This was complete information about GATE Exam and now coming to the preparation tips for this exam in just 2 months. So, let’s start –
Time for GATE is very near, and the main question is; If you start preparing now, is it possible to crack the GATE exam? So, the answer is a big yes. If you only concentrate on the main topics. Because we have only 60 days left for preparation. We will leave some topics which are not or least important. First, let’s see the planned four points overview which will help us to crack GATE ECE.
Let’s explain these four topics, one by one.
♦ Let’s start with number one point; Previous Year Paper Analysis – From analyzing the last 27 years. If you see the distribution of total questions asked in GATE so far. If you arrange it in a sequence of highest to lowest number of questions except for microprocessors, every subject has equal weightage. Still, these are from the last 27 years, but the pattern has changed from the 2012 paper.
Arrange this changed pattern questions from highest to lowest marks. Again, you will find every subject time almost equal weightage except microprocessors. Now, it is a similar list as seen in the previous 27 years total list, right?
Okay! Let us find the highest and least important topics.
You will have to make a list. In this list, the first column is subject, the second column is topics in that subject, and the third column is the total question asked in these topics. Arrange these topics from highest to lowest weightage. You will find the list of most to least important topics in total. There are 76 topics in all the subjects.
♦ Now let’s jump to the second point. Plan Off Main Preparation. We will start the preparation plan from, for example, November 1st to December 31st, i.e. for 60 days. Save the last ten days for revision, which we will discuss in the next section. So we have only 50 days for our preparation. Now, we will see how much time do we give for each subject?
Preparation is entirely based on the distribution of marks and topics. The number of days for each topic and subject is divided into the plan. Just distribute the topic in the categories of advance, moderate, and straightforward. For Advance topics, you will have to give more time than other subjects. Toppers usually give 3 hours for advance topics. For moderate topics, you should spend at least one and a half hours reading their notes. And for an Easy topic, you must give less than one hour to prepare for that topic. Also, you must try to reduce the consumption of time for particular topics. Also, you have to practice aptitude at least one hour daily based on your comfort limit.
♦ The next point, which is Revision. You should have the sequence of the subjects based on the difficulty level. You must complete your preparation in the time limit, which is 50 days. And the rest 10 days, you should spend it to revise the topics in your comfort limit.
♦ Now the last point is Resources. This is for precious people who are doing a job. I would suggest a grant timeline to four-hour study daily and try to concentrate on previous year papers only for more details.
