GATE 2025 Preparation Tips:
‣ GATE – 2025 will be held in the month of February. This means that almost 7 months of time is available for preparation.
By starting preparation much earlier than the time of the exam, you can procure standard books and related materials. The concepts and topics in the syllabus can be practiced well. This is an important event in gate success.
A closer look at the syllabus will help you understand which subjects should focus more on. It is also important to understand the examination procedure. This will bring clarity on the sections of the exam and the practice of the questions.
The previous GATE question papers must be practiced. This shows which aspects of which concept is given priority. You know what to focus on the most.
Along with the previous GATE question papers, the candidates will have to practice the exam papers for the recruitment of ESE, ISRO and PSU. By doing this, you will know how many ways a topic can be asked.
All subjects and all subjects will be given priority in GATE. So all subjects should be given priority in preparation.
Punctuality is very important in the preparation. The tasks assigned on any given day should be completed on that day itself.
Prepare small tables on each subject and each chapter related topics.
Equal importance should be given to the most difficult, simple and the most ordinary aspects in the preparation.
After reading each chapter and subject, write the online tests offered by leading educational institutions. Once the preparation is completed, sample question papers (mock tests) should be written. This shows the level of preparedness.
In the practice of chapters, subject-wise mock tests and sample question papers, every wrongly written answer should be corrected and practiced with special attention. With this type of exercise, those mistakes will not be repeated during the exam.
NTPL lessons are very useful for students to understand the basics. They are also useful for writing answers to analytical questions.
If you try to write a question paper in the previous year’s question papers at the time allotted for the exam, the candidates will understand the level at which they are.
Revision: Revision is very crucial for the exam. Every item read must be revised. The small tables prepared during the preparation should be taken advantage of in this revision.
Myths and Facts for GATE 2025:
The syllabus in gate exam is very high
This is not true. Gate syllabus is only 60 per cent as compared to the syllabus studied in four years of engineering. Only the sources and new trends related to the entire engineering branch will be included in the GATE syllabus. Even a large hill will disappear for some time if the rock is removed every day. If you go ahead with understanding each concept for two to three hours a day, you can complete the preparation of the entire syllabus in the time available.
In GATE, only IIT and NIT students will be the winners. Difficult for those with a rural background.
This is completely unrealistic. An analysis of the details of past winners shows that most of them have studied from ordinary colleges. Many have a rural background who studied in their mother tongue till intermediate.
‣ Only merit students in B.Tech will succeed in GATE.
It’s not true. There are many average B.Tech students who have worked hard with perseverance, concentration and determination and secured great ranks.
To pass gate, one has to study for at least one year after engineering.
This is also a myth. If you look at the winners of the previous GATE exams, there are many students studying in the third and final year of engineering.
