GATE Preparation and Time Management


GATE Preparation and Time Management

Time management is a real trick for achieving any goal in life. GATE is no exception. Recently, I have been receiving many emails and questions regarding time management for GATE exam. The questioners are either having full time job or students of final or pre final year. The answer is not easy, and every great thing is not easy in life. If someone has a full job or college to attend they need a give an extra effort by managing their time tightly. For managing time first one need to find where is the time that they can use. I have few points to share with you all regarding time management.

  • Check daily routine and write down these activities on a paper with hours. Don’t need to be very hard and strict about timing, don’t need to mention exact hour and minutes of the activity.
  • Once we have a list of activities we do in a day we also have a good idea of what we are doing in a day.
  • Figure out activities we are doing for fun and can be compromised for certain time.
  • Make use of this time for GATE preparations.
When I was student I noticed that usually I spend time in traveling and with friends without doing any productive work. My college was 13 KM away from home and used to take about 30 minutes to reach there.
The first thing I did was started using public transportation. And second thing was to go little early. By which I can get a seat in bus to go to college and I spend that travel time either for reading, revising or taking rest in bus. I was a student so I used that early hours to sit in library and prepared GATE and other exams. And another thing I did was to leave college very late may be at library closing time. I tried to make best use of library. When I finished my B.Tech, everyone knows where I am, if I am not in class. To make it great we need to sacrifice and need cut some of the thing which we love. Every time we make a hard decision by knowing what are we are doing, it will benefit us in long run. The hard work always pays us, one or the other day, in one or the other day.
The common distracters for students are
1. Travel long distance driving our own vehicles on regular basis.
2. TV serials
3. Too much unproductive time wasting friends
4. Too much sleeping
5. Spending too much in markets
6. Watching movies almost every weekend, watching them from bed till return to bed.
These are few common time consumers in life. If we manage them properly we can do many things miraculously on time.The last point is to be very consistent in our preparation. It’s not a one day job it’s a consistent effort achieve big result.
GATE is big opportunity for student who didn’t have a chance to prove, because of image issue with lectures in B.Tech. They have a golden opportunity to prove. GATE is totally an open competition and you may beat the best student of your college with consistent efforts. Your friends may tease for your change, please don’t worry about them much. They will also cherish your great achievements in future and feel great to associate themselves with you. Hard work with consistency will take you there.

How to do well in the GATE exam


How to do well in the GATE exam ?

It has been a quest for a long time for many engineering students about how to do well in the GATE exam. Is there any single success formula for it??? This article provides you the necessary tips and advice to crack GATE exam.

Well,first answer this question yourself….
What do you mean by doing well in GATE???

People have variable answers to this.

For some, doing a M.Tech has got some meaning only if you do it from the IITs.

Many fall in this category. So your score needs to be pretty high.!

For some,doing an M.Tech from IITs is not enough….the discipline is very important…how much prospect it has…go for it only if you have passion for the subject…so,say if you are looking for Microelectronics at IIT Bombay as your only option you need to have a king-size score.!

For some, doing an M.Tech is all that he wants…..very few fall into this category.

And for some, GATE for doing M.Tech???.....2 years too expensive to waste…they go for PSU jobs and get interview calls if they secure a very high rank.
And ya….a huge no. of people, if not more than 90% ,fall into this category.

The most important fact that a GATE aspirant needs to keep in mind all the time, is that if you want to do M.Tech all that matters is the GATE SCORE…the All India Rank is a meaningless number.!

Now let us discuss a few important points about how to prepare for GATE.

As a strategist, you need to know which are the topics where you can score the most giving minimum effort. These are Engineering Mathematics and General Aptitude sections. If you have a good preparation you can back yourself to score the entire 30 marks allocated for this section. So these two topics need to be given the highest priority for good GATE score.



Coming to the technical section,the most important point for any candidate is that he should first sit and identify his areas of strength and weakness. The easiest way to do this is to go for a diagnostic test which is readily available in most guide books.Try to increase your confidence in the areas of strength and find out easier ways to deal with your weak areas making sure that you don’t give huge effort in grooming yourself up for these weak topics as it will not give you the bulk of the marks that you are looking for.!



Next,practice as many questions as you can. But most importantly,try to investigate a question.Don’t just look at the question and solve or go through the solved answer….try to figure out a possible conclusion from the question or some other questions answered in the process. If you come across a question which you feel is important for you, note it in a diary made separately for GATE. It’s often very useful to make a note of what goes or should go through your mind when you see the question at first glance. Let me give an example,



Find the minimum value of 4x + 41-x

If you know how to solve this,you are through.!

But in case you don’t know and you have little time,you need to hit the fovea centralis in one go.!!
So here I introduce the concept of THOUGHT PROCESS which you should generate in your own way and make a note in your diary for every question.So in this case,



Thought Process- Since a minimum no. is required,definitely we have to find one inequality.

Just looking at the sum,it’s pretty easy to understand that if we multiply 4x & 41-x we get a no. which is independent of x which is equal to 4.

So we can go for AM>=GM inequality.



Soln: AM>=GM

or, (a + b)/2 >= (ab)1/2

or, (4x + 41-x)/2 >= 2

or, (4x + 41-x) >= 4



Therefore the minimum value is 4.!



‘Thought Process’ is your own unique way of looking into a problem but should be generated whenever required. Nevermind if this takes some time & you are able to solve lesser questions per day compared to your friends, this is much more effective than running a counter and blindly solving a huge no. of questions.!



Next comes Time Management.

As usual in most competitive exams, the clock is your biggest enemy.!
The GATE paper consists of 65 questions- 30 1mark & 35 2mark questions.

Now the question is….which section to attempt first??

There can be several ways of attempting the paper & you need to experiment & find out which one suits you the best.
One thing is for sure that the speed that you have when you are starting the paper is much less than what you have at the middle of the exam. Again,it’s inevitable that there will be some amount of anxiety at the beginning & you would love to face some easy questions at this point & keep the bombarding questions to be addressed later.

Keeping these things in mind, I would personally follow this method-

I would start my paper with the 25 1mark technical questions. These are relatively easy & at least you can understand quickly weather you can solve them or not.
Next I would go for the 2marks common data questions & linked answer questions.

These include a total of 8 questions and each set of questions are linked. So if you know the topic,then you can score quickly in these sections.

Then I would go for The General Aptitude Section.(10 questions).
Upto this,I have gone through 43 questions & I would back myself up to reach upto this point in 90-110 mins.
Finally,what is left over is the 2mark technical question section(22 questions). Try to finish this within 45 mins.
So, you have taken roughly 105 + 45=150mins.

Or for that matter say 160 mins.

You have 20 more mins to go through some questions which you feel you can give a try.

One can go for any other method but the basic objective should be kept in mind…..Beat The Clock.!!



Next & perhaps the most deciding factor is Negative Marking Control.

In these remaining few months of your GATE preparation develop a mentality that you will attempt only those questions where you are sure enough to get that correct. Even 1mark can make a big difference to your rank & affect the GATE score considerably. So practice hard & try to curtail the negatives to a minimum as possible.It’s like you can take a single or push for a couple of runs or look for a boundary. But either go for a six or gift your wicket to the opposition is in no way a sensible option.!!


So in a nutshell,there is no fixed protocol for GATE success but you can follow the above techniques if you find them useful as I believe that it would built the warrior in you that is required to face deciders such as the GATE exam.!

For your GATE preparation, always remember your job in the form of SCENT-



S- Sincerity

C- Confidence

E- Effort

N- Negative Control

T- Time Management



Hope this article would be of some help for GATE aspirants.!!

All the Best.!!!

Cracking GATE 2013 - Preparation Tips

To cracking the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) opens the ways to opportunities in higher education. The GATE is the test that sees intense competition for seats in post-graduate courses in engineering and sciences in top institutes in the India is administered by the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc). Though a separate test is conducted in many states in India for admission into M.Tech and ME courses first preference for filling up the M.Tech and ME seats is given to GATE Score. Some institutions specify GATE mark as mandatory even for admission of self-financing students to join  postgraduate programmes. Over the past few years, the number of applicants for GATE has increased for various reasons like changes in pattern, Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) considering GATE scores for recruitments, attractive career options for post-graduates and the urge to stand out among the increasing number of engineering graduates among others. “GATE 2012 scores would be considered as the merit criterion by organisations such as Powergrid, BHEL, IOCL and NTPC, for recruitment to the posts of Executive Trainees and Management Trainees next year. Preparation for GATE

comes handy for other PSU exams like CIL, SAIL, GAIL etc and also campus recruitment interviews,”.

Things to know to Crack GATE 2013
Pre-final year students ie third year students are not be eligible for GATE 2012. “But this should not affect preparation of pre-final year students who plan to appear for GATE when eligible, as it is always better to start early and revise towards the end. Out of the 21 optionals in GATE, only one can be taken in a particular year. There is no restriction on which optional you can take in GATE. But, candidates wishing to attempt an optional not related to their qualifying degree, must check the admission rules of the institutes of interest carefully,”.

A close look at the changing pattern of the GATE exam over the years indicates that precision is the key ingredient for success in GATE 2013. The three-hour GATE paper will have a total of 65 questions. General Aptitude plays a significant role in maximizing the score, with as much as 15 per cent weight-age. Engineering mathematics also enjoys a weight-age of 15 per cent in GATE Exam.Practice will help candidates sharpen their basic skills and make you perfect so as to derive the maximum benefit from these sections. Engineering subjects, where the fundamentals are tested, enjoy 70 per cent weight-age. GATE Engineering subjects Question types would fall into three broad categories – memory, application of knowledge and conceptual understanding. Answers once marked cannot be changed. So, be careful. Only black ink ball pen are to be used for marking the answers. Pencils are not allowed to fill your GATE OMR answer sheet.GATE exams conducted yearly once only, so candidates should plan their GATE 2013 preparation strategically, by solving previous years GATE question papers and analyzing the weightages for various topics GATE previous years question papers. “Concepts should be revised, practice papers and previous/mock GATE papers should be solved, Now a days many sites are providing GATE mock online test for free and some paid services also available in the internet. So it is in your hand to utilize it effectively since these GATE mock test are very much to crack GATE 2013.
GATE 2013 Application
Previous year (GATE 2012) candidates need to register and fill the application Online only as the sale of application forms through banks and GATE office counters has been discontinued. The admit cards were to be downloaded from the respective IIT websites. So they may follow this for GATE 2013 also. In GATE 2012, a total of six papers (AR, GG, TF, AE, AG and MN) will be conducted completely online. This indicates that there is a good chance of GATE becoming completely online exam in coming years. Before applying GATE 2013, candidates must ensure that they have chosen the right paper, which qualifies them to become eligible to seek admission to the specific programmes they are interested in. Academics say students getting ranks below 100 can be assured of a seat in either the IISc or top IITs.
