GRADUATE APTITUDE TEST IN ENGINEERING 2024
ORGANIZING INSTITUTE: INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BENGALURU
IISc Bengaluru organizes GATE 2024. Official notifications have been released.
Some suggestions from my side:
- Be ready with your fundamental concepts, and knowledge, mathematical background. Not every time paper was easy like GATE 2023 IIT Kanpur.
- To score well in this exam, don't ask "what to read", you must know "what should not read".
- Try to know the ideas/concepts about the topics but don't do a Ph.D. on particular topics/subjects. do not spend too much time on single subjects.
- Read the subject from standard resources (do not follow too many books for single subjects.) and cross-check, and verify your coaching notes if you join any.
- Do not follow so many university/lecture videos for a single topic, stick to the one.
- Make a timetable and follow it, track your preparations, and make a good friend circle (gate field).
- Use your internet facility for your betterment.
- Don’t ignore or postpone your maths and aptitude till November-December. put 1 hour daily form now.
- Try to complete your syllabus as soon as possible. Again it depends on the students but ideally, they complete everything at the end of October (exceptions are there). start with easy subjects so that you will get confidence. Don't aim for $X$ marks for $Y$ IIT. Just go with the flow.
- Solve your doubt immediately, and take help from your gate overflow website, GOOGLE, or teachers.
- Try to make short notes/ formula sheets/mistake copy etc whichever you find better for your preparations.
- Don't stop yourself. Practice more and more questions. avoid low-quality questions, understand the importance of PYQ, analyze the options, and try to solve NAT questions more, for MSQ read the theory.
- Don't be afraid to give tests. try to give as many as a test, use gate overflow for questions practices, and don't go anywhere. do not follow any YouTube brand name/ big coaching-funded company ( they all are“naam bade darshan chote”)
- Do all your silly mistake today. try to purchase at least 2 test series from different institutes so that you can check your level. Give all of its tests. don't listen to any random topper that I have given $<10-15$ mock test and I get the rank (Hawa mai bat karna). At the beginning of the mock test, marks will fluctuate, give them until you get desired marks
- Put aside your relationship, hangout, late-night call, friend's birthday, farewell party, college fest, relative marriage, projects, coding (you will get enough time after the gate for this), and all nonsense, they all can wait but time will not.
- Try to deactivate your all social media accounts. (it is up to you) and focus on your GOAL.
- Don't stop until you reach your dreams IIT/IISc/PSU.
Good Luck 2 all of you.
