Start Preparing for the GATE


Start  Preparing For The GATE
GATE ( Graduate Aptitude Test In Engineering ) is an important, all India  examination for graduate engineers.  The GATE score is used for admissions to post-graduate engineering programmes (M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in the best engineering colleges and institutes in the country ( IITs, IISc, NITs,…) with financial assistance provided by  MHRD and other Government agencies. Also some prestigious public sector units, like BARC, selects engineers for employment based on the performance in GATE.
There is tight competition for seat to Master’s degree courses, so you have to prepare well for the GATE examination.  The exam tests the basic knowledge in your subject of engineering degree course. Problems are based on the fundamentals and basics of the subjects. So first, be thorough with fundamentals which are specified in GATE Syllabus. It will be good if you prepare short notes for each subjects. The second step is to practice. Solve as many problems you can, like previous year’s question papers, mock test papers and other test papers. This will also help in time management and to understand the format of the question paper. Surely doubt arises when you solve questions, share it with your friends & teachers. Also help your friends in problem solving. Best wishes…
