After pursuing engineering, all engineering students stand at the crossroad of making a decisive choice
so as to explore interesting avenues as a choice for their careers. A majority of people opt for mainly
two things that are management or M.Tech. With the current economic scenario of the India, there are
various colleges that are not able to give 100% placement to their students. This results in candidates
making a tough choice between management and M.Tech. In order to get admission in M.Tech the
examination that holds significant importance on national as well as international level is GATE. 

So, if you are the one seeking admission in post-graduation programmes in reputed engineering colleges
and institutes in India, you need to crack GATE. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), is an All-
India examination that holds high significant and is conducted in eight zones across India by the GATE
committee. The main objective of GATE test is to identify the quality of students and assess their
potential to continue higher education. By conducting GATE, it becomes easy to evaluate the students
on the required skill scale and consistency to pursue higher studies in the field of engineering.

With the cut-throat competition, even those who save more than 85% in the GATE examination, lag
behind in getting admissions into the reckoned institutions such as NITs and IITs. The questions of GATE
are usually the derivation of fundamentals and preparation of GATE is an ongoing process and is
supposed to take place in varied stages. Prepare your best with the fundamentals and then test yourself
those fundamentals.

There are students who prepare at home with the number of book options available in the market
today. Then there are few aspirants who opt for correspondence coaching courses. A coaching material
cannot be assessed until one goes through the same word by word. Hence GATE aspirants can go by
some tips of their seniors.

Those who are getting regular classroom coaching need to check whether the institute suits their
requirement or not by considering some of the following parameters:

studies. But if this material simply copy paste or re-write of materials taken from other books then these
hold minimal importance. In comparison to all this, there are several standard books on each subject by
good authors which can make your study enjoyable as well as interesting.

•    Compilation of quality books- While studying theory, conceptualization and building application
capabilities, and one needs good collection of books, which can really put our brain on exercise. Ensure
that your coaching institute has a collection of good and informative books.

•    Flexibility- There are aspirants who have slow or fast grasping power than the average. In such cases,
it is better to ascertain the model that suits your needs and provide enough guidance to you at the same
time.

•    Tests and Evaluation Model- Ensure and track your progress through a set of tests and evaluation as
this is the most crucial part of the preparation. This is the main area where the students fail due to lack
of essential test and evaluation material.
