Admin  : Is coaching necessary to crack GATE?

Sai          : Of late, GATE is like a race!! It is necessary to take coaching because students have to know logical and problem solving skills. A good coaching centre makes your preparation simple and enjoyable.

Admin  : How you managed to crack GATE in your final year of B.Tech by managing academics and GATE preparation?

Sai         :  For 6 months I worked a lot to cover my academics and GATE but I love that time really that makes my life so consistent today. I planned like this : morning 6:30 am to 8:30 am for Engineering mathematics section and evening 6:00pm to 12:30 pm technical subjects and in between 10:00am to 5:00pm are my college timings  as well as my fun time. At that time I studied the topics which are common to both my academics and GATE. In that way I maintained both of them.

Admin  : Did u have confidence that u will get below 400 rank?

Sai        : Yes I have….  Actually I targeted for below 100 rank but due to less preparation time, lack of practice and small mistakes in exam sets my rank to 323.

Sai         : Not proud but feeling happy, its one of my life achievement and my dream too. Being a technical student I have a degree from IIT, now I am an IITIAN.

Sai       : You know… “At the end of every tunnel there will be a light”. Here tunnel is our preparation time, end of the tunnel is cleared an entrance exam. Then ultimately you found a light where everything is simple, cool and happy. Life in IIT is Very nice, everything is available at our door steps and daily events, cultural fests, Seminars, guest talks lots are there. Some students says like this:”  Even 24 hrs are not sufficient to enjoy here”.
