Hello aspirant!!! The preparation for gate takes around 1.5 to 2 years. So ideally you can start preparing from your 3rd year of engineering. This is the time that most of the students follow.  Although to perform better and get an edge over others in this fierce competition you could start preparing in 2nd year itself, or from your 4th sem to be precise . Hope this helps. 

Hello aspirant!!!! Since you haven't start yet and there is less than a year left which is very less time, you really need to buck up and set your mind to be ready to grind for each and every day that remains. Since you are focusing on jee main , NCERT is a must. You have to be very thorough through it. NCERT will cover up all the concepts and many times in chemistry questions are asked directly from it. For physics and maths practice is the only step. Do join a coaching as well to gain a boost. It will really help a lot. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Hello Shaikh!

From Jee preparation your physics mathematics and chemistry will be prepared .Besides this you have to prepare for English,Logical Reasoning,and Analytical Problem Solving.

Hope it answer your concerns .

Feel free to ask if you have any other queries.

Hi Prabhat,

The best way to qualify GATE is if you are well versed with in depth knowledge of your 4 years of engineering. Familiarize yourself witth the syllabus. Make a chart on which courses are important and which among them are taught in which semester.

That way, you can put stress on them and get your doubts cleared while in class. It is pretty early for you to prepare yourself right from first year.

You can relax for now and make the necessary strategies. Most of the departmental subjects are from second year. So keep your head clear and learn the basics. The basics will help you clear GATE

All the best!

Hello student, 

Get a coaching either online of by getting admission into a good gate master classes like made easy or other. Getting proper knowledge and clear concepts wont allow you alone to Excel in gate exam, you need proper guideline and for that u need to go to gate classes not may be regularly but you can opt for weekend classes as well. Make a habit of solving aptitude from Arun sharma.

Yes do rd sharma thoroughly and also do rs Aggarwal and ncert thoroughly. Follow ncert for other subjects also I. e. For chemistry, physics and maths. Do chaya prakasani if you get time. The more you practice the more efficient you will get. Wbjee is not tough but time management is essential
