Ideally, you should start the preparation in third year. You can take coaching from various institutes. You can also get online coaching for it.

Hi, IIT Madras is known as one of the best college.if you wish to go abroad for higher studies after M.tech, I would strongly recommend you to join IIT Madras. It has a really great brand name among IITs across the world and the chemical engineering department here has professors known worldwide in their field.If you are aiming for placements, I won't recommend you to join IIT Madras.

You should start preparing for the exam when entering the 3rd-year so that you can complete your preparation smoothly. Preparation will help you for college exam as well as for GATE. You can join any coaching institute or try to solve last year's questions.

You have to score rank under 1000-1500 for this course.
