How to prepare for GATE exam.

1. Buy hard copy of previous year question papers.
(Or Download GATE Mechanical APP )

2. Look at the syllabus and understand the weightage for each subject from previous year question papers. All subjects don't have equal weightage; few subjects are preferred over others. E.g. Mathematics questions are having weightage of 15 marks.

3. Prioritize subjects based on marks, preference and importance. Look for any specific change in this year's examination. If subjects are not arranged as per its importance one may end up in random preparation which will not guarantee the success in the GATE.

4. Do the reverse planning from the date of exam (Generally, date of exam is January last Sunday). Allocate the appropriate time for each subject. Keep last month for only practicing the question papers and revision.

5. Read through various chapters, clear the concepts. Concept clarity is very important. Ask your friends/professors for clarity. Help other students.

6. Try to visualize the things. Recite the important formulae's, make short notes.
These notes will help you to have quick review during mock test and during final exam.

7. If you are weak in concepts, you should consider joining a good coaching institute. Join the mock test series from any renowned institute, get the All India Rank, analyse the subject wise performance.

8. Work weak subjects. Solve as many papers and question banks as possible.

9. Start early, plan and work hard (at least 8 hrs/day from July to exam date). It just needs consistency.

10. The GATE exam is easy. Don't worry about any other stuff like competition and so on. Focus on preparation.Wish You All a Good Luck for GATE 2018.
