You should make a one-year preparation plan for GATE and learn things whole heartily. Prepare like the research work, ask the experts, join coaching class, talk to different preparation people and groups and make notes.

First, six months go with the theoretical preparation, Then start taking the previous year question papers. In the last two months start with the online test series and take two or three tests daily.

5. Question-solving Time-line

Solve the easier one then go for harder this is the thumb rule and common sense. When you start solving the question you will need confidence, one mark questions are easier than the two marks so solve them first to get initial confidence.

The first attempt those 25 technical questions then go for 10 non-technical questions based on general aptitude. Allow 80-90 minutes for this section. 70-80 minutes are sufficient for 30 technical questions and 10-15 minutes for quick revision of the answer sheet.

Previous years’ question paper is one of the very effective resources. You will get the idea of the stander and pattern of the questions. Online, there are lots of ways to get previous year question papers along with the solutions.

Experts suggest to make self notes and I think this is a good way because making notes makes you study than write what you have learned and again study what you have written, that’s mean you will have a chance to revise three times and more. You also get notes and books from trusted coaching institutes.

7. Online Preparation

Online practice sets for an online exam are a must part. Conduct 2 sets per day are good. Initially, Your aim should be only to practice,  don’t be so cautious about results during practice, it is only for you to get the feel of the examination hall.
