Gate 2016 Referenced Books

GATE 2016 ME Books

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination. Which is conducted every year by Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee). This exam is conducted for undergraduate students of engineering and science of various fields.
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) examination is conducted every year. In 2014 there were nearly 10 lakhs candidates who fill the application form of GATE. This exam is mainly for getting admission into higher all India ranking colleges of engineering and technology like IISc, IITs, NITs.
So this exam is one of the most reputed and competitive examination. Every year lakhs of candidates write this exam but very few 1 out of 600 make it to get admission into IISc or any one of seven IITs. Books that candidates read at their undergraduate level are of the great importance for getting good rank in GATE exam because GATE syllabus is based on syllabus of B. E. or B. Tech. at their undergraduate level. Here we are providing the list of books which will help you in your preparation.

Top 10 Mistakes Done By GATE Aspirants

1. Studied wrong / wrongly. Always prefer standard books. A little mistake can lower your GATE rank.

2. Not properly revised after a certain period of time. “Practice makes man perfect.” Revise what you
have studied time to time.

3. Loosing confidence after seeing the questions paper. Don’t worry question paper is also hard for all
others.

4. Your time management in exam was not so good as you thought. Do solve practice papers time to time with time management same as GATE exam.

5. Never prepared Mathematics and General Aptitude upto that level that I prepared Technical. Don’t forget Mathematics and General Aptitude. These subjects have 30% ratio of total marks.

6. Only prepared previous years papers. Previous years papers will help you to analysis GATE exam but will not sure your golden success. You have to do more study other than previous years papers.

7. Didn’t prepared all subjects because there was no time for those. Always prepare a time table then prepare. Being good in all subjects is always better than being master in only one subject.

8. Don’t feel restless and anxious before examination. Before exam day, take proper rest and food.

9. Fear of examination. Fear is obvious, accept it but don’t focus on it much, don’t let it affect your performance in exam.

10. Forgot Admit card or forgot calculator. It is little but general mistake. It happens because of exam pressure. To avoid this, prepare yourself a day before your exam.

“You need not to be perfect in exam. You need to do well as compare to other in exam.”

Is it necessary to join coaching for GATE 2016 ?

“How do I prepare for GATE 2016 without coaching? What should be my strategy to start preparing for GATE 2016 self ? You all must have this kind of questions in your mind. Below article will solve this puzzle of yours. Just take a look.”

First of all best wishes to whom who did very well in GATE 2015. Who will get good rank in GATE 2015 will surely get good college for higher education and those who want a job with PSU will surely get selected in PSUs but those who don’t get good rank in GATE 2015 don’t lose hope world hasn’t end here.
You have a great  opportunity again to make it possible this time with a very good GATE rank, it is GATE 2016. Start your preparation again this  time with Little more effort, little more concentrate, little more dedication, little more better analysis and little more hours with study. So, candidates who wish to prepare self make a proper plan for rest of the days and stick to that until GATE 2016 examination.
Those who are preparing self they need more  dedication and concentration because you are the mentor of yourself, you are the examiner of yourself. So beside an aspirant, beside a student you are  also playing a role of examiner of yourself.
Candidates who can not join any coaching or don’t want to join any coaching for GATE 2016 preparation must consider these points. If you can get guidance from any of your senior or any of your friend who have cleared GATE previously. If you can arrange some good coaching institute material.
Remember not a single institute is always good in all subjects but you can arrange a single good  study material as per your requirement by choosing from different-different coaching institutes. If you can manage someone who can guide you time to time then no need to join any coaching because coaching is for mainly save your time but many times it waste your time. If you are serious about GATE 2016 preparation and want to utilize your whole time and if you have studied well at your graduation level  then no need to join coaching just sit on chair and start preparation. You may join any or many test series for last time preparation. I have seen many GATE topper who just read standard book and make in GATE top 10 list.
Those who are preparing with any coaching institute they must Consider some points before joining  any online or off line coaching institute. Before choosing any online or offline coaching institute just look into few points as written below which will help you to select a correct institute for your preparation:

1- If we talk about any offline coaching institute then first thing is whether you want to join coaching
in your city or in other city. If you can join coaching out of your city if your family and all other conditions permits than consider all coaching institute which can help you to get good rank in GATE 2016. Living in your own city may help you in basic daily activities like food, cloths, travelling etc. So if you can prepare well at home then you must check any of good coaching institution available in
your city. If there is no any coaching as per your expectations then you can join coaching other than
your home city.

2- First of all get feedback from some students of a particular institute. You can choose as much as institute as much as you want for analyzing. Analyze experience of student about that particular institute, about their study techniques, study material, problem solving and explanation techniques and individually problem solving sessions like many students always can’t ask question is a full strength classes and they get no more benefits from joining any coaching institute it is like wasting your time while sitting in room like waiting room where you wait to end of the class time.

3- Select any coaching for your GATE 2016 preparation on the basis of your requirement and coaching institutes present performance. Do not choose any institute for study on the basis of how big  his coaching institute is famous. Many students go with big name and they got nothing much like
their name so before get admission in any institute for your GATE 2016 preparation choose any coaching institute wisely because after all it is about your career, your whole one year, your dedication and also about your family because many students are there whose family depend on  them or will be dependent very soon. So every decision of you depends upon many factors.

How to prepare for gate 2016 in 6 months ?

By Experts
“How to prepare for gate 2016 in 8/6/3 months ?? You all must have this kind of questions in your mind nowadays. Below article will solve this puzzle of yours. Just take a look.”
I am writing this post on July 2015 from here you have nearly 8 months for preparation of GATE 2016. Here I will tell you how to prepare for GATE in just 6 months or less. You must have heard that some candidate says that I studied for only 6 months or 3 months and get 3 digit rank in GATE. You must have thinking that, that  candidate is awesome. He is surely awesome but have you ever think what he/she did awesome with his/her study? Here I am going to throw light on such key points. I am writing these point keeping in mind that a candidate have just 6 months to prepare for GATE 2016.
Here, First I am writing some points which you must consider first. Don’t start study with reading standard books
You must have thinking that I always suggest you guys that always study using standard books. Here what I just wrote is different I said don’t start with standard books not don’t use standard books. Now I think you are understanding what I want to tell you.
If you start your study for GATE 2016 by reading standard books you would not go so far, just end up by completing a book of a single subject in this whole 6 month period because standard reference books contain 1000-2000 pages with lots of topics and information in it.
The syllabus of GATE is as large as your B E / B Tech complete course. So, Here you are going to complete that 4 year syllabus in just 6 months using lots of books, Guides and MCQ banks. Is it possible in just 6 months ? Think yourself.
You can’t even get all the information contain in a single standard book in these 6 months. So, Here
you have to change your approach.
Then what to do ?
Answer is right below.
First Complete GATE Syllabus Obviously if you are preparing for GATE 2016 you need to complete your whole GATE syllabus in just 6 months or earlier. So, If you start your preparation without any proper approach you will not be able to complete your whole GATE 2016 syllabus in just 6 months. There may be many reason for not being  complete your GATE 2016 syllabus in these 6months like you studied some topics in very deep while they were not much important from exam point of view, you spent lots of time on a single subject like your favorite one, din’t study regularly like study for 2 days all day and night and after that 10 days rest, studied topics which are less or not important from exam point of view.
So, Here your first preference must completing the whole GATE syllabus first. Obviously you have less time so you can’d go in depth of each topic and each subject. So study little bit of everything, little bit of each topic and each subject and finally little bit of the whole syllabus.
Does questions get repeated in GATE ?
This point is also worth considering while preparing for GATE 2016. Many would tell you no GATE
question doesn’t get repeated generally. Here I would like to tell you GATE question also get repeated but in different way. They will not ask the same question again but they will ask the question with same approach again. Like they asked a question, what is 1+1=?. Next time they will not ask the same question in the same way, they will ask like what is 2+3=?. Question may be different, values provided in the question may be different but approach of solving question will be almost same. GATE syllabus is huge to prepare in just 6 months but here is a secret, GATE paper mostly contain numerical problems and numericals are based on formulas and formulas are limited. So, this is a key point by using this you can even limit this GATE huge syllabus by using some techniques. How to prepare for GATE 2016 in 6 months ?
Again this post is specially designed for those candidates who want to prepare for GATE 2016 exam in just 6 months. Candidate preparing for GATE for 1/2/3/4 long years may follow this approach but will not be appropriate for those because they have huge time to prepare instead of just 6 months.

1. Start with previous years papers. Buy a book with previous 20-30 years solved papers. Solve each
and every question precisely. Not just solve but also understand and solve questions which are closely related to that particular question from standard books. Remember solving questions without understanding will not help you much.

2. After solving previous 20-30 years papers nicely you will have a good idea about what kind of questions they ask in exam and from which topic they ask the most or frequently. Now note down such all topics and do solve some more questions from standard books or you may refer some good MCQ books related to those topics. Remember don’t waste your time on hard topics because your every single minute count here. You have limited time just 6 months for GATE 2016 preparation.

3. Now its time to solve some mock tests. Arrange some previous mock tests from your friend or buy any mock test book from market and solve every question of the test precisely. Certainly you would not able to solve all the question of the test. This is not the point where you need to worry. Here you will get a good idea about in which area you are strong and in which area you are weak. Go through each question one by one, to which you were not able to solve. Solve them with the help of standard books, internet etc.. Study enough so that you can answer the similar kind of question next time easily, if it appears. Remember, Here again try to understand the basic of that particular topic not go in depth. We have limited time just 6 months to prepare. If you find a question hard to understand or
unlikely to be asked in exam, skip it. Mark it for later and move on. You can come back to these kind of questions later if time permits.

4. Repeat the same approach. keep solving as many paper as you can. It will increase your level of understand that what kind of question GATE office is going to ask in GATE 2016 exam and this  will also give you an idea that how you would handle such kind of questions in GATE 2016 exam. If   possible join some online test series of some reputed coaching institutes. It would be better to join multiple institutes test series if you can because you will face variety of question from different- different institutes. You will face different-different kind of questions for the same subject designed by different-different institutes master. It will also help you in you real time GATE 2016 exam because GATE exam is nowadays online computer based test(CBT).

5. Last but very important point besides understanding lots of things, reading lots of stuff, referring lots of books, joining lots of test series you need to remember these all things atleast till the GATE 2016 exam finish. So need to revise these all things time to time so always prepare a plan or time table which contain timely revision. Make a time table for a whole day, for a week, for a month and for next 6 months for GATE 2016. Stick to the time able. Must include time for revision in each time
table.
Summary
Do’s
1. Start preparation by solving previous 20-30 years papers. It will give you a good idea about what you have to prepare and what not to prepare. Because in this competitive world you need to be smart along with having knowledge.
2. First complete GATE whole syllabus as soon as possible. You are going to attend GATE 2016. So, You have to complete it completely before GATE 2016 examination. Examiner may ask question from any subject and also from any topic mentioned in GATE 2016 syllabus.
3. Solve previous 20-30 years papers precisely. Don’t just solve them, understand them. GATE question don’t get repeated but by solving previous years papers you are being familiarize with questions asked in GATE exam. So that you can prepare according to that now for GATE 2016.
4. Solve question which are closely related to previously asked questions. GATE question don’t get repeated but approach may get repeated. So solving related questions will surely increase your marks in GATE 2016 exam.
5. Join some good online mock tests and prepare for them nicely. As nowadays GATE exam is an online computer based test (CBT). So these online mock tests will prepare you to be familiarize with exam like environment and will also help you to improve your GATE 2016 preparation.
6. Make a proper time table as per your daily routine for a day, a week, a month and for 6 month period and stick to that. As you have less time to prepare, So you need a proper plan to complete your whole GATE 2016 syllabus within time limit of 6 months.
7. Always keep a place for revision in your time table. Revision is really-really important because you can’t remember all the things you have studied in last 6 months.
must check : PSUs through GATE 2016

Don’ts
1. Don’t start preparation by reading standard books. As you have less time to prepare, So you need be more focus on what you have to study first and what later. Its all about time management when
time is less.
2. Don’t just solve previous years papers. Just solving previous years papers will not help you much in GATE 2016 exam. It will even confuse you more in exam. So, solve previous years papers with understanding not just solving. 
3. Never go in depth of some topics or subjects. Obviously examiner is not going to ask all the question from the subjects which you have prepared well. They will ask question from almost all subjects. So prepare all subjects equally first.

“GATE examination is to check basic knowledge and understanding of a candidate at their graduate
level.”

15 Must Read Tips and Tricks for GATE 2016 Aspirant

1. First of all go through latest syllabus of GATE completely. Read every single topic of each subject carefully mentioned in the GATE syllabus. “It is important to know what to study but it is more important to know what not to study”. Because you have to choose subjects to study as per GATE syllabus you do not need to study all subjects which you have studied in your B.E. / B. Tech. course. 

2. Buy Made Easy / ACE Academy GATE previous years papers book with explained solution. It will surely help greatly those who are preparing self at home.

3. Always read standard books. Why need to read standard books ?
Because standard books written by highly experienced Professors of reputed institutes / universities. Data available in those books are very well examined on theoretical as well as practical measurements. These books always comes with complete analysis and statistics which you can find on the start and last of the books.
GATE papers are designed by IISc, IIT, NITs highly experienced professor those who have written many international and national level books and articles. So always try to use standard books try to avoid mere knowledge books. Some standard publications are Tata McGraw-Hill (TMH), Prentice- Hall of India (PHI), Wiley etc.

4. Many would say 3 to 4 month serious preparation is enough but I would suggest you as per present competition you must start your preparation as soon as possible targeting GATE 2016 examination .

5. First of all make proper plan before starting your GATE preparation. What you have to study ? What you have already studied or in which areas you are weak and in which areas you are strong ? How many hours you have in a day for GATE preparation ? Specially if you are preparing for GATE with college study.

6. In free time try to read articles or guide notes written by previously qualified candidates or toppers. It will surely give you a good idea about GATE preparation because experience take time and you are getting it without Wasting your time. If possible try to communicate with them so that they can rectify your silly mistakes in your preparation strategy.

7. Always keep a copy of syllabus of GATE with you, refer it as much as possible because many time we try to ignore many topic and those topics have big portion in your GATE paper and that inversely affect your rank in GATE examination.

8. Don’t start your preparation in rush like doing all subjects at once. Starting studying everything like theory and numerical of all subjects at once it will confused you in last time preparation. Start with basics then go high as you find yourself good enough prepared.
As per my suggestion make your GATE preparation plan in three steps :

• First basic studies like definitions, units, dimensions etc. It will help you very well in extension study of that particular subject.
• Theoretical portion of that particular subject.
• Numerical portion of that particular subject.  At last revision of that particular subject before starting new one. Try to study only one subject at a time. If you can manage two subjects at a time that would also good. But more then two subjects at a time may lead you in big confusion in last time preparation or at revision time.

9. Try to solve as much as possible theoretical and numerical problems because as said “Practice makes man perfect”. I will suggest you read only one subject at a time from only one book. That one book must good enough to follow GATE syllabus. So before starting GATE study, consult with your seniors or GATE qualifiers about books for GATE preparation. Do not follow books without knowledge because all  books don’t have good learning material it may lead you less marks in GATE exam.

10. Stay with a particular topic, understand what GATE paper designer ask from that topic, read all questions asked in GATE previous years, try to solve similar kind of question from as much as possible books.

11. When you find you have done enough questions for that particular topic then try to find some tricks that will help you to solve question with in shortest possible time so that you can utilize your remaining time in other questions solving because in GATE paper three kind of questions they asked :

•  Easy : Which many students would be able to answer without much preparation.
•  Moderate : These kind of question easily answered by who prepared for GATE with some awareness.
•  Hard : For this kind of questions student need very good preparation of every single topic of each subject mentioned in the GATE syllabus. This kind of question mostly lengthy and include more than 1 logic which you have to apply to solve that particular question. Many times 3-4 logic.
  So, such kind of question need more attention and need more time to solve than easy questions. So always try to save your time in exam for such kind of questions.

12. Always try to develop some good tricks while you study at home because to be master in some kind of tricks you have to practice it as much as possible time. You can learn it from a magician he work for a single trick nearly 10-12 hours in a single day for just making one show of some minutes but what after introducing that trick ?
All the people in the hall just praise his work and clap for his trick same as that magician you must have to practice as much as possible to make your trick successful for that you need to study continuously for hours with very high concentration.

13. Mock tests are the most important part in your preparation because you are going to prepare for an exam not for writing a book. So if you will not try to prepare in exam like environment you will surely do some silly kind of mistakes in the exam that in return lead you less marks.
So if possible try to make some mock tests by yourself if you can’t afford any coaching expanses or try to collect some test papers from your friends who have joined coaching and taking mock tests. You can use those papers as your own mock test preparation just sit with your table and chair like in
exam, set a clock for 3 hours exam like as exam hall and try to solve question same as you would  solve in your GATE exam. If you can afford coaching expenses then you may join any test series of good coaching institute.
Mock tests give you a good idea about time management in the exam hall in which many fails due to some silly reasons. Like they forgot to bring watch with them or calculator etc. The whole plan of exam must be in your mind like you have given this exam many times even if you are giving it first time. It would only possible if you prepare yourself for this exam previously very well.

14. Always evaluate yourself, not just run like a horse in a race. Make a plan for study. Study for 6 days in a week and left 1 day for revision purpose for what you have studied in last 6 days. Same do it for a month plan. Leave 2-3 days of a month in last for the revision for what you have studied in that particular month.
You need to revise what you have studied in your whole preparation like if you have 6 months for GATE preparation than you have to complete your whole GATE syllabus in just 5 months. Keep last month for revision because you can’t revise/recall everything what you have studied in last 5 months
without revising it.

15. If you don’t have enough time to prepare the whole syllabus of GATE then first calculate in what areas examiner asked questions the most try to prepare them first then others. 

If you need any kind of guidance or have any kind of query related to GATE examination preparation you may write it below through comment box. We will provide solution as soon as possible. Feel free to ask anything related to GATE preparation.

Important Tips:

• The difficulty level of the exam is not very high. A diploma holder in engineering can easily attempt the paper. Thus, focus on the basics of engineering than solving tough problems.
• Take as many practice tests as possible before the exam. Make sure you time your attempts. It is as much about speed as it is about accuracy in SSC Junior Engineer Exam 2014. Make sure you reach the exam centre well before time. This way, you won’t be stressed, which always helps you perform better in an exam.
• Attempt those questions first that you are absolutely sure about. You don’t need to attempt different sections in a specific order. Thus, you can always go back and forth between sections. Attempt the easy questions in all the sections first and then attempt the tough questions. As far as possible, do not play the guessing game. A thumb of rule you can follow is if you know more than 50% of the paper, you must not take undue risks and guess answers. There is negative marking involved. However, if you know less than 50% of the paper, it could be worthwhile to take calculate risks. Paper-II is a subjective paper. Make sure you practice the subjective method of answering questions too. You must know the correct method of solving numerical problems of engineering.
• If you clear the cutoff marks for paper-I and paper-II, you will have to go through an interview round. It is important that you start preparing for the interview as well from the time of the written test. Practice answering common interview questions such as “Why do you want to join SSC?”; “Tell us about yourself”; some common engineering theoretical concepts etc.

5 Career Steps You Should Take Before Graduating

Are you nearing the end of your studies? Then now is the time to start preparing for the job application process. Thorough research and preparation are key elements for your way to career success. Lay the groundwork now so you can send out compelling job applications that will convince any company that you are the right candidate for the job.

1. Do Your Research

 Starting early and conducting regular research is the best way to figure out what kind of jobs you may want to apply for. A job that excites your classmate might not interest you at all. What field do you want to work in? What companies do you know in this field? What other companies exist? And do they offer a job you could see yourself in? Unfortunately, there is no easy solution. It takes time and effort to find the right kind of job and a bit of luck to find it at the right time. So remember: You cannot start researching job opportunities too early!

2. Update Your CV

 You finally found a job you like and now you are starting to prepare your job application. Right? Wrong! In the time it takes you to prepare your documents, all applicants who previously prepared theirs will already have an advantage over you. Do you really want to get in line behind them? Regularly update your CV and make sure you have a finished version before you even start looking for a job. This way, once you see a job you like, you only need to add some finishing touches before sending out your CV – and you will be one of the first applicants.

3. Prepare Your Cover Letter

 The same holds true for cover letters. While sending out a generic cover letter for all kinds of jobs is not a good idea, you can definitely prepare a general structure. This cover letter can then be individualized by changing it slightly and stressing the skills that are important for each job. If you apply in different fields, you can even prepare different versions that emphasize your qualities in each field. Once you see a job you like, adjustments will be fast and simple.

4. Update Your Social Media Profiles

Your party pictures may be a hit among your friends, but do you think your future employer will think the same? Clean up your social media profiles and fast. That doesn’t mean you have to delete everything. Many platforms offer different privacy settings that still allow you to share certain content only with your friends. In general, you may want to think about who you represent on social media. Companies increasingly use social media in the hiring process and go through applicant profiles. This can be a chance for your to shine. Make sure to restrict the access to your personal profiles and that your LinkedIn or Xing profile is up-to-date. And don’t forget to add your iversity certificates! Additional qualifications like this can help you stand out.

5. Prepare A Work Sample

 During the application process, some companies may ask you for a sample of your work. For example, companies may ask for a short text to test your writing skills or other work samples related to the job. Research your field and find out what kind of material companies may ask for. It’s best to already prepare a general work sample or two that you can send in immediately, should companies request it. This way you can make sure you have enough time to prepare an excellent work sample that will prove to the company that you are the best person for the job.
