GATE Preparation

Before starting to talk about the preparation, let's first understand what GATE is. GATE means Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, has aptitude word in its name which itself tells what this exam is all about testing the aptitude of that student.
Understand one thing that you will have all the material available to you, books, notes, classes, online tutorials, question banks, previous year questions. Whatever is required to get a good rank in GATE probably you will be having all those contents with you and so as other students too. So the question come where it is decided who will excel or not? Who will get a good rank? What is that factor? What is that benchmark?
It's the attitude, the body language which is sit up straight, sit forward and away from that back of the chair, carrying yourself as though you are an efficient, effective, high-performing personality and saying yourself, “Let's get started and do the work and plunge in”. Once started, keep going until the job is finished.
Considering GATE as a big task for you, you can accomplish it by disciplining yourself to take just one step at a time and keeping the main goal in mind which is (rank, score, IIT, PSU or any other, but a well-defined and specified goal).
Now what are those steps? Steps are the everyday task which can be Topic, subtopics, the number of related questions.
