Strategy for Cracking GATE from home i.e. with out coaching

Guys i want to tell you all that securing above 60 marks in GATE is not that much difficult. I was unable to get because of lack in preparation and not able to bear the pressure in the final 1 hour of GATE exam. still i got promising marks, that boost me up.

Well in mechanical from the last 3 or 4 years the GATE pattern was quite easy compared to that of 2007 and before. So now a days some serious
concentration on very important topics make you to get away with a very good rank.

Now i want to tell you that what are the most important topics in gate exam.

GATE PATTERN
GATE exam is of 100 marks and in mechanical average cut off is between 25 to 30, but may depend on the exam of particular year. there is 70 marks for the all technical part of mechanical side which consist of core mechanical subjects and other part consist of 15 marks engineering
mathematics plus 15 marks for aptitude and English.

Heat transfer, Thermodynamics,
Fluid Mechanics and Machines,
Strength of materials, Theory of
Machines, Production Technology,
Power plant, RAC and Machine
Design, IC engines.

Engineering mathematics English and Reasoning and Aptitude for me preparing time is less so i left machine design and RAC, but i suggest you to not to leave any of these subjects. i explain how to make this simple.

Strategy
Firstly cover Thermodynamics
completely with last 10 years gate
papers and after that when you are through with the subject then its time for heat transfer and IC engine cycles i.e. Otto, and diesel cycles.

With Thermodynamics it is easy for you to cover heat transfer and understand it easily.

Now when you are done with these subjects then its time for Fluid and power plant subjects, comparatively fluid syllabus is more than power plant, power plant only includes vapour power cycle and steam power cycle. Sothese are the very important
subjects

Now the most important subject
according to me is Production Technology, all last year exam gives you an idea how important is this. In GATE 2013 it consist of 16 marks out of 70. so it makes you feel that how important is this subject, so give sufficient time to this subject to justify its importance.

In production technology metal cutting, casting, forming is very
very important.

Now subjects Theory of Machines
and Strength of Materials have equal importance. Always 7 to 8 marks is expected from these subjects.

Machine design and RAC consist
of less marks but never underestimate these subjects as of their importance.

According to me at least 20 to 25 days are requires for the practise after your preparation of all subjects.
other subject i.e. maths, Eng. and aptitude also require time for the practise.

HOW TO MAKE PREPARATION SIMPLE

Now you are thinking all these subjects done at a time is very difficult to remember. so here the some ways to how to do this:

1. firstly you prepare thermal subjects i.e. Thermodynamics, heat transfer, IC engines.

2. then start fluid along with practise of previous subjects.

3. at the middle of fluid start production and

4. when fluid ends along with of production start some 1 or 2 hour practise of maths, and aptitude.

5. when you all are done then try to give some tests so that to increase your speed.

6. doing all your practise set a time alarm near to you so that every time you can increase your speed.

7. now for machine design and rac if more time is there then gocompletely through these subjects

8. but if time is not there then try to see last year papers what is they are asking in these subjects and make Strong that topics.

9. 20 to 25 days of complete practise is must.

10. try to maintain daily 8 to 10 hours, is you are able to give more that is up to you soon i will post some more information regarding
gate exam and list of important gate topics.

you can ask for any of your doubt.
keep preparing....
