Job Opportunities After GATE Exam

IIT wise Cut off

GATE exam gained much popularity after various public-sector units (PSUs) signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with IITs for recruitment through GATE Exam. So, clearing GATE Exam can also help you get direct government sector jobs. The most lucrative aspects of PSU jobs are:

  • High pay packages (above Rs50,000 per month)
  • Work-life balance
  • Extra benefits such as oil or electricity at a subsidised rate
  • Support for higher education such as MBA

The recruitment procedure for PSU is a valid GATE Exam score of the current year and then a round of Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). The weightage given to GATE Exam score is between 75% to 85%. Different PSUs that recruit through GATE Exam include PGCIL, NTPC, NHPC, IOCL, BHEL, etc.

In a recent interaction with some students, it was found that PSU recruitment is one of the most important reasons why students appear in GATE Exam. As stated by the students, the majority of them aim to get shortlisted for the recruitment done by different PSUs. However, if they got selected for M.Tech, they take admissions to the programme and start preparing for the GATE Exam to be conducted next year. The only motive behind it is to get selected for the PSUs.

Why there is so much stress on getting selected for the PSUs? The major reasons behind doing a job in PSU contain a very good salary, job stability, benefits other than salary, and good social stature. In addition to that, candidates also focus on various exams conducted by different PSUs other than GATE Exam. These exams include the other PSU recruitment exams also like ISRO, DRDO, BARC, etc. with GATE Exam.

GATE Study Planner Mechanical Engineering(ME)

Introduction

Hi Warriors,

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

1.Master Plan

Stage – I Stage – II Stage – III Stage – IV Stage – V
Notes + Gate Ques + Topic Test + Subject Test GA = 27 hrs

EM = 46 hrs

FM = 69 hrs

SOM = 68 hrs

 

Thermo = 79 hrs

Manufacturing = 77 hrs

TOM = 64 hrs

MD = 40 hrs

HT = 52 hrs

IE = 59 hrs

3 FLT 3 FLT

Revise all 8 Subjects = 130 hrs Revise all Subjects = 120 hrs Revision 2 Revision 3
Total Hours 254 357 286 125 140

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.
