ATE is an exam where your fundamentals are tested in your core exam along with your aptitude and engineering mathematics. This score of 100 will decide your future if you study in a college with very less placement or want to pursue higher studies. So, maybe you are thinking it is great to know all about so important of an exam so early that I can prepare it very well.

But unlike IAS or JEE, GATE syllabus is finite. Questions come from previous year GATE question papers, standard books for subjects and sometimes yeah examiner figure out new ways to test your knowledge.

In my opinion, One year prep for GATE is more than enough if you have a sound core background. I will suggest you to go for standard books for each subjects which are -

1. Mathematics - Higher Engineering mathematics by B. S. Grewal

2. Process Calculation - Chemical Process Principles Part-I by Hougen and Watson

3. Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics - I - Engineering thermodynamics by cengel and boles

4. Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics - II - Introduction to chemical engineering thermodynamics by smith

5. Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer - unit operations of chemical engineering by mccabe and smith

6. Mass Transfer - mass transfer operations by Treybal

7. Chemical Reaction Engineering - Chemical Reaction Engineering by levenspiel

8. Instrumentation and process control - Process System analysis and Control by coughanowr

9. Chemical Technology - Outlines of Chemical Technology by Dryden

10. Plant Economics and Design - Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers by Timmerhaus
