GATE Preparation

Here are some important books for preparing the GATE Computer Science Engineering paper:
"Computer organisation and Design" by David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy
"Operating System Concepts" by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter B. Galvin, and Greg Gagne
"Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein
"Database System Concepts" by Abraham Silberschatz, Henry F. Korth, and S. Sudarshan
"Computer Networks" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and David J. Wetherall
"Digital Logic and Computer Design" by M. Morris Mano
"Compiler Design" by Alfred V. Aho, Monica S. Lam, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman
"Theory of Computation" by Michael Sipser
"Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach" by Roger S. Pressman
"Computer Graphics with OpenGL" by Donald Earn and M. Pauline Baker. It's important to note that these are just a few recommendations and should be used as supplementary material along with other resources such as previous years' question papers, online tutorials, and practice tests.

Here are some tips that may help you stay confident while facing exams:
Prepare well make sure you have covered all the syllabus and practice sample papers or past year question papers. Get enough sleep as Adequate sleep helps in retaining information and reducing stress. Identify stress triggers and practice stress-management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga. Keep track of exam dates, and important topics, and make a revision plan. Focus on your strengths, and try to turn negative thoughts into positive ones. Take regular breaks to avoid burnout and refresh your mind. Talk to friends, family, or a teacher/mentor if you need support or have any concerns. Remember, confidence comes from preparation, so stay focused and positive, and you'll do your best on exam day.

I hope this will help you.

It is recommended to begin the study for this exam as early as possible because it will provide you enough time to understand the topics and revise regularly. The best time to start preparing for the GATE exam is in your college. You can start in your 2nd year of engineering. Keep following GATE preparation time table until you complete your entire syllabus for each section of the exam. Experts suggest that candidates should at least give 4-5 hours daily for their studies, so candidates must keep this in mind.
It is important to understand the GATE syllabus and exam pattern before starting preparation. In the initial days of preparation, students can understand the syllabus and do frequent revisions. After a few months of light studies, students should be more focused on GATE preparation, tentatively starting in October 2023. Also, new topics can be studied thoroughly, and old ones can be revised every day. It is advised to the students to focus their last month of preparation on revision.
