TIPS FOR PREPARATION OF GATE EXAMS

1. Gate Exam is not looking for any syllabus completion from the candidate. A good understanding of the basic concepts and their application is required. By understanding, it is simple that candidate is not supposed to just be able to mug up & explain but rather this exam needs candidate to have a feel/common sense.

2. As a thumb rule, while solving any GATE problem, if the solution tames more than 8 steps, u must re-look at the approach (Generally GATE problems are not lengthy).

3. While solving the problem, students must have balance between speed & accuracy.

4. Preparation time for GATE is subjective and depends on the so many factors such as individual's aptitude, fundamentals, aptitude, concentration level etc., Typically a rigorous preparation of 4-6 months is considered good enough for getting into IISc ot IITs.

5. Keep a check on your performance; it is compulsory to directly jump upon the previous GATE question on the topic you just finished. You can try to solve some example in model papers also.

6. Any problem can be tackled in number of ways. So being innovative and intuitive also helps to reach the correct option quickly. 

7. You should have done sufficient study/discussion, so that the moment you start reading the question you should have an intuition on whether you can solve it.

8. While preparing always keep your goal in thought and fancy being in the place like top institutes wherever you want to have admission. Always remember "You can get, if you really want". So positive mind is the key. 

9. In the last day of preparation, if you have any doubts about any topic/formula, you can have a look on the these sections. Always remember, more doubts lead to more concept building.

10. Leave all the books few days before the exam. Have some good time and relax.
