at first make command over the subjects which you have read upto 3rd year.

because maximum syllabus of GATE exam is covered by the syllabus of your university upto 3rd year.a small portion of 4th year is asked in the GATE exam.

also practice from the previous year papers of GATE.do lot of practice.

you can join nay national level test series to check your preparation.if possible you can join any reputed coaching institutes also.

good luck.

dear friend,
at first time you give the gate exam is very important for you.you should be mentally prepared and preparation regularly and be honest about your study.you should clearly all fundamental questions.you should not join any tutorials because you are studiyg in 3rd yr,and think everything yourselves.pleae don,t think more and you should be serious.
you make a routine about your study.
good luck....

it is a very good idea to be prepared for the GATE examination for fourth year. you may also appear in GATE in 3rd year to see your ability and also for some experience.

in GATE question come only from the basic of your subject. so clear the basic knowledge. whatever you will read, read to know the concept or the basic. give more trash in mathematics then your subject electronics. because mathematics parts is more easy then the subject. even in the examination at least 15 to 20 marks come from mathematics. now if you can get 12 to 15 from here and if you are strong in aptitude then sure you will be able to clear the cut off. so math is very important.

then try to cover maximum of the syllabus of GATE because question may come from anywhere. so be prepared for all that. as you are electronics student i will suggest you to read electromagnetic, RF and microwave engineering carefully. because a good marks come from this chapter. also linked question come from this.

best wishes.

hello friend

since you are writing your exam in 2012 you have good time to prepare.

first be clear with all the basics of electromagnetic,RF,Microwave.

the paper will of objective type.

best of luck

Dear friend,
You have enough time to prepare ,since you are writing the exam on year 2012
But don't lag your studies,keep going on seriously
Try to cover the entire syllabus and work out as many papers available
Try to prepare notes for your help and try to spend at least 1 hour in a day to prepare for GATE
Buy GATE books of GK publications or download the study materials from websites
Try to get online coaching or join coaching classes if you need
You can visit the websites like http://www.gateforum.com
Good luck friend

main thing is to join test series that helps u a lot
when u give mocks and all
so u can analyse ur strenth and weakness
analysis is very important for gate u can take the test series of gate forum

VERY INTRESTED:
HI this is KARIMULLA frm EVM COllege.i am stud 3rd eee.
i hav a inst to becom a profe ,bt i dnt hav that much of financial stratagy.
but for my self satisfaction i am applyd for gate to write in 3rd year,so hhow i can deal with the both sem subjects and gate syllbus??????????????????????????????????????????

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz send me proper path to my email is [email protected]

You can study online with the website http://www.onestopgate.com/
