I get confused with gate preparation what should I do first understanding the concepts or analysis of question papers or reading reference books which are bit difficult but I can't understand which topics are important and which not or I should do firstly watching YouTube video for better .
Hi Darshana!
Before starting preparation first you should know the exam pattern and proper weightage for all the concepts. This can be known by analysing the previous year papers. Then for starting first find the best books and if you are interested in coaching you can find best coaching centers or you can apply for coaching online also there they will let you know the important topics or else to prepare without coaching then you need to have a proper plan checkout these links given below for further queries:

You may start your preparation by watching success stories of previous year candidates. You can note down their preparation strategy, Mock test followed by them etc. Understand the syllabus first, Then draw a plan (plan include short term- daily portions to be covered + Long run ie In a week you need to complete this much of portions like that ). Try to stick to the plan , follow it strictly. Clear All the basic concepts firsts, then practice previous year question papers of at least 10 years. Give mocks, Analyse your mistakes. You can definitely clear the exam. Suggested YouTube channels like Wify study, Un academy etc. Stay focused, prepare well. You can crack the exam in one go itself. If any doubts, pls feel free to ask !
Wish You Good Luck !
Thank You !!
