GATE 2024 Mechanical Preparation Tips(Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), I know you know the full form of GATE, I know even you are looking for tips(These tips and tricks are for all disciplines of Engineering, you may be studying in CSE(Computer Science Engineering), ECE(Electronics and Communication Engineering), ME (Mechanical Engineering) etc). 
 
Those tips will really help you to crack GATE 2024, so for this, I got an idea just one month ago to write about GATE preparation Guide, that’s why I talk to my many friends and also my teachers those already have qualified GATE, PSU’s even IES, so in this blog post you are going to get ultimate tips and tricks to crack GATE 2024
 
Are you super excited to know those tips, which will open a new gate for your life, I hope so, you are-

1) Make a Proper Plan for GATE 2024

I don’t need to tell you more, why you need to plan for preparation.
 
This is not working only for GATE.
 
I have to say this, this is a evergreen tactics or strategy to achieve target, easily as well as effectively.
 
I know even you are really interested in GATE that’s why even you have landed on this page, so I will recommend you to do only one known but effective tips for planning, don’t do planning in your mind.
 
Just take a piece of paper and then write what is your goal and how would you achieve it.
 
I mean the path for achieving your goal.
 
Then just paste that or those piece of paper in your bed room wall, that’s why you can see always your target, which will keep you doing for achieving your goal, i.e. good score in GATE.

2) Preparation of the Subjects

See, I don’t know about you, you may be in final year or may be pass out student, even this is possible you are doing job.
 
But I do know.
 
No matter what are you doing, you have to prepare for GATE, other wise there is no shortcut way to crack it.
 
I mean just look at the statistics of GATE appeared candidates increasing rapidly from last few years, since PSU’s start recruiting through GATE.
 
Here is the statistics for GATE previous year appeared candidates-
GATE 2023-
About 5 Lakhs
 
GATE 2022-
About 6 Lakhs
 
GATE 2021-
About 7 Lakhs
 
GATE 2020-
About 8 Lakhs
 
GATE 2019-
About 8 Lakhs
 
GATE 2018- 
About 8 Lakhs
 
GATE 2017- 
About 8 Lakhs

GATE 2016-
Little less than one million

Total number of candidates appeared more than 1 million
 
GATE 2013-
Total number of candidates appeared 9,84,855.
 
GATE 2012-
Total number of candidates appeared 7,71,349
 
GATE 2011-
Total number of Candidates appeared 5,52,530
 
I hope you can understand now, how the craze of GATE is increasing day by day, see these numbers and then start preparations.
 
Remember, seats are limited, if you want to get in there then I think you have to do something i.e. hard work with little using your mind.
 
I hope you are getting me.

3) Clear Basics Concept

Here many students fail.
 
Because GATE is not like any other written examination that questions will come from selected topics or unit but syllabus is there(Partitions of Marks is not there)
 
Here any type of patter can be followed, no boundary for it.
 
So, I will recommend you, while solving any question don’t go behind the answer or try to solve the question in shortcut, first try to get the concept then you can try any shortcut according to you, but to do accurate shortcut you have to first clear your basics concept.

4) Solve More Numerical Problems

If you are not aware about this, then let me tell you, in GATE there are about 80% numerical based questions come.
 
So, rather try to remember theories.
 
Try to solve more and more numerical problems, which will help you lot to remember concept as well as formulas.

5) Use of Calculator in GATE 2024

Calculator is free to use in GATE.
 
Definitely there are certain reasons behind of it.
 
Because, you need to solve problems in time, if you will not familiar with calculator then it will become difficult for you to use calculator directly in the examination.
 
So, keep using calculator, that’s why you will not do any mistake in the GATE examination.

6) Solve Previous Year Problems

See, every body need an idea to make things better understanding.
 
Here the same, previous year question paper will give you an idea about the question pattern, as well as you will have practice of solving questions, those already asked in GATE.

7) Make a Notes of All Formula and Key Points but Subject Wise

Key points and formulas are needed to crack the exam.
 
You should noted those key points because it will help you to revise your studied topics very quickly.
 
And you know revision is must.

8) Study Like Last Study

Think about it.
 
That, this is about your career.
 
Once you will clear the examinations and interview you will become officer may be Group A officer.
 
So, study your every day like last day.

9) Join GATE Test Series

Join test series, this is going to let you know about your preparation.
 
You will be confident, about your preparation, which will be helpful in the GATE examinations, also you will come to know your speed of solving questions, mistakes etc.
 
Specially, I talk to many of my friends about preparation of GATE out of ten friends, 8 friends told me join test series.
 
I think there is something good.

10) Practice Online Test Series

GATE has changed it’s exam pattern, I know you know about it, that you are going to take test, GATE
test online.
 
So, there is little difference between online offline examinations.
 
So, online test series will help to get you almost the same feeling of the GATE examinations, for this online test series, I will recommend you to use one online website.
 
Don’t Worry, it’s free?
 
Those questions are even from GATE previous years.
 
This is going to help you to know about the GATE pattern and at the same time you will able build your concept to solve questions, in this website only.

11) Don’t Study Like University Examinations

In the competitive examinations like GATE, questions come those are generally do not come in the University examinations.
 
You have to put more concentrations on numerical problems, which will help you lot to clear and also to get good marks in the examinations.

13) Study 10 Hours Daily Last Two Months(Self Study)

If you are really serious about GATE then I will suggest you to study at least 10 hours a day, self study.
 
Which will increase capability to study and work hard.

12) If Possible Buy MCQ Test Books, Then Solve

If you have solves previous questions paper then you may refer any MCQ books to solve questions, I will recommend you to solve previous year IES papers, it will also help you to develop concept of your own subject.
 
Don’t try to solve more and more simple questions, rather try to solve more and more difficult questions.

13) Give More Concentration on Your Weak Point

After solving GATE previous papers, you will definitely come to know about your week point, where you can work to make those areas strong.
 
I know it will take time.
 
But you have to give time, if you wanted to be there, otherwise it is all yours.
 
Think about it.
 
I can remember a good quotes on this, which is written by Shiv Khera.
 
“Winners Don’t Do Different Things They Do Things Differently”

14) Help Others, What You Know?

If you will share with others, what you know then it will be more crystal clear for you, which will help to boost your concept regarding that or those topics, even some one will ask you questions regarding those topics, which will also lead to answer a questions instantaneously.
 
Remember more you will help others, more you will grow, this not applicable only GATE, this is applicable everywhere in your life.

15) Don’t Be in Hurry

Hurry, some where it is needed, may be getting ready to go to college.
 
But while preparing for competitive examinations you have to clear all concepts and solve many type of questions. Because you have to prepare in this way that you can solve any type of questions from those topics.

16) Don’t Use Fluke Method

Most dangerous for competitions examinations like GATE, PSU’s etc!
 
Because of Minus Marking, I know, you know about it.
 
But even then I am reminding you, to don’t use fluke method to answer the questions.

17) Don’t Pre-assume any Answer

While solving any question in the examinations, don’t assume any answer in between solving the question, which may lead you to choose wrong answer than a correct one, then you know what will happen.
 
I will recommend you to maintain accuracy.

18) Give More Time to Technical Subjects

Don’t waste time in non technical Like English, Aptitude etc.
 
Okay I know you will get about 15 marks from these topics, but out of 100 Marks, even you can solve about 10 Marks questions quiet easily out of 15, if you are little smart for solving aptitude questions.
 
That’s why I am recommending you to concentrate more on technical subjects.

19) Concentrate on Accuracy

As I have already share with you maintaining accuracy will help you lot, to get good marks and finally to get good rank.
 
But you are not going to get good accuracy in a day, you have to stick to it,  I mean first stop giving answer by looking the questions.
 
If you are pretty sure about the question then answer it.
 
It will make your own attitude to answer the questions in the examinations, which will help you to decide which question you can solve and choose the right answer, this will save your time also.

20) Group Study Is Important

If you are living in a hostel or studying in college.
 
Then discuss topics with your friends, but remember those are interested to study only.
 
It you will help lot to keep concept in your mind for forever.

21) Silly Points

This is my personal experience.
 
In the competitive examinations you will get questions from Notes or silly points or assumptions of the topic. which is generally we don’t study while preparing for University examinations.
 
So, always give little focus on silly points too(If possible make notes those silly points).

22) Ask Your Friend Those Already Get into IIT or Gate Qualified

To get help or good suggestions ask some one, who already did it.
 
But don’t ask any one who is too much intelligent, you have to ask any one, who was like you and get into it.
 
Who can tell you the proper path for you to achieve your target.

23) Keep Faith in Itself

All of we know, if we do something with full of faith then it will become easier to do that.
 
The same concept you can use here even.

24) Don’t Memorize Answer of Any Question

Don’t try to memorize any answers, rather try to understand the concept behind it.
 
Why concept?
 
It will help you to solve another question of same type or may be little different type.

25) No Need to Study Beyond Syllabus

Stick to your syllabus.
 
There are million topics in any Engineering field that does not mean you need to study all of them, you just have to study, what’s on your syllabus.
 
While preparing for examinations after then you can read any topic, but now stick to syllabus.

26) Exam Type

I have already share with you that GATE is not like any university examinations, you have to prepare for GATE with different way, I hope you come to know many of them.
 
Read next section it will crystal clear for you.

27) GATE Previous Year Question Papers Analysis Subject Wise

GATE previous years question paper are keys to qualify GATE even you can get very good marks.
 
It will help you to analyze type of questions come in the examinations.

28) Tips to Remember Any Difficult Topic

This is the tips, I have learnt from my self.
 
Whenever, I have been in trouble to remember any topic, I always try to relate the topic with my favorite things in my life.
 
Which help me lot to remember any topic or any formula or any key points.
 
You can do the same, I hope it will help you lot,  few more tips I have used like putting difficult topic on your room wall, making notes and keep looking while journey.
 
See, there are many ways to succeed in your life, it is up to you, how and which way will work for you the best, you have to find it and finally implement it, if you want to succeed.
 
“Remember Ideas are worthless, if you will not implement”
