Hello Isha. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.
According to me, the summer vacations if your second year is the best time to prepare for GATE. Please note that GATE is used to gain admissions not only into the IITs, but you can also go abroad for higher studies using your GATE score or land a job in a good PSU.
First up, I would like to direct your attention to this link for the syllabus for your EC paper:
- http://www.gate.iitg.ac.in/Syllabi/EC_Electronics-and-Communications_Engineering.pdf
Next, would be to chalk out a proper study plan. What am I going to study today and for how many hours? Such preparations should be done beforehand.
Also, please buy some guides that contain the past year questions. I would also like to direct your attention to this Careers360 article for some preparation tips:
