How do I prepare for GATE 2018 (ECE) without coaching? If I start now can I complete everything?

“It’s never too late to start”.
Preparing for Gate is almost 6–9 Month job. One can Easily fetch a good rank in this Tenure. The most Important thing while Preparing for any Competitive Exam is that you must follow your Schedule on daily basis.Now coming to  point as i am too preparing for Gate (2018) EC. I have not joined any coaching Institute yet and nor in mood to join. So here i am going to share some of the points which i usually follows:
  • Refer to Only standard Books:
Gate exam basically focus on your Concepts and basics. They only test that How much you are aware about the Concepts and Basics. So for it Standard Books play a significant role. Follow Standard books for Each subject. And try to Understand the Concepts instead of learning them. Another Advantage of using Standard Book is that you can find some good Numericals too.
  • Mark the Topics:
As if you have a less time for Preparation than simply try to read only those topics which are in Gate Syllabus. Don’t Even think to cover those topics too which are not in Gate Syllabus. I have found some peoples who usually try to cover all the topics irrespective of whether it is in syllabus or not. So just check the syllabus and than read according to that.
  • Make a Perfect Time Table:
Its very Important to have a perfect time table. In time table it should be clearly noted that which subject has to complete in how many days. For Example you can note that Analog Electronics have to cover in 18 days. EMFT Have to cover in 10 days. Meansyou have to assign days according to the Weightage of subjects. Try to cover the Entire Syllabus with in 4–5 Months.
  • Revise Regularly:
To learn the things takes a lot of time but it only takes a few days to forget them. So its very Important to Revise all those Concepts which you have learned. In your Every Day schedule try to reserve at least 2–3 Hours for Revision. While revision try to solve those question which you could not solve first time or face difficulty somewhere. Revise your Concepts. And try to solve some questions.
  • Make Handwritten Notes:
Handwritten Notes always play a key role. It will surely help you when you will be revising any topic. When you are studying a new Concept than note the summery of it in your note book. So in this way you can Prepare Your own Notes. Which will be quite useful during Last times.
  • NPTEL Lectures:
Its available on Youtube and these are free of cost. If you find any difficulty on any topic you can watch the Video Lecture of it on NPTEL. These Lectures are Delivered by IIT Professors. And you can learn quite new things on it.
  • Join Test Series
Its very Important in order to Analyse your Performance. Test series helps you a lot. You will feel the real Environment like exam. After tests you can analyse that which topics you need to study again. You will learn some New Concepts. And over it all you will find that how much you are prepared before the D day.
  • Online Resources:
You can use some Online Resources too for your Preparation. You can give some free Mock Tests on different Coaching Websites. You can watch some videos on NPTEL if you find difficulty in any Topic. You can download some apps from Play store on which you can find some really good questions.
So in this way you can Prepare for Gate. These are some of the points which I think surely will help you.
