Hello,

Yes. It is definitely a good idea to start the preparation of GATE from 2nd year of B.Tech.

GATE is one of the toughest exams in India. It is the entrance exam for admissions in IITs, NITs and other engineering colleges for post graduation in various Engineering disciplines.

If you have been thorough through the syllabus of GATE, you will find that the syllabus of GATE includes all the subjects that one learns in under graduation. If you want to appear for GATE and if you are starting in your 2nd year then you are on the right path. Just study each and every subject thoroughly and don't skip any topic. You have 3 years for the examinations, so you will not face much difficulties at the time of examination. Try to grasp each and every topic, each and every concept of every subject.

Try making short notes which you can refer anytime. Start making your own notes in your own language. This will help you to understand and revise the topics clearly.

Best Wishes.
