Most common mistake that students make is not analyzing the syllabus and making a proper plan. A keen observation of the pattern of the exam and trends of the questions is important. You also need to see which topics are the most important and thus need to pay more attention to them.
Other very common mistake is not revising the previous topics.  Also, one should not keep the whole revision fir the end but do that regularly.
Also you need to be very disciplined throughout the whole journey. Studying diligently and sincerely is the most important. You should be focussed towards your goal.
Another mistake made by many is getting demotivated by other student's failure. And once demotivated it is very difficult to get back on track. Just always remember that people are very different. Just because someone you know couldn't clear it does not mean the same will happen to you.
So be sincere, hard working and crack it.

Hello Abir !

If you want to pursue higher studies in Computer science or want to jobs in PSU'S after doing bachelor's from CSE , then don't distract yourself if you get a private job in an IT firm , this is the most common mistake from my point of view all computer science students preparing for GATE does , as being a CSE graduate you will easily get a job after your engineering from college placements or off campus , and by this you might get distracted from your preparation.
