Preparation for GATE 2015

Graduate Aptitude Test Examination (GATE) is an All India Level Test for the undergraduate subjects of engineering and science. Students have a lot of fear and wrong myths about GATE exam. Generally the faces of the students are dried down of hearing the name of GATE. But in actual the fear is useless. Do you want to know why they are useless! Lets see.

1. Exam is not at all tough in spite of it being an All India Level Test. The questions of GATE are fully conceptual. Once you have understood the concepts of each topic, you will definitely be able to solve the questions.

2. This is a very wrong notion that attending maximum number of questions will help you score high. This is so because GATE questions have negative marks too on wrong answers. Attend only those questions about which you confident enough. Scoring about 70 % ile + is enough to let you be qualified.

3.     No need to study all the subjects and topics of graduation. GATE has a syllabus for each department. Refer to it first, though it is fully based on graduation courses, but all subjects and all topics are not included. So no need to refer the subjects and topics which are not in syllabus and waste your time. Even some of the subjects and topics which are included in the syllabus are not important. For that refer to the previous ten years question paper of GATE, and note down the subjects and the topics from which no or very less questions are asked and those from which maximum questions are asked and study them only.
