You can opt for B.Tech in any branch you are interested in. If you want to join core companies then go for Mech, civil, EC, EE. If you don't want to go for core companies and rather want to pursue your M.Tech, then it depends upon your interest in which field you are interested. If you are interested in maths and coding, you can go for CSE IT. These are the options you can always go for. You can start preparation mid 2nd year or in third year. But early is best. So, 2nd year will give you sufficient time to solve problems. All the best.

If you are in your 2nd year, then you can join any good coaching centre in you area which is a good one. If you don't want to join any coaching centre, then you should watch the NPTEL videos which are very good from GATE point of view. The most important thing is practice previous year papers as much time as you can. It will make you solving skills fast enough which is a major factor.

You can prepare for GATE either when you are in your 2nd year or in your 3rd year. You haven't specified the branch. So, I can't be specific. I can just say that practice from previous year papers and join any coaching institute of you can. If you can't it won't be a problem, if you have time Watch NPTEL lectures and you will be good to go. All the best. Just practice and practice.

Yes, you can appear for GATE more than twice. ECE us a good branch but their scope in India is less if you want a job after M.Tech or B.Tech. Usually, doing M.Tech in ECE is good than only B.Tech. Moreover after M.Tech many companies doors are automatically open for you. Also some PSU may give admission based on that and the score you achieved.
I hope it helps.

You can prepare for these branches in two ways:
1st you can join any institute like made easy or Ace. They are the good ones and they make the concepts clear. If you don't want to spend money in offline coaching then
2nd choice if you have ample amount of time you can always go for NPTEL and self Study. EC and EE are the most difficult branches from my 4 year of experience I am saying that. Always try to learn and practice previous year papers. Which will be very helpful.
I hope it helps.

You have ample amount of time for preparation. One thing I can suggest you is to start preparation early. CS is the easiest branch in terms of GATE. The questions asked are very direct if you know the concepts. There are three options in which you can prepare. First. You can join any offline coaching institute for the preparation and they will guide you. Second. One of the best one. You can join Ravindrababu Ravula course where his strategy is mind blowing. He is a very good instructor. He charges some fees but it's almost half to that of offline.
3rd is you can do self study but for that you have to start early. Practice by solving pr

Hi Faizan,There nothing like a particular CGPA to qualify GATE exam. GATE itself is an exam, which you need to clear with good scores. If you want to take admission in IIT Madras, then work hard to score good rank under 1000. Also, try to maintain a percentage of 65% throughout the semesters. Although, you should score more and more marks in semesters. It will give a positive impression of your on the interviewers. Best of luck.

Go for your self-study, since the syllabus is only your academics with some verbal aptitude and English. Just pick the right book for your practice, like made easy publication. Then, go for some mock test in the coaching site like GATE forum, then register for the mock test and for test series. This will help you in preparation and practice, and also you can track your timing for a given question. Just do hard work and focus and concentrate on your studies. Practice some previous papers of 3-4 years. Best of luck. For any further query please feel free to ask.
