@manu00x Veteran...Since I'm starting late, I would be happier to get into a decent NIT and then again prepare for Gate 2019 while preparing for semesters there because I don't want to lose 1 more year. I know I should have started a lot earlier but due to some serious health issue (eye stoke in my left eye), I couldn't start from June or July. But now that I'm completely recovered now, I'm super determined and pumped up to give 13-14 hours per day consistently. All I need is a proper schedule of the order of subjects to be prepared and strategy to cover all the concepts as quickly as possible so that I can get some reasonable time to practice the previous year questions and give some test-series too.
