Guys this is it for Most Efficient way to prepare for GATE Exam. If you have any queries/questions. Feel free to ask them in the comments section below. And we will be glad to answer them for you.

Before Exam
---------------------
1. Understand that you cannot get 100 marks in GATE :) I think even 90 is a tough ask. Toppers answer around 85-90 marks (of course it depends on the paper's difficulty, but the general trend is this).

2. NEVER OMIT ANY subject. I find most students omit a subject based on the weightage. The problem with this approach is often it happens that the subject you omit will have some really easy questions and the subject you prepare well has much harder problems to solve.

3. Self-study works, but I would suggest joining a coaching institute. I didn't have good faculty for some subjects in my under-graduate program and I was amazed at how well I can understand a concept when taught by a really competent faculty.

4. Maths will make a huge difference in your scores. Around 30 marks (including aptitude) is really easy to score. They are usually less difficult and direct than subject questions.

5. Solve as many previous year GATE problems as you can.

6. Learn concepts only from standard books that was prescribed for your under-graduate program. Notes, ppts may not give you complete knowledge.

7. Use standard books.

8. Solve 10–15 Questions Daily.

9. use standard books.

During Exam
--------------------
1. If you are not sure about an answer,LEAVE it. Negatives cost a lot.

2. Don't compare marks of previous years and answer questions. For ex., in CS 2012, for a score of 60, AIR was around #500, but in CS 2013, for a score of 60, AIR is around #50. You might end up scoring more negatives trying to match previous year's scores. This requires you to judge the paper's difficulty, which is possible only if you had prepared all subjects.

3. Having a strong clear mind throughout the exam is absolutely necessary. Question papers usually contain the most difficult questions up front to dent your confidence. Easy questions get mixed up at the later part. So keep moving on even if you had to leave 5 questions on the trot.

4. Solve aptitude section first.

5. Solve Easy Question first then shift to hard one.

Preparation Technique
------------------------------------
There is no ideal strategy for GATE preparation. As long as you cover all the topics, any strategy should work. I had around 4 months full time (from October mid) for preparation.

1. I allotted a week for each subject. This includes studying all the topics, going through standard book back questions, coaching institute material exercises. I had sorted the subjects into a 12 week schedule (3 months).

2. I had another month to revise everything, take Test Series and go through the GATE previous year questions. So in all it was a 4-month preparation.

3. If you are really talented and in constant touch with your subject basics, I would suggest a month preparation. If you are an above-average/average student, it is best to give 3-4 months preparation.

4. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Stop searching for preparation tips too much and start preparing!

5. Don’t panic.
