Start your revision

With only 40 days left for the GATE exam, students must start revising the entire GATE syllabus thoroughly. All students who are preparing for the exam for the last few months should check their notes, short notes and formula sheets to check for the clarity of concepts. In case of any confusion, they must immediately contact their mentors for clearing their doubts.

Do not start a new topic

If students are preparing quite long for the exam, there are very few chances that they have left any topic out of the GATE syllabus. However, if a student didn’t go through any of the chapters, there is no need to start it now. Rather such students can improve their preparation of the other topics. They should also check for the important topics for their subjects.

Practice Previous Year GATE Question Papers and Mock Tests

Students must solve GATE previous year question papers and appear for the mock tests. They must make sure that question papers are solved within the same time as that of the exam. It will help the students to understand the GATE 2022 exam pattern and manage their time. GATE mock tests and previous year question papers will assist students in knowing their preparation level and weak topics. Students will also get a fair idea about the pressure they may encounter during the exam by appearing in the full-length tests.

Take Care of Your Health

It is very important for students to take care of their health. With winter at its peak and growing cases of Omicron in India, candidates must not be careless about their health. All aspirants must avoid any kind of outside food and should eat healthy at home as well. All students must allot at least one hour for regular outdoor physical activity. It will help in relaxing their mind and keep them energetic for the next day study.

These 40 days can help GATE aspirants improve their preparation and better their GATE score considerably. They only need to follow the aforementioned tips and be regular in their studies.

The exam will be conducted by the IIT Kharagpur on the scheduled dates and the GATE 2022 result will be available by March 17, 2022.
