GATE Topper Tips

GATE Topper Tips for Preparation

GATE is among the most competitive entrance exams in India. Every year over 8 lakh candidates apply for the exam making it difficult to obtain a rank high enough to land a seat in a good college like an IIT. Therefore, to help GATE 2023 aspirants, given below are a few tips given by previous years’ GATE toppers-

  • Make yourself familiar with GATE exam pattern
    • GATE is administered only once in a year. The duration of the paper is 3 hours. 65 questions are asked bearing a total of 100 marks.
    • The questions asked are MCQs, MSQs and NATs carrying 1 or 2 marks each.
    • Incorrect MCQs are also negatively marked.
    • Familiarise yourself with all this information about GATE exam pattern and marking scheme will help you prepare better. Check GATE 2024 Exam Pattern
  • Know GATE syllabus and weightage of every topic 
    • GATE Syllabus is usually divided into General Aptitude and Core Discipline with a weightage of 15 and 85 marks respectively. Check GATE 2024 Syllabus
    • Make a note of all the topics and sub-topics from each subject. Ensure that you prepare well for each topic. 
    • Analyze the weightage of every subject and topic through the previous year paper analysis.
    • Research on previous years’ GATE question papers well. This will give you an understanding of which areas will need more of your time. 
  • Choose appropriate resources and books 
    • There are a number of resources for GATE preparation. These include online video lectures, books, mock test series, etc. It is essential that your primary resources are good enough and include all the topics from the syllabus. 
    • Look up the best books available for your paper. Check GATE Important Books
    • You can go through your undergraduate books to establish a good foundation before you proceed to more complex topics. 
  • DOs of GATE preparation 
    • It is essential that you focus on understanding concepts instead of memorizing them. 
    • Practice question papers from previous years as often as you can. 
    • Answer and practice through several mock tests available on the official website. 
    • Understand the nature of questions asked from each subject - whether they are theory-based or numerical-based. Then, study accordingly. 
    • Attempt to find short methods to solve numerical questions which will save time. 
  • Plan your GATE preparation well 
    • You must begin preparing for GATE as soon as possible. This will give you more time to practice. 
    • Create an efficient study plan keeping in mind topic weightage and your lifestyle. 
    • Allocate sufficient time for revision as well. 
    • If you find yourself unable to study by yourself, you can get enrolled in preparatory courses - online or offline. 
    • Set specific targets and dedicate your effort to achieving them. A good idea would be to establish daily, weekly, and monthly goals. 
  • ​Revision and subject-wise tests to evaluate your preparation. 
    • It is only through revision that you will be able to retain all the information you have studied and practiced. 
    • It is recommended that you dedicate a day or two a week to revise what you have learned. 
    • Plan your preparation in a way that the time taken for revision of any topic reduces gradually. If this does not happen, study that topic again.
