GATE Textile Engineering Tips

Tips from GATE Textile Engineering and Fibre Science AIR 1- MEENU MUNJAL

  • Making Notes for Formulas: Even if you have learned and solved the formulas and their derivation, there are very good chances that you will forget it the next week. So a good practice is to keep revising the formulas from your notes.
  • Solving Test Series: It is crucial as it keeps you in the loop. You leave the test series, you lose your practice.
  • Online Lectures: Whatever coaching institute you may have joined, watch the video in 1.5-2x and solve any practice problems given on the same day.
  • Conceptual Clarity: Focus on a thorough understanding of the underlying concepts. Aim to gain a deeper understanding of the topic rather than memorize it. Strong fundamentals will help solve complex problems effectively.
  • Time Management: Divide your time wisely during your preparation. Prioritize courses based on their weight in the curriculum. Use timed mock tests regularly to improve your speed and accuracy.
