how to prepare for gate in two months and to prepare for IES in 5 months

dear friend
there in not syllabus for GATE and IES that's why you should not only 2&5 month you should give regularly because this is a basic exam and not easy to crack that's why you should decide how much time you spend on both preparation.
good luck.............

i want to made it clear that there is no any shortcut of getting sucess . it needs hard labour and sincerety . if you are a good student then you will surely get sucess . but shortcut is not the path of sucess and these two exams are standard . so study regularly and dont look at shortcuts.

For gate and IES most of the technical syllabus are common.
So prepare the common part and strong the part since it is important for both and then prepare for the gate's different part.
After gate adopt the general awareness study and rest of the technical study.

first year student how to prepare for gate? wat will the syallabus?

Is it possible to crack IES in 6 months?

sir ,i am in 3"rd yr now ,sir please guide me how to manage the time for gate for next year.

Hello Friend
Preparing for GATE can not be as easy as preparing for your college examinations.You must have good base knowledge and good concepts of all the topis of the GATE syllabus.

For the good preparation you must have to start it before one year of the examination.

Here are some of the tips for the prepartion of the GATE exam:

1.Try preparing notes after reading every chapter/topic.

2.While reading any chapter/topic do ask your self following questions "What", "How", and "Why" and see improvement

3.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.

These are some the good or you can say worth rules...Best Wishes for the exam..

don't try to prepare new subjects.........try to revise the subjects you already studied for GATE.....but for IES, you have to work hard as it consists of theory tooo

1. Material Collection for GATE

•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 for GATE:

•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.

good luck

is it sufficient n vice to crack prepare according to the paper styling frm past 10 year papers? for gate!

For the good preparation you must have to start it before one year of the examination.

Here are some of the tips for the prepartion of the GATE exam:

1.Try preparing notes after reading every chapter/topic.

2.While reading any chapter/topic do ask your self following questions "What", "How", and "Why" and see improvement

3.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.

i want to made it clear that there is no any shortcut of getting sucess . it needs hard labour and sincerety . if you are a good student then you will surely get sucess . but shortcut is not the path of sucess and these two exams are standard .
