GATE Preparation : by Bharat senior

* Prioritize GATE preparation over placement drives. GATE aspirants typically clear
placements easily.

* Treat academics as a daily commitment, not a last-minute effort. Study consistently,


even during classes.

* If you have other strong interests, avoid trying to balance everything. Focus your energy.

* Targeted Approach:

* Set a specific target score or rank for GATE.

* Determine your post-GATE goals and select a target institute.

* Analyze the institute’s cut-off scores and aim to exceed them.

Daily Study Schedule:

* Dedicate at least 1 hour daily to mathematics and 30 minutes to aptitude.

* Allocate 3-4 hours to another subject.

* Regularly revise and practice beyond the scheduled study time.

* Subject Progression:

* Begin with Network Theory (NT), Signals and Systems (SS), and Digital Logic Design
(DLD).

* Proceed with Analog Circuits and Control Systems.

* Conclude with Electromagnetic Theory (EMTL) and Communications.

* Conceptual Understanding:

* Focus on thorough concept comprehension, not just syllabus completion.

* Revisit lectures if you have any doubts.

Precise Notes:

* Create concise notes that cover every concept.

* Include essential concepts for quick revision, but avoid writing down every problem.

* Consistent Dedication:

* Dedicate consistent time to GATE preparation, even during classes, labs, and fests.
Preparation Timeline:

* Start preparation early. The senior began at the end of their first year, second semester,
inspired by a mentor.

* Managing Fatigue:

* Take short breaks when feeling bored, then return to studying.

* Resource Selection:

* Choose the best tutor for each subject, regardless of platform (e.g., PW or ACE).

* PW lectures were considered better than ACE lectures, in the senior’s opinion.

Exam Strategy

* Remain calm and avoid nervousness during the exam.

* Don’t attempt every question.

* Solve questions in order of confidence: easy, moderate, then difficult.

* You can go through the entire paper as many times as you want.
