Electrical and Electronics Engineering

It is very good that you start your preparation right from the first year of college. Two years of rigorous study have paid off, and you very well deserve a break. Studies include basics of every branch. Just observe everything, and make sure you want to get into technical side, i.e GATE / ESE. Second year usually has some important subjects, make sure you don't study them just for clearing the semesters, but for getting in depth knowledge. It is very tough to do that, but once you do that, it will pay you off very well 2 years later. In the 3rd year, join a coaching. Or, arrange some good study material and start serious preparations. You won't get that much time in final year, plus a head start is always better. In the final year, revise and repeat. Infinite times. Join a few good test series. Attempt all tests. You will gain the momentum that will surely help you perform well on the day.

If you are planning to study abroad, the admission process will require you to give one language exam and one standardized exam. However, depending on the country, course or college you are targeting, you may be exempt from standardized exams, but you would still be required to take one language exam to show English language proficiency. Depending on the course and college, you may also be required to provide scores of one standardized test. Looking for Abroad Counselling?

The language exams show your English proficiency skills. You need to give either one of the language exams to get admission to any university in an English speaking country. These are required for almost all courses; Undergraduate courses, Postgraduate courses, Certificates or Diplomas (unless mentioned). Different countries give preference to one language exam over others. TOEFL is the preferred exam for universities at US and Canada, while it is not accepted at many colleges in UK. On the other hand, IELTS is the preferred exam for getting admission to universities at UK, Australia and New Zealand. PTE is accepted at a few colleges in US and most colleges in UK. CAE ad CPE are given preference by the British universities. Standardised Exams
