Crack GATE Without Coaching – Self Study Tips

Cracking the GATE examination requires proper study strategy, determination and focus. It requires constant efforts towards each subject in clearing up the basic concepts to obtain good marks.

Do’s for GATE Exam

  • Prepare easy subject first
  • Focus more on 2 mark questions. They boost your Score exponantially
  • Keep your fundamentals and concepts clear. The Questions asked in the GATE Exam are mostly based on the fundamental concepts.
  • By giving the Mock test you will actually know about question patterns and gain experience.
  • Practice as many Mock-tests as you can (that too as per the Standard pattern of the Gate Exam)
  • Solve at-least the last 10 years of Previous Papers. It will make you get the idea about the type of questions being asked in the Exam.

Don’ts for GATE Exam

  • Don’t lose your hope and confidence in preparation.
  • Don’t start your preparation with hard subjects. It may waste your time.
  • Don’t waste your time studying stuff that is out of the syllabus.
  • Don’t waste your time reading all the books for a single topic.
  • Don’t discuss the doubts just before the Exam at the Exam Centre.

GATE Self Study Tips

  1. Understand that you cannot get 100 marks in GATE 🙂 I think even 90 is a tough ask. Toppers answer around 85-90 marks (of course it depends on the paper’s difficulty, but the general trend is this).
  2. NEVER OMIT ANY subject. I find most students omit a subject based on the weightage.
  3. Self-study works, but I would suggest joining a coaching institute if you are unable to understand concepts.
  4. Aptitude & Maths will make a huge difference in your scores. Around 30 marks (including aptitude) is really easy to score. They are usually less difficult and direct than subject questions.
  5. Solve as many previous year GATE problems as you can.
  6. Learn concepts only from standard books
  7. Use standard books.
  8. Solve 10–15 Questions Daily.
  9. Make Your Own Formula Sheet.

Don’t forget these tips ever. These are very important for GATE Exam.
