Preparation for GATE 2016

Four things are vital for GATE preparation.
1. Theory
2. Problem practice
3.Revision
4. Test
Let me take each point one by one.
1. Theory:
First of all, go through the syllabus.
Page on iitk.ac.in
Either go through made easy notes which are easily available at any Xerox shop in Delhi,
OR
Make your own note from NPTEL.
NPTEL PHASE 2 - Courses
I will recommend you the second option (making notes from nptel) as it will build your concepts in
a much better way.
2. Problem Practice.
I will highly recommend you the following books.

GATE - Mechanical & PI Engineering 2016 : 28 Years
GATE Solved Papers with thorough Explanations (English) 1st Edition
GATE Practice Book 2016: Mechanical Engineering Book
IES 2015 Mechanical Engineering Topicwise Objective Solved Paper II
IES 2015 Mechanical Engg Topicwise Objective Solved Paper-I
Solving the first two is must. After solving these two if you still have enough time, go through the last two books also. Also, if possible, buy made easy notes and go through the problems in it. There are a few very good questions in it.
3. Revision.
This is one of the most important thing for GATE because irrespective of your preparation, if you don't have proper revision strategy, you are going to fail for sure. I have seen many students working really hard throughout the year and ending up with a very low rank because of lack of revision.
So, here is the key.
Make short notes. Go through the important formulas at least 10 times.
In short notes include all formulas and key points. This book is going to help you a lot in making short notes. A Handbook for Mechanical Engineering Book
4. Test.
Make your strategy in such a way that the last 45 days are dedicated only for giving tests. You can join any one or preferably both of these test series.
a) MADE EASY TEST SERIES
b) ACE ACADEMY TEST SERIES
Try to give each and every test of these two test series.
Giving test is very important because it is going to increase your problem solving speed and accuracy.
If you want to avoid making silly mistakes in the exam, give as many test as possible.
BEST OF LUCK FOR GATE'16
