  • First step towards preparing for any exam is
    Go through the official syllabus
    See previous year questions
    This will give you an idea about subjects you have to study and what kind & level of questions are asked in exam.
    Next most of you may have a doubt
    Coaching or No Coaching
    This depends on you. What i mean by this is that if you have your basics cleared, there is no need to join coaching. Sharpen your concepts by studying weak areas form standard text books.
    What if basics aren’t cleared ?
    Then you have two options. First, use either NPTEL or other top institutions free video lectures . Secondly, join a good coaching. But even if you join coaching for some subjects like computer networks, computer organizations etc you should read standard books.
    Which books to follow ?
    How to prepare?
    If you have already studied a subject for semester exam or you have a rough idea about that subject, then look at previous year questions. Why? This will give you an idea about what is asked in GATE CS paper and you can filter out important concepts from exam point of view. After this study some topics from standard text books and then use below sites for question practice and revision
    GeeksforGeeks | A computer science portal for geeks
    GATE Overflow
    Unacademy - India's largest learning platform
    If you are unable to understand any concept you can search that topic on Youtube.
    Join a test series or not?
    Joining a test series is extremely important. Why?
    Teaches you time management
    More practice
    Helps you find out weak areas
    But be careful as many of the test series have errors.

  • In GATE CSE preparation there are so many topics you want to study.
    GATE CS 2018-19 Syllabus
    Section1: Engineering Mathematics
    Section 2: Digital Logic
    Section 3: Computer Organization and Architecture
    Section 4: Programming and Data Structures 
    Section 5: Algorithms 
    Section 6: Theory of Computation 
    Section 7: Compiler Design
    Section 8: Operating System 
    Section 9: Databases
    Section 10: Computer Networks 

    each section is containing several marks.
    between 2 to 20 marks

    Important Guidelines to Follow During Preparation:

    You are the best person to decide what works for you. So chart your own preparation plan and schedule in a way that suits your style.

    Keep a Handbook containing important formulae for ready reference. This handbook can be pretty useful during the last days before the exam as a quick reckoner for calculations.

    Also make it a habit to take short notes on all topics that you have been studying. These will be pretty useful when you need to do quick revision during the last days leading up to the exam

    Make sure you give Mathematics and General Aptitude equal weight. Apart from contributing 15 % each to the total marks, the sections are scoring. So, if you score well in these two sections it can push up your overall GATE score.

  • Learn what is included in the GATE syllabus - It is important that you know what the GATE syllabus for CS is before starting your preparation for GATE. It will help to know the topics that will feature in the entrance exam. Once you have gone through the syllabus of GATE, break it down in smaller segments to be tackled one at a time. Also, indexing the topics according to their difficulty level will make things easier, especially revision.

    Practise sample papers: Solving sample papers of GATE will help you in the following ways:

    Familiarize you with the question paper pattern of GATE

    Provide details about ype of questions asked

    Teach you time management and accuracy

    Help you prepare an effective exam strategy

    Along with practising sample papers, the candidate may also chip in previous years GATE question papers. It will help the candidate get a general idea what the current trend is and also how the question pattern has evolved over the years.

    Take Mock Tests: Mock tests are simulations of the real exam and are a great way to approach the entrance exam. Through GATE mock tests, candidates get to learn such things as time management, handling exam pressure, and deciding which questions to tackle first and which to keep for later.
