Hi Aanchal,

Balancing Engineering semester exams with competitive exam preparation can feel confusing but with right and realistic routine makes it very achievable.

Start by dividing your day into two parts: use college hours and afternoons for semester prep and keep early mornings or late evenings for GATE prep.

Make weekly targets instead of daily pressure, revise class notes on the same day.

Use weekends for mock tests, previous year papers and deeper revision.

Try to limit social media, study in 40 to 50 mins focused blocks and take short breaks.

Most importantly stay consistent and give yourself patience.

With consistent timetable and steady effort you can manage both in smooth. All the best Aanchal!

Good Afternoon, Aspirant,

Managing time for both the semester and the gate exam is indeed challenging.  However, a perfect timetable and strategic planning can provide the stability to manage and utilise time effectively.

Create a schedule and make short notes of everything you have read. In this way, you can memorise more and remember to revise the important topics often. it will help you reach the cutoff.

Thank You. Feel free to ask further.
