Hello there,

Starting GATE preparation in the 2nd year is a great decision, even with a backlog. Here’s a structured plan to help you:

1. Clear Your Basics First

• Start with Engineering Mathematics and General Aptitude as they contribute 30% of the marks.
  
  
• Focus on core subjects like Thermodynamics, Strength of Materials, and Fluid Mechanics.
  
  
• Use standard textbooks (e.g., RK Bansal for Fluid Mechanics, PK Nag for Thermodynamics).
  
  2. Manage Your Backlog
  
  
• Prioritize clearing your backlog, as a strong foundation is essential for GATE.
• Devote 1-2 hours daily to backlog subjects while studying for GATE.
  
  3. Create a Study Plan
  
  
• Set daily and weekly targets with subject-wise completion goals.
  
  
• Allocate 3-4 hours daily for GATE preparation along with your semester studies.
  
  
• Keep weekends for revision and problem-solving .
  
  4. Use the Right Study Materials
  
  
• Refer to standard books and NPTEL lectures .
• Solve previous 10–15 years’ GATE question papers .
• Enroll in a good online course or coaching (optional) .
  
  5. Focus on Problem-Solving
  
  
• Solve numerical questions daily , especially from previous GATE papers.
• Attempt mock tests regularly from the 3rd year onwards.
  
  6. Revise & Stay Consistent
  
  
• Maintain short notes for quick revision.
• Revise important formulas regularly.
  
  7. Take Mock Tests (After 3rd Year)
  
  
• Start taking subject-wise and full-length mock tests .
• Analyze mistakes and work on weak areas.
  
  8. Stay Motivated & Healthy
  
  
• Join GATE preparation groups for motivation.
• Maintain a balance between GATE and academics to avoid stress.

By starting early and staying consistent, you can secure a top rank in GATE despite your backlog.

See considering that your daughter receives 120 in JEE 2025, as per our prediction and estimation she will get a percentile which is 90+, now usually for reserved categories The cutoff is about 80+ in NIT, so there's a high chance she can pick one of her choice.

Best NIT for Mechanical Engineering are NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, NIT Calicut, and MNNIT Allahabad, in which NIT Trichy is regarded as one the best.

Hello Manish,

With a score of 55 marks in JEE Main 2025 and considering your SC category, getting admission to SGSITS Indore for CSE or Mechanical might be challenging, especially for the more competitive branches like CSE. The cutoff ranks for these branches tend to be higher.

However, since you belong to the SC category, you may have some advantage in the counseling process. For a more accurate prediction, you will need to check the previous year's cutoff trends for these branches in SGSITS, which can give you an idea of whether your score will meet the eligibility.

It’s recommended to stay updated on the official counseling process and apply accordingly, as some seats might be available in these branches based on the category quota.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello there,

For SC category students aiming to get admission into the Mechanical Engineering branch at SGSITS Indore through the home state quota via JEE Main, a score of 70-90 marks in the January 2025 attempt should be a safe target.

However, actual cut-offs may vary depending on factors like:

1. The difficulty level of the exam.
2. Total number of applicants.

Hello Greetings

A major degree in Mechanical Engineering with minors in Computer Science and Engineering can be considered as a form of *interdisciplinary* or *multidisciplinary* education, but it may not strictly fall under the category of *dual specialization*.

Definitions

- *Dual Specialization*: Typically refers to pursuing two separate undergraduate or graduate degrees simultaneously, resulting in two distinct specializations. For example, a student pursuing both a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.

- *Major-Minor Combination*: Refers to a student's primary degree (major) in one field, supplemented by a secondary set of courses (minor) in another field. In your case, the major is Mechanical Engineering, and the minor is Computer Science and Engineering.

Key differences

- *Credit requirements*: Dual specialization programs often require completing the full credit requirements for both degrees, whereas a major-minor combination typically requires fewer credits for the minor.

- *Degree awarded*: Dual specialization programs usually award two separate degrees, whereas a major-minor combination results in a single degree with a primary specialization (Mechanical Engineering) and a secondary specialization (Computer Science and Engineering).

Conclusion

While your academic program combines elements of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering, it is more accurately described as a *major-minor combination* or an *interdisciplinary* program rather than a *dual specialization*.

Have a great day
