Hope you will get admission in your desired college.

Dear Student ,

You're in 2nd semester means now you're in 1st year . The Govt exams you are interested for have different syllabus .. but , yes .. some common subjects you can start preparing from your current academic year such as English , Aptitude , static GK etc, after your semester study hours ! But .. you must to be focused first that in which Govt exam you have kept in your 1st preference to crack .. based on your goal you can continue your preparation while studying in college .

GATE exam mainly taken for higher studies as well as for jobs in PSUs( most for B.Techs) .

and SSC CGL/ APSC  you can give after your graduation .

Hope you understand !

Hi,

There is no limit to preparation time period to score good marks in GATE exam.

It all depends on a candidates detemination, motivation and the zeal to clear the exam.

I would suggest you some tips to help you study better

Based on your GATE subject first download the syllabus

Go through the Syllabus

Prepare a detailed list of weightage for each topic

Prepare a proper learning and revision schedule

Solve related problems

Try solving PYQs and mock test papers.

If you are targetting GATE 2022 please prepare a 3 month schedule. If not you may start with small portions daily and save the last 3 months for revisions and tests.

Also go through the following strategy for GATE preparations

All the best

hi,

yes you can.

with 60 percent or 6.5 cgpa in your masters degree and a valid GATE score is enough for admission in ph.d.

if you are an exceptional candidate of iit with 8.0 cgpa and a valid GATE score then you can also apply for ph.d.

(this sometimes vary for different universities, so if you want to know about any particular university then comment)

Hi, the information that you have shared is incomplete. Which CET exam have you appeared for? Is 85 your percentile or your marks? If it is your marks you will most likely not get a college as you need to have marks in the range of 95-115. If it is a percentile you can surely get a good private college. If you still have doubts feel free to comment. Hope this helps.

Hello,

GATE or Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is a national level examination that tests student's knowledge and understanding of their under Graduate level subjects in Engineering and Science.

The most common option after qualifying GATE is to pursue M.E/M.Tech/Phd in NITs , IIITs, IITs and CFTIs. Selection of the candidates in any institute is done on the basis of their GATE scores.

Five specializations are very popular among the candidates and these are - Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, Civil and Mechanical Engineering.

The reason behind the popularity of these specializations is that they are believed to have better career prospects.

Other than these five specializations, Manufacturing Engineering has also gained prominence on account of more companies setting up high-end manufacturing bases in India.

Some most popular specializations are -

Computer Science Engineering

Electrical Engineering

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration)

Communication Technology

Power Systems

Power Electronics

Mechanical Engineering

Design Engineering

Manufacturing Engineering

Civil Engineering

Structural Engineering

Construction Engineering and Management

Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Engineering

For complete details about the cut offs for IITs after qualifying GATE, other options available and other very important information, kindly check out the link given below-

I hope you find the answer helpful.

Thank you.

Hello,

I hope you are doing fine, This is your first year you should focus on college life. There are many things to do in college, there are events, fest etc. Participate in those events and fest with full enthusiasm. If you are truly inclined towards gate you should go for it 2nd year onwards. Most of the students study only in 4th year and clear it. You should start 2nd year onwards to avoid extra burden in final year.

This is my personal view. It may differ from person to person but final choice lies with you

I hope you find this information helpful. I wish you all the best for your future.

Good Luck
