Hello Aspirant,

In the NIT Surathkal GATE cutoff list, G1 and G2 refer to seat categories for admission through CCMT counselling.

G1: General pool of seats—includes all primary category seats like General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD.

G2: Additional or supernumerary seats—may include seats reserved for specific categories (e.g., industry-sponsored, foreign nationals, or special quotas) depending on the institute’s policy.

For most candidates applying through GATE via CCMT, G1 is the main seat category you should focus on.

All the best for your M.Tech admission process.

hello aspirant,

• Know the Exam Pattern
  GATE has three parts: General Aptitude (15 marks), Engineering Mathematics (10–13 marks), and your Core Subject (70+ marks). Knowing this helps you plan your focus.

• Check the Syllabus
  Download the latest GATE syllabus for your specific branch. Start with high-weightage topics and make sure you cover everything that’s important.

• Make a Study Plan
  Set a simple and realistic daily routine. Try to study 4–6 hours a day and set weekly targets. Always keep time for revision and solving mock tests.

• Use the Right Books
  Stick to standard textbooks and good GATE preparation materials like Made Easy or ACE. Don’t overload yourself with too many books—choose wisely and revise them well.

• Practice a Lot
  Solve previous years’ GATE papers to understand the question pattern. Practice topic-wise problems regularly and focus more on numerical-type questions.

• Take Mock Tests
  Join a test series and give mock exams regularly. After every test, check what went wrong and work on those weak areas. This helps improve speed and accuracy.

• Revise and Stay Calm
  Make a short notebook of formulas and key points. Revise it often. Also, take care of your health, sleep well, and don’t panic. Staying relaxed is just as important as studying.
  
  
  Start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can — every small step counts.
  All the very best for your exam preparation journey.
