I have left some of the topics which have been rarely asked in the previous GATE papers. For Example from Meteorology and inspection , only limit fits concept will do the work.First of all see the wight age of each topic. Prepare the subject which contains most weight age first. Then prepare in a decreasing order. Then after prepare the subjects which are of least important and in which you are weak. <br />Remember competitive exams are about concentrating your strength. Prepare the topics which are important from your weak subjects (GATE papers will help you out in this) and prepare the entire subject which has more weight age and which is your strength.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-23352852147868926792009-07-15T09:15:03.741-07:002009-07-15T09:15:03.741-07:00hii guys....nice discussion is going on..you peopl...hii guys....nice discussion is going on..you people seems to be very much experienced..i am going to attempt gate2010..before reading these comments i liked mr aryas strategy...but know iam in dilema..can anyone help me in one matter..how to cover entire syllabus...we have to study around 30 subs perfectly to crack gate and get into some iit...so wat strategy or methods we should follow to complete the entire syllabus in time??rameshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-70036477348350939352009-07-12T06:03:36.165-07:002009-07-12T06:03:36.165-07:00I shall be narrating my own case wherein i failed ...I shall be narrating my own case wherein i failed to qualify for GATE once because i prepared in depth topics like Governors and crankshaft designs and others.. Well this time i qualified only because i strategised my studies in a manner wherein i had a look at papers and then zeroed down on the depth with which i shall prepare. Although as Varun said if one has time you should go in deep but at the end its everyone's personal matter to decide as at the end it depends on the personal capacity of every person. So its like fighting to decide whether the egg came first or the hen it shall never end.

As a mechanical engineer, you'd be a fool to go to a competitive exams by reading just the theory. and yeah when he does that, no amount of theoretical knowledge can compensate for actual problems.<br /><br />maybe not for your university, but most students in India prepare for university exams by preparing the previous years question papers (though it wasnt the case for me). this was why i emphasized that GATE isnt to be taken that lightly.<br /><br />to you, my method would look like going to USA via Australia, but to some guys, believe me, its the direct flight. some may think my route is tedious and far fetched, but some actually find this a lot easier.<br /><br />peaceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588167413529506100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-17118704004304449652009-07-11T13:26:16.368-07:002009-07-11T13:26:16.368-07:00Dear Varun, I have not taken any thing personally....Dear Varun, I have not taken any thing personally.<br /><br />First of all , one should not prepare for university exams by just working out previous years papers. And no need to compare university exams with GATE. University exams contain only 1 subject and GATE contains all the subjects of the engineering course work ( i have told before also). <br /><br />Consider the Case where one have not seen the previous years GATE papers. Now he don't know that weight age of problems are exceptionally more than the theory part in GATE exam. It is possible he will just focus on the physical meanings of the subjects and ignore the problems. He may think that he has prepared well and he is strong enough in that particular subject though he is not. <br /><br />And as far as your question is concerned the answer is given in the post itself. Author has written so many examples like casting , welding and forming etc. which enlighten the answer of your question. So just go through it properly.<br /><br />And i am very much agree with you that each one has his own methodology and viewpoint. You can reach USA from INDIA through AUSTRALIA , and you can Directly also reach to USA. You have to decide what path you want to follow. This posts are just the guidance to crack GATE without extra work( to reach USA directly).aryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986693229573599131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-84788485731914713142009-07-11T09:28:54.541-07:002009-07-11T09:28:54.541-07:00GATE papers tell you what to prepare and what not ...GATE papers tell you what to prepare and what not to prepare. In what depth you have to go for a particular topic. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />can you enlighten me more on this???? GATE papers arent your regular university exams, and going by your approach, one can score good marks just by working out the last 5 GATE papers, which is not true... i know what i'm talking about dude, but dont take it personal... each guy has his own viewpoint and methodology, we only hit upon the right one by knowing our strengths...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588167413529506100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-47549843969141360822009-07-09T22:19:24.769-07:002009-07-09T22:19:24.769-07:00There is a big difference in idealism and reality....There is a big difference in idealism and reality.<br />Before starting any task you tend to make your mind up to follow the ideal path but sometimes it is not practical, if you can prepare everything to the depth, if you can understand all the equations, all the theorems, all definitions that is good enough, you need not wonder about how empirical relations come up.<br /><br />What we are posting over here is a common guideline about what you should stress on more, it's not about distracting you from some topic.<br /><br />When you are appearing in a competitive examination, it's not just your knowledge that is tested, your approach towards the study material as well as your preparedness also hold equal importance.<br /><br />e.g. if someone wastes half an hour for solving a tricky question and then ends up in not being able to attempt 20 more questions, he/she is a fool.Ashutoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408540770363028792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-49722456814814090282009-07-09T11:52:07.772-07:002009-07-09T11:52:07.772-07:00Dear Varun, I am not agree with you. It is possibl...Dear Varun, I am not agree with you. It is possible that you can't answer the question asked from the topic which you think is your strength. As it occurs many times that the very hard questions being asked from some topics, and If unfortunately these topics are your strength, you will be in problem at that time. <br /><br />GATE papers tell you what to prepare and what not to prepare. In what depth you have to go for a particular topic. <br /><br />And i guess you have not seen the previous years GATE papers before commenting here. If you have gone through it then you can understand what i mean to say. <br /><br />At the graduation level we come to know across so many topics but all these are not at all important for GATE. <br /><br />And remember that at the college level you have to remeber(study) only 5 or 6 subjects at a time. Here in GATE you have to remember(study) almost 35 subjcets. So these papers will help you a lot to understand what are the topics to be prepared from a particular subject.aryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986693229573599131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411745257548749718.post-85157840131557849672009-07-09T08:23:03.900-07:002009-07-09T08:23:03.900-07:00the tips are good, but spending time on only those...the tips are good, but spending time on only those topics from which questions are being asked is a kind of paradox. while setting the GATE paper, the professors don't have any list of topics already asked from. concentrating on only those questions or topics asked would be like taking a gamble. The best way would be to play to your strengths. if you're good at Math and say, Kinematics and Dynamics, be sure to answer any type of problem or question appearing from it. Selective preparation based on previous GATE papers is a bad idea, as GATE isnt like your regular university exams.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588167413529506100noreply@blogger.com
