GATE exam Preparation procedure
▪ Understand the syllabus well.

▪ Plan your own strategy or follow your teacher/guide.

▪ Prepare a planned schedule of your study time table.

▪ Study according to the time table you prepared.

▪ Revising in-time.

Usual Way

Anil Sagar S 11
GATE Cracking Techniques:
Strategy 1: Understand the syllabus and decide which subject to study first
based on their weightage of marks.
1. Geotechnical Engineering – 13 - 15 Qualifying marks will be around 30.
2. Structural Engineering – 12 - 15
3. Environmental Engineering – 10 - 12
4. Water Resource Engineering– 13 - 14
Select minimum number of
5. Geomatics Engineering – 5
subjects sufficient for qualifying
6. Transportation Engineering – 11 -13
based on weightage of marks
7. General Aptitude - 15
8. Engineering Mathematics – 10
Then, Start concentrate only on
those subjects

Anil Sagar S 12
GATE Cracking Techniques
Strategy 2: If you want to read all subjects then know what not to read.

➢ Reading all subjects will be big task and its tedious, requires more
hard work.

So,

➢ Read the first 40% of the syllabus in all subjects thoroughly.

➢ Learn all the basic formulas in that subject and try to solve simple
problems.

➢ Know clearly what should not be read.

Anil Sagar S 13
GATE Cracking Techniques
Strategy 3: If you are maths and aptitude lover

Practice these topics:

Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)
Partial Differential Equation (PDE):
Matrix algebra; Systems of linear equations; Calculus;
Numerical methods - 15 marks

Quantitative and verbal aptitude - 10 marks

GT – 15 marks
Transportation Engg – 11marks
Water resource Engg – 13 marks
Anil Sagar S 14
GATE Cracking Techniques
Strategy 4: If you are familiar in all subjects (BEST WAY)
Practice these important topics in all subjects:
General Mathematics Geotechnical Engineering Structural Engineering
aptitude

Verbal Linear algebra Properties of soils System of forces

ability, PDE Effective stress Friction
Numerical ODE Permeability Deflection of beams
ability Consolidation & Compaction SFD & BMD
Shear strength of soil Properties of materilas
Earth pressure theories Stress & Strain
Shallow foundation and Bearing Methods of SA
capacity Trusses
Determinacy and indeterminacy
Design methods, Beam, columns
Steel, Joints
Anil Sagar S PERT & CPM 15
Environmental WR Engineering Transportation Geomatics
Engineering Engineering

Quality of water control Open channel flow Geometric design of Levelling

Treatment of water Flow through pipes highways Contouring

Design of sustainable channels

➢ 75 to 80% of marks are for numerical type questions

➢ 20 to 25% of marks are for theoretical questions
➢ Focus on short derivations, avoid lengthy problems

For you:

Then, What is the remedy?

Anil Sagar S 18
Remedy for forgettingness:
• Read for 50 minutes and take 10 minutes break
• What you study revise at the last on same day – revision 1
• What you study for whole week revise at the end of week one day –
revision 2
• What you have studied for whole month revise at the end of the month
– revision 3
• Carry, study and revision simultaneously.
• This is the best way to remember and not to forget.
• Practice the old question papers and solve similar kind of questions.
• Attend test series (If Possible)
