How to Pass Gate in Your Very First Attempt: Plan, Prepare and Crack GATE From Home (without spending a fortune) (How to Pass Competitive Exams from Home Book 2)

Students wanting to join an IIT for post-graduation or to join a Public Sector Company need to qualify in the GATE exam.

GATE is not easy. It demands knowledge and application. This can only be achieved by systematic preparation for the exam.

Most students graduating from college cannot pass GATE unless they put in a lot of extra effort. This is where coaching classes come in. They assure success and make it appear that merely enrolling in one is all that is required. They base their strategy on the fact that students feel that studying at home, by themselves is simply not adequate.

Coaching Institutes are, no doubt, well-meaning and excellent centres of learning. Sadly, and ironically, they are only suitable for bright students who have attended classes regularly in college, have no backlog and are generally in the top few in their class.

For the average student, coaching classes are too fast paced. Moreover, the basic concepts are not taught in these institutes – it is assumed that the student is already familiar with them. The faculty in these coaching classes are in a perennial hurry to complete the syllabus and solve more problems.

Average students would be better off studying on their own at home. In any case, statistics show that more than 50% of students who pass GATE every year do it on their own without attending any coaching institute.

With over a decade’s experience of teaching in such coaching classes, Professor Rao has analysed what the average student requires to do to pass GATE. (Joining a coaching class is not one of them). In the book, he reveals:

•How to cover the vast syllabus systematically and remember all the concepts and formulae?

•What study materials to use and where to get them from.

•How to identify important topics and which ones to just skim through?

•How to identify important engineering concepts and be at home with them?

•How to solve complex problems and develop confidence for solving new ones?

•What personal qualities to develop to become a world class student and use it to improve yourself.

Any student who follows the steps given in the book can easily pass the GATE Exam in the first attempt, from home, without joining a coaching institute and also become a smarter person in the process.
