Ravi Kiran Das
I am Ravi Kiran Das a Chemical Engineering alumnus of NIT Rourkela, the batch of 2017. I am currently working at Vedanta Limited. I have secured AIR 81 in GATE 21.
Taking out time from my busy schedule was a tough job, I have a job where I need to go in shifts and have to take time accordingly for preparation despite having uneven sleeping and eating patterns. I used to give an average of 2 hours daily for my preparation and have focused initially on clearing my concepts. GATE is not a tough exam rather is a very easy and basic exam where one need not remember formulae but the basis of the subject they are appearing for. To be honest, I started my preparation in mid-September, though it was my 5th attempt and was very familiar with the pattern, I made my own strategy and as previously mentioned had cleared concepts till December end. I started giving mocks ( EII being a nice platform for mocks) at starting of January and had given a maximum of 8-10 mocks where I secured 60-65 marks on an average, though that didn't break my confidence as I was well aware of the exam.
One caveat that I would like to give is GATE unlike CAT has dynamic options of getting into a PSU, an IIT/NIT for M Tech of NITIE for PGDIE, try to follow last year question and be thorough with your concepts and try to clear it within 2-3 years of undergrad pass out as the number of options reduces with subsequent years

1) Make a schedule to cover your syllabus till November in any event. Attempt to cover greatest weightage subjects appropriately and address your doubts.
2) Solve full-length mock tests after you have covered practically 80% of the prospectus and take them seriously.
3) Don't lose trust in the event that you get low scores in the mock tests as they will simply assist you with improving.
4) Fight till the end as just the exam day score matters.
Some Pointers:
1) Be an early bird, start your preparation early
2) Have all concepts clear, try to solve numerous questions.
3) Have a Positive mentality and battle till the end.
All the best!
