Brief About GATE 2023 Exam

GATE Exam 2023, will be by IIT Kanpur. IIT K will release official GATE 2023 notification in month of September, 2022 along with GATE Exam Date, GATE Eligibility, GATE Exam Pattern, and GATE Updated Syllabus.

The GATE 2023 will be held tentatively in the First week of February across various cities. GATE Exam is conducted at national level and roughly 9 Lakh candidates appear for this GATE Exam every year. A simple preparation strategy may not be sufficient, one needs to work smarter to crack GATE 2023 Exam. GATE Score carries a high weightage because all prominent institutes enrolling students, consider GATE Score for their admission process and same is applicable for PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) process. The GATE 2023 examination is also conducted outside India in countries like Nepal, Singapore, UAE etc. The GATE 2023 examination is a Computer Based Test (CBT).

Critical factors to be considered for getting success in a GATE 2023

What differentiates a person who aced a competitive exam from a person who failed?
In this article, we bring you a few critical factors which achievers have. It is important to note that competitive exams are different from regular college and school exams. Let us see why it is so before jumping into the critical factors.

Lesson one: In a competitive exam the benchmark is always other; preparation is relative.

Example:
Two men are walking through a forest. Suddenly, they see a tiger in the distance, running towards them. They turn and start running away. But then one of them stops, takes some running shoes from his bag, and starts putting them on.
“What are you doing?” says the other man. “Do you think you will run faster than the tiger with those?”
“I don’t have to run faster than the tiger,” he says. “I just have to run faster than you.”

Hence, instead of preparing anything and everything, your preparation should only be more than that of your competitors.

Lesson Two: Narrow your focus.

School and Higher education are to gather knowledge and wisdom; however, in the competitive exam preparation your focus shall narrow down to securing more marks (than others). Sometimes, it’s best to just mug up some figures and words without knowing the purpose – do it just to get an edge over others.

Previous year question papers and syllabus are the best resources for filtering out the important topics.

With the above fundamentals in mind, let’s look at the critical factors:

Start with full pace, be consistent:
Plan a daily, weekly and monthly target of the syllabus to be covered. Be consistent in meeting the targets in the desired timeframe.
Tip: You can be consistent only if you set realistic timelines and tasks; don’t overburden yourself. If you do not start with full energy and definitive timelines, in a few months you will be fatigued.

Practice makes you perfect:
Regular practice of the exam questions is a must. If the exam is descriptive, practice by writing answers as you write in exams. If the exam is based on MCQs, then practice Mock Tests. Do all practice in a time-bound manner. If the exams happen in a computerized environment, go for online mocks.

Eat that frog:
“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it First Thing in the Morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the BIGGEST one first.” — Mark Twain.
Author Mark Twain, famously said that if you eat a live frog early in the day, you can go through the rest of the day knowing the worst is behind you. The frog is like your worst/most difficult task, and you should do it first thing in the morning. Do the tougher task early in the day when your mind is fresh and energy level is high.

Be confident:
Two aspects here:
Firstly be confident in yourself. You will go through cycles of crests and troughs in confidence while preparing, but don’t be overwhelmed by such emotions.
Secondly, be confident in your knowledge. You may not know everything, but be thorough in whatever you read.

Be accurate before being fast:
There can be nothing worse than getting an easy problem wrong, which others get right, just because you made a silly mistake while being too fast. Students try to be quick while solving problems, resulting in low accuracy during mock exams and hence feel demotivated. Remember, always focus on accuracy first, with due practice your speed automatically increases. Shift your focus on increasing speed after you have achieved consistently high accuracy(80% and above).

Smart work is the Key:
Just studying everything does not help. Study what is most required. Hard work without smartwork reduces efficiency, gives lesser output. Just studying everything without practising is a total waste. Students think of completing syllabus before writing mocks. This leads to the inability to judge your level of preparedness.

Plan Strategically:
It is significant for you to customize your study plan as per the exam, chalk out the important topics for the respective exam, topics with higher weightage, etc. and focus more on them. Remember, always have the competitors in mind. Also, understand your strengths and weaknesses, polish your strengths and work on weaknesses.

Join a test series :
Writing mocks is the single most important element to achieve success. It is well known that top rank holders appear for a huge number of mocks and analyze their progress. You can easily get all India mock test series at GATEFLIX at affordable prices. Testing yourself against other test takers all over India, gives you the most realistic picture of where you stand.

Synchronise yourself:
Once you know the time of the exam, make sure to cultivate a habit of writing mocks at that time interval. It takes about over 21 days to form a new habit. Don’t be accustomed to habits like sleeping or smoking in that time frame.

Having a Right Peer Group:
Studying with peers can help you identify your mistakes in knowledge and strategy. Being with a good peer group leads to healthy competition. Be friends with people who have the same goal as you and are better than you.
Always remember, “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room”.

Read Newspapers:
Read the newspaper daily. Irrespective of the exam you are preparing for, it will help you in developing knowledge, reading habits and vocabulary. Reading for an hour daily is advisable, with special focus on 5 pages which are front page, editorials, business, international and sports.

Invest and Commit:
Invest in good courses available online/offline. Once you invest your money, it makes you more determined. You should invest in books, notes, test papers, etc.

Stay physically and mentally fit:
A healthy body and a healthy mind will keep you stress-free. Find time for your hobbies and take regular breaks to stay relaxed. Don’t give up your sleep for studying. You may take a talk or workout regularly, whatever keeps calming.

Last but not least, don’t be scared of the competition, you need only one seat.

beneficial for PSU jobs.

GATE Exam aims at rigorous testing of the students’ concepts building and how much they are conceptual sounds in engineering with management skills after graduating. That is why in Gate exam engineering subjects are covering 70% weightage while Aptitude and Maths are covering 15% each
respectively.

For preparing GATE Examination, one should not get frightened, all he needs to have is advanced planning for preparation and self-confidence. If one should follow his/her plan very perfectly, then no one will stop him/her to get highest rank in GATE Exam.

By following some of the tips and strategy, one can prepare his/her own schedule and work accordingly. So, following are some of the tips one can use for GATE Exam Preparation:

1) Start as early as possible: By beginning the preparation process early, you will be able to plan your studies and check for the materials which you’ll be needed to study. Just by starting the preparation before time, you have won half of the war. This will ensure, that you have get enough
time to strategize and to study the various concepts and topics present in the syllabus. Ensure that no day is wasted out and each and every second is used by its fullest, parallel prioritizing your health and sleep.

2) Get thorough with the Syllabus and Exam Pattern: It is very necessary to go through the Exam Syllabus and Pattern, as your preparation planning will be fully based on these two things. A good understanding of the exam pattern will give an idea about how to go ahead on the path of GATE Exam preparation. It is very essential to know the exam pattern, since GATE has many types of questions and also consists of compulsory sections. The knowledge of the exam pattern will give you a good clarity to the candidates, on how to prepare for GATE 2023.

3) Note the weightage of your strong subjects: Knowledge about the topic distribution in the question paper is a good strategy to be adapted during GATE exam preparation purposes. You can go through the previous year’s question papers to see how the topics and concepts were divided for the examination. By getting a rough idea of the weightage, you can concentrate on those topics which seem to have more questions and distribution more marks in the question paper. Knowing topic-wise distribution is a great way to start your preparation for the examination.

4) Build a Concrete Study Plan: After get familiar with the Exam Pattern and Weightage, it’s time to prepare a thorough study plan. By preparing a study plan, you will be able to equally give your time to an allotted chapter or topic while squeezing in time for mock tests, sample paper practice and also some rest. The following points can be remembered while preparing the study plan:

  • Set targets, on daily – weekly and monthly basis.
  • Remember to evenly divide topics into difficult, moderate and easy sections.
  • Schedule your topics in a way that it doesn’t look too repetitive.
  • Give more importance to the topics which have the highest weightage and possibilities of being asked in the exam.
  • Make sure you solve enough mock tests and sample papers and also keep a track of all your score checking your graph.
  • Break time and its duration should be slotted in a way that you remain fresh even during long study hours.
  • Similarly, the following points should be avoided while the study plan is being prepared
  • Do not overcrowd a single slot with too many tough or difficult topics, either way round, take only a couple at a time.
  • Do not forget to arrange revision time after finishing every single chapter.
  • Do not follow anyone else’s schedule. Make your own study plan as it shall fit best to your taste and help you in a better way.

5) Usage of Reference Books is necessary: A lot of books are often named for references by previous year toppers, which would help in GATE preparation. While the textbooks can be used for studying, it is recommended that extra books should also be looked into to give that extra boost and make your concepts strong.

6) Focus on Engineering Mathematics and Aptitude Test: If prepared well, you can score well in these two compulsory sections of GATE paper. Since these two sections are said to constitute of basic topics, you can prepare well and raise your scores. While Mathematics can be studied along the lines of Engineering, the section of general aptitude can be prepared through newspapers and the past papers of other competitive exams such as CAT and more.

7) Revision is the Main Keyword: The most important part of the preparation for GATE Exam 2023, is to do revision on often basis. One should be not under any impression that once the whole syllabus would be complete; revision will be done. It’s completely wrong, one should do revision
after studying any topics or concepts or subjects, so as not to forget what was learned. The revision will aid in the understanding of the topics or concepts and make you more knowledgeable. During revision, it is also advisable to make notes which you can refer later at time of examination. Also, solve last 20 years’ paper and check with solutions to avoid small mistakes. Doing this, contributes majorly in your preparation.

Here are some more tips which can be followed to prepare for GATE 2023:

  • Prepare notes in your words after completing each chapter or subjects. Do practice with maximum number of questions as possible on given topic or subjects which will make you perfect. This habits certainly strengthens of your preparations.
  • Analyse your preparation. After completing every mock test or solving sample papers, it is important to check and try to correct all of the wrong answers marked by you. This will ensure that you will not wrongly answer the same question next time.
  • It is important to take care of your health. Make sure to eat healthy food and to get enough sleep. Lack of sleep will just make it hard for you to study.
  • Do not give up on co-curricular activities. It is important to indulge in things other than studies for a while to refresh the mind.

Please find a comprehensive GATE Study Plan for your GATE exam 2021 preparation. The number of hours considered in this planner is 3 hours per day (on an average). You can adjust number of hours as per your convenience. For instance, if you see the Master planner below, you will find we need approx. 220-250 hours for completing Stage-I. So if we study 3 hours, on an average, for 90 days = 270 hours, we can easily cover what’s given in the document.

Note: This plan is designed in consideration with students who have got top 100 ranks in GATE or any national level exam in the past few years

A similar plan is followed by many exam toppers and is highly recommended by most of The top faculties of the country. You will realize while going through it that a lot of research is gone In to make it helpful to you.

The following document contains :

  • Master plan
  • Flow of a subject which should be followed
  • How to make notes
  • How to do Test Analysis
  • How to do revision
  • Subject wise( topic wise) time devotion plan

2. Flow of Studies for Any subject:

  1. Notes
  2. GATE que for past 10 years topic wise
  3. Topic wise test on aspiration.ai
  4. Subject tests on aspiration.ai
  5. Extra practice que + revision of subject

3.How to Make Notes:

  • If you attend lectures of any faculty through GATEFLIX then you can easily make notes. If you haven’t done so, go to online videos to do so. You may also go to Youtube:- Khan academy, Nptel or the latest and most popular are Gateflix videos.
  • Make notes neatly as they will be very very useful while revision in the last 30 days. Use 3 colour pen to indicate important, very important and very very important concepts.
  • Make a separate handbook for formulas. In exams 40% questions are direct formula based or implied formula based. Problem with students is that they tend to mix up formula. If you have this handbook of formula ready and have revised the things at least 2 times , I can guarantee you the 40 % marks.
  • Don’t Xerox someone’s notes because the moment you write yourself then you can memorize the concept for a longer duration.
  • Leave one page Space after 2/3 pages or after every major chapter. This is to ensure that if you come across any vital formula or Information or short trick while referring tests or reference book later then you may place That information in these spaces.

4.How to do a Test Analysis:

  • Any test( Online or offline) need to taken in time frame.There is No point in taking the test without a time Limit.
  • Don’t take any test without revision of Notes of the syllabus covered in the test. It will be a wastage if You just randomly take a test.
  • Once the test time is over, don’t jump to answer Solution . Check the answer key and get To Know your score.
  • Now follow a 3 stage process .

Stage 1: Go to the right ones and check whether you were confident of answering that question . If the answer is “yes” check the solution given in order to see which method was better( yours or the given in Book or online portal ). Adopt the best you like.

Stage 2: Go to questions which you got wrong. Try to fight with the question that why you got it wrong without looking at the solution yet. Try 3 or 4 times by re-reading the question or even refer notes. Maximum time it’s a silly mistake. These silly Mistakes can’t be zeroed but can be reduced by practicing more .Refer notes again if needed. In case you are still not able to click after a lot of Slumber, try to open the solution and check your mistake. If it was a new concept to you, add in the void space you have kept in your notes. This will help to solve similar question again.

Stage 3: Now the turn of questions which are unattempted.This could be due to

  1. Not knowing The concept or due to lack of time. If it was conceptual ignorance , go to your faculty ( many online live class teachers are available , In case you don’t have one)and learn the concept.
  2. It was a lack of time issue try now and solve it. If you are taking a lot of Time try to memorize few steps so that if it appears in exam you will be able to do it fast. Other students might leave such question in exam , But you will probably dare to attempt such and score more.
  • The key to successs in any entrance exam is solve More , analyse more. In each subject you should Solve almost 1000+ questions including past year Actual Exam questions, topic wise test, subject test and mock tests.

5. How To do Revision:

  • Well this is dependent on the way you have prepared notes and how effectively have you done the Test Analysis.
  • Go through the whole cycle again in this revision phase like NOTES >- GATE QUESTIONS >- Topic test >- Subject Test >- Extra questions (if any ).
  • While Revising, don’t solve Each and every question from notes or tests. Try To randomly pick 20 questions from different pages or test( purely random) . If you are able to recall the logic of 16+ then you are good to go ahead. If you are Not able to solve more than 10 questions then it’s a re revision time. Follow step 2.
  • Try to have a bird eye view and See topics on which questions Are asked again and Again. Star mark them for making revision 2 and revision 3 effective.

6.SUBJECT WISE PLAN:

Below given is a detailed execution of the GATE study plan which carries subject wise in-depth action plan. In this artificial intelligence of GATE Study Planner, you will find:

  • No of days and hours required to complete particular topics of particular subjects,
  • No of times questions have been asked in GATE Exam for the last 10 years with the weightage of those questions.
