By understanding, it is implied that candidate is not supposed to just be able to grasp & explain but rather this exam requires candidate to have a feel/common sense.
2. While solving the problem, students must have balance between speed & accuracy.
3. Preparation time for GATE is subjective and depends on the so many factors such as individual’s aptitude, fundamentals, attitude, concentration level etc., Typically, it requires a proper preparation for 4-6 months for good score in gate.
4. Keep realizing your performance; it is mandatory to directly jump upon the previous GATE question on the topic you just finished,this will help you to get to know the type of questions that can be asked in the exam related to the topic.
5. If there is a problem that can be overcome by being innovative and intuitive also helps to reach the correct option quickly. This means that, it is not at all obligatory to solve question in typical way. Practice comes accessible to solve questions quicker so that the balance time can be utilized in some really thought provoking questions (all few questions fall in this category).
6. You should have done sufficient study/ discussion, so that the moment you start reading the question you should have an intuition on whether you can solve it. One way, is to read multiple books on the same subjects, especially for subjects of your interest or the thrust portion in GATE exam pattern. Also, to support your study with some self notes is good idea. This helps in final revisions.
7. While preparing always keep your goal in thought and fancy being in the place like top institutes wherever you want to have admission. Always remember “you will definietly get it,if your desire is strong”. So positive mind is the key. Mild tension can be helpful to have kind of motivation or a sense of duty.  But you should avoid thoughts of loosing which can cause loss of concentration and low performance. Read only when you are reading.
8. In the last days of preparation, if you have any doubts about any topic/formula, you can have a look on these sections. Always remember, more doubts lead to more concept building.

Other points to be remembered are:

1. Set your goals

Different goals have different approach and hence it is important to define your goals.

If you are desiring for the top IITs or PSUs, you will need a rank of less than 1000 and hence you will have to prepare assiduously on all topics.

On the other hand, if your goal is to just qualify, then you can afford to leave out two to three topics from your preparation.

2. Take a diagnostic test

Before starting your preparation it is important to know your initial level of competence.

An analysis of your performance in this test will tell you your strengths and areas where improvement is required. Based on this, you can device your preparation planning.

3. Build your concepts

The GATE 2015 is an exam which tests concepts as well as their application thoroughly. Join a good classroom programme or an online tutoring programme that’ll will help strengthen your concepts.

4. Practice makes man perfect

As the old adage goes, there is nothing better than extensive practice. Solve all types of questions you come across in various books and be prepared on all question patterns

5. Familiarise with formulae

Engineering subjects have a lot of formulae, which more often than not have to be memorised. Joted down all formulae as and when you finish each topic or referring to a collection of formulae will help you get familiar.
