ALL THE BEST
should I take unacademy or byjus or youtube self study for gate cs exam 2024 . pls elaborate
Hello Student,
Yes, you can definately take unacademy or byjus for your GATE 2024 preparation because these are the best platforms for preparation of the GATE.
But at Byjus and unacademy you have to pay for the Preparation kit but that is worth for that preparation.
But if you want free Video lectures for GATE preparation you can check out the below Youtube Channel for the Self Study of the GATE preparation because according to my opinion the channels are best for GATE preparation.
- Knowledge Gate
- Gajendra Purohit
- Gate Smashers
I hope you issue is resolved
