GATE 2025: Syllabus | Sample Papers
Hello,
GATE exam is one of the most toughest exams in India. It is the entrance test for taking admissions into IITs, NITs and various other renowned engineering colleges for pursuing M.Tech courses in various disciplines.
As told earlier, GATE is very tough. The qualification rate of GATE is only 16%. If you are taking it for grant, you can never qualify it. If you want to qualify GATE and obtain a good score, you need to be fully determined, passionate and honest towards the exam preparation.
First of all take out all the previous question papers and observe how questions are asked. You will observe that questions test your conceptual knowledge. Next, take out the list of subjects and search for the best books for that subject. Study thoroughly from the books, gain whole knowledge and never skip any topic. You can never predict that the questions can come from any specific topic. So, prepare full syllabus and clear your queries from the lecturers or from online sources as per your convenience. Practice all the numericals and their variations as much as possible. Don't try to mug up things. Understand the concepts. Make short notes of every subject and revise them after every specific intervals so that you can remember them till last.
If you are appearing for GATE 2020, then I will suggest you to focus on your best subjects and best topics. There is no time to start anything new. Just revise your strong subjects and topics.
Thorough study, understanding concepts, practice and revisions are the only way to qualify exam and score good percentile.
Best Wishes
