Hello Naveen,



I am also an instrumentation student so i can guide you how to prepare well for your exams. Its really good that you are preparing for the exam so early because many students starts there preparation late and hence won't able to manage good score in GATE.



GATE will help you to get admission into IITs and NITs for post graduation and also helps you to get job in PSU companies so its really important to secure good score in GATE.



For the GATE pattern it consists of 100 questions where 20 questions are for general aptitude which is scoring in nature but still you have to practice different types of questions. And rest 80 questions are from your core subjects. For scoring in this part you really need to focus on some subjects from where maximum number of questions asked like analog circuits, digital circuits, signals and systems and engineering mathematics not only this sometimes questions are asked by merging two subjects so you really need to be prepared for all kind of questions.



For books i suggest you to go for books published by Arihant publisher there is a book name 'GATE tutor' where all subjects are covered with all topics for Instrumentation and also general aptitude. This book covers previous year solved papers and different level of questions with solved answers.



I also suggest that if you find difficulty in preparing on your own, you can join couching classes but for that you need to manage your time with your college hours and studies so it may be tiring. But coaching classes have facilities like they will guide you for different level of questions and how to manage doing questions in short time because they give more questions to practice and you can join online coaching classes too.



I also suggest that while preparing, join test series where it helps you to understand that which subjects or topics you are lacking and need more practice.
