GATE Preparation

Hi Mamta,
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination administered and conducted jointly by the IISC and 7 IITs every year. Over the past few years, the number of applicants for GATE has increased dramatically, due to reasons like the pattern changes, PSU recruitments based on GATE score, attractive packages for career options after MTech, the urge to stand out among increasing number of engineering graduates etc.
How to Prepare
A close look at the changing pattern of the exam over the years indicates that – precision is the key ingredient for cracking GATE. GATE primarily tests the applicants' grip on basic concepts of various undergraduate subjects and the ability to apply them in problems. Thorough knowledge of fundamentals and extensive practice are the only two factors that can bring success in GATE. Candidates should plan their preparation strategically, by attempting previous papers and analyzing the weightages for various topics. Also, aspirants should spend time in solving old GATE papers and also analyze the relative weightages for various topics across the years. This will help in planning the preparation optimally
