Important Tips
So, tips for the students is that , Remember, ” Analysis leads to the paralysis“. It means stop doing more analysis, you should do study. Focus on the syllabus completion. Prepare every subject thoroughly.
● Syllabus Completion :- The syllabus is vast so manage your time well and try to complete the syllabus with rigorous revision before 2 month of the exam. At the last 2 month solve the mock tests, and analyze your stronger part and weaker part.
● Revision :- Revision is very important, if you does not revise, then you will not be able to crack the exam. Do maximum revision, in order to remember your studies.
● Focus only on studies :- Understand this thing, you can’t really predict the GATE Paper. Its not IISc who is setting the paper only. Its the organising institute.
All IITs contribute in setting the GATE paper. So don’t waste time in predicting the kind of questions GATE will ask. Never analyze the weightage trend. Try to be an expert in all the subjects. Allot 75% of your time in solving problems, rest is for theory and revision.
So, Remember, it’s not the familiarity of the past that defines us, but our ability to rise above the challenges of the present. Aspirants should approach GATE 2024 armed not only with the knowledge garnered from dedicated preparation but also with the flexible mindset to navigate unforeseen twists and turns.
