hello sir,
Now iam study in B.TECH first year “electrical” branch in RITE COLLEGE, BHUBANESWAR.
My aim to be an good engineer.Ihave intrested to qualifying the gate exam.How can i prepair it self to qualify this exam?? how much percentage of mark reqired for this exam??
please sir give me a soiution. there fore ishall be grate ful to you.
thanku sir.
Hello surya,
It is really a great decision that you want to start your GATE exam preparation from 1st year of engineering.
If you just read 2 hours daily from now and we get a rough idea about your study hours than you have nearly 2000 hours study till GATE exam. Means 200 hours for each subject if there are 10 subjects in your GATE paper.
First understand GATE exam nature, syllabus, paper pattern, make some plan etc during this period study mathematics and Aptitude.
GATE Reference Books : http://www.gate2016.info/gate-2016-books/
Than start studying each subject politely you have much time for GATE exam preparation. You may read this blog during your free time. Here we have written so many posts related to GATE/IES/PSUs exam information and preparation. It will surely help you in your preparation.
There is no percentage requirement to attend this exam but if you want to use this GATE exam score for M Tech or PSU than you have to score atleast 60% in your B Tech course and as much as possible marks in GATE.

Hello sir
I am taking IES coaching and also I want to get good rank in gate but it is very hard for me to manage coaching classes and gate preparation. I want suggestion how I will get good rank in gate and how I have to prepare for exam within 3 months
Hello Aishwarya,
First of all you need to decide what you want to do prepare for ? IES or GATE or both IES & GATE ?
Remember it is not easy to prepare both exams simultaneously. You have to plan properly for this. Remember it’s not going to be easy.
You must have heard about many candidates who prepare for both IES as well as GATE. Surely they succeed. But they really work hard for this.
Now how to prepare :
First if you really want to prepare for both then you have to concentrate now totally on GATE. Because it’s just 3 months.
But so far you must have completed atleast once the whole technical syllabus of IES from IES objective papers point of view. Because after GATE exam only 4-5 months will remain for IES.
In those 4-5 months you have to prepare GS and English as well as all subjects from Subjective papers point of view for IES.
This is the strategy which is generally GATE & IES toppers adopt. This is what I can suggest you right now.

Hello eric,
Its totally depends on your abilities.
If you prepare this year for IIT JEE along with your engineering study(most probably) there are less chances that you would get a good rank in IIT JEE exam bcz of your engineering study and college.
If any how you get a good rank in IIT JEE then you would get admission in first year of engineering in IIT. So here you would waste your 2 years of life.
If you can prepare well for exams like GATE, CAT along with your engineering you can achieve what you want to achieve. Like getting admission into top most colleges of India.
Rest final decision depends on you.

hello sir, i am a 2012 btech pass out in electrical engineering..i want to prepare for gate exams this year, will this be a good idea and a right time to prepare my GATE after 3 years of my passing. will this year gap be a hurdle in my interviews and future exposures. currently i am 26yrs old and i have no work experience in this year gap…I am feeling very much confident about this,that i can secure good,as during my btech years i had secured 24 and 24.50 marks in my attempts of 2011 and 2012 gate exams,with some light preparations… inpite of being confident i am much confused as the risk factor of age and year gap is much high. .. my mail id – abhifor102@gmail.com.
expecting your guidance
Thank you.
Hello abhishek,
Yes age factor is really really important in your case. So you must first check all the PSUs for which you can apply.
PSUs through GATE 2016 Application : http://www.gate2016.info/psus-2016-application/
Year gap will not be an issue if you use them for something good. Either for technical work or for non technical work. It doesn’t matter. Before starting GATE 2016 preparation you must first check these three things after checking age factor :
(1) Latest GATE syllabus & paper pattern : http://www.gate2016.info/gate-2016-pattern-syllabus/
(2) Previous years papers : http://www.gate2016.info/gate-previous-year-papers/
(3) PSUs Cut-off marks : http://www.gate2016.info/psus-cut-off-marks/
or Colleges cut off marks if you want to do M Tech.
After checking GATE 2016 Syllabus, paper Pattern, Level of Question form previous years papers and PSUs cut offs / Colleges cut offs. You think you can do it then you must start your preparation for GATE 2016 right now.

Hello sir , I want to ask whether gate paper is set according to syallabus or with any other criteria , I mean they will nt ask out of syallabus question that is, only things concepts ,topics ,mentioned in the syallabus uploaded for electrical branch will b used to set paper for gate
And my 2nd question is tips for how to execute this gate with good marks.gate ,whether i have to preapere topics mentioned in the syallabus one by one or go deep nd study everything ..
Hello shahran,
Actually GATE syllabus is a compact form of what you have studied in your four year of engineering.
So there are many topics which are actually a whole chapter. So, while analyzing GATE syllabus analyse precisely. It may disappoint you in GATE 2016 exam if you did any mistake in this work. You can take help of previous years papers in this analysis. Check each question one by one and note don its corresponding chapter and subject or you may buy previous years solved papers topic wise.

Hello sir,
Person having BE degree from VTU n M.tech from IIT are also called as IIT engineer r only for people having BE degree from IIT itself..?
Hello Rajan,
B Tech from IIT or M Tech from IIT, for this you have to take admission to IIT. So, obviously you are an IITian.
