Hi,

Below are some useful tips for you to score good marks in GATE according to me -

1. First go through GATE syllabus completely.
2. Then discuss with your seniors or already qualified students how they prepared for exam.
3. Get standard text books,
4. See the weightage of each subject (you will get it readymade), based on weightage take priority of subjects.
5. Go through last 10 year question paper, to get to know the quality and difficulty level of questions in each subject. And start reading each subject/topics from standard text book.
6. After completing each topic try to solve previous year questions from that topic.
7. Repeat instruction 6 for each and every topic of full syllabus.
8. After completing each subject try to solve previous mock test(available in net), if you feel comfortable with that subject then keep it for final revision or else work hard till you get command on it.
9. Repeat instruction 8 for all subjects. And keep revising already completed subjects.
10. Finally try to solve 8-10 full length mock tests.

  • One and only strategy to crack gate exams,i .e practice. The more you practice ,the more you achieve. My answer would be specifically for Mechanical Engineering Stream.
  • Allocating 6 hrs a day for preparation would lead you to great scores.
  • The topics can be known and the propability of asking questions from the topics can also be known based on previous years question papers.
  • Preparing a short notes for each and every subject is must and should for those who aspire good scores . It acts like a handy Bhagavadgita while revising all topics at last.
  • Some of the most important topics are:
  1. Production technology——(17–18)Marks
  2. Thermal Engineering——-(12–14)Marks
  3. SOM———————————(10–11)Marks
  4. FM————————————(8–10)Marks
  5. TOM———————————-(8–10)Marks
  6. Maths———————————(12)Marks
  7. Aptitude——————————(15)Marks
  8. Design of machine elements—-(4–5)Marks
  9. Heat Transfer———————(5)Marks
  10. E.mech——————————(2–4)Marks
  11. Industrial Engineering——-(5–7)Marks
  • This is the fixed pattern for gate and way of framing the questions from time to time. differs...So practice makes you handle them very easily.
  • Mock tests are very important in boosting up your skills. And they let you know in which area you are weak.
  • Rather than piling up books on your study desk and searching for a specific topic during the exams time ,reviewing all your topics through the short notes prepared by you at the time of exam helps you prepare efficiently and achieve your goal.
