I would suggest you to go through the below tips -



Step 1 : Know the Syllabus properly -

The first step the students need to take is to collect the correct syllabus. You can check the complete syllabus of MT below -

GATE Syllabus 2018



Step 2 : Select the Best Reference Books for GATE Metallurgical Engineering-

Start studying those basic books of Metallurgical Engineering (MT) that covers basic topics and which are easy to understand also which makes all your concepts clear.



Step 3: Identify Which Topics should study at First-

You must always prepare yourself along with the syllabus provided. You cannot prepare yourself without the syllabus.



Step 4 : Prepare a Study Plan

While preparing you must cross check yourself often with the syllabus you noted down. This will help you to work your schedule along with the syllabus and full focus on it.



Step 5 : Mock Papers

Once you complete your syllabus, start doing sample and previous year papers as this will be very helpful for your preparation. Apart from this, once you are done with all papers start revising the same by giving topic and full length online papers as this will make you familiar with the exam pattern and also will teach you with the time management skills during exam. Also, make a habit of giving at least 4-5 mocks daily.



Hope this helps!!!

Here are some preparation tips you can prefer:

• Check the past year papers and exam analysis.

• Divide the Topics broadly into Strong, Weak and to be read properly.

• Keep daily, weekly and monthly targets. Try to adhere to them as far as possible.

• Next schedule your preparation such that you revise the easy ones along with the tough ones and the “never read before” ones. This will ensure you have a clear view of what is to be studied and how you are going to do it.

• While many advise to check the weightage and study accordingly, it is really not the correct way to go. Check the weightage by all means and understand the important topics but don’t neglect to study the not so important topics

• Make Short Notes while you study as this is will be helpful during revision.

• Write down Formulae that you find difficult to remember so that they are handy for revision.

• Don’t wait for completing a portion of the syllabus. Start practising with test papers as soon as you done with a section or topic. Little steps of water make the mighty ocean.

• Keep the solved problems separately indexed so that you can refresh and revise later when required.

• Another tip for final year students is that you can match the topics that you will be studying in your graduation and club the studying part so you cover these to get a better hold on them.

Good Luck!
