Ravi            : Thank you.

Admin        : Whom do you give the credit of your success??

Ravi          :First, I thank all the faculty of ACE academy and to my family and friends who supported me all the time. I never forget where I’ve come thank you to everyone who are with me at every walk of mylife either in odd times or in good times.

Admin        : Before we start tell us about your personal life?

Ravi           : okay with pleasure.

Admin       : Tell us about your family?

Ravi          : My father is a farmer and my mother is a house wife. I have one younger sister, studying B.tech final year.

Admin       : What are your hobbies?

Ravi          : Swimming , playing games.

Admin    : How you managed that consistency in academics throughout your career, its really amazing?

Ravi         :  Actually I didn’t tried to manage. All the thing which I tried was to be best in my current job and I think that made me consistent.

Admin     : Many say that its very tough even to qualify in GATE exam. But its amazing that you got 328th rank? What do you say?

Ravi        : GATE is not a difficult examination provided you approach it the right way. I think many people will answer the questions even if they don’t know the answer, that leads to negative marking. If  you attempt only the questions which are known by you its very easy to qualify this exam. and even get a good rank

Admin     : What is your strategy at the time of preparation?

Ravi       : I studied all the things taught by the faculty. I studied textbooks for only the subjects which I was not confident enough. Practiced previous year question papers and I wrote many online tests. I focused more on the subjects which I felt difficult.

Admin    : Okay. How many hours did you worked regularly?

Ravi       : I don’t work on hourly basis. You don’t need to count how many hours you studied, but how many minutes you were focussed is important. If you had dreamt it, then definitely you have the potential to do it.  

Admin    : You are successful at very tender age? Will u stop with this?

Ravi       : I think I am not yet successful and there are miles to go.

Admin   : So what are your future plans?

Ravi       : As of now first to complete my M.Tech and then to get a good job.

Admin    : Whom do you feel as the greatest support in your life for getting any success??

Ravi        :  My family & friends.

Admin    : Faced any pressure at the time of your GATE preparation?

Ravi       :  Yes, but kept my cool throughout my preparation.

Admin   : Is coaching necessary to crack GATE?

Ravi    Coaching is not a panacea and it is not a must have thing. But coaching can give you direction but ultimately you have to do all the hard work.

Admin    : How you managed to crack GATE?

Ravi      : I made a monthly table where I distributed various chapters to different months. I made sure that I give adequate time to each chapter and also enough time for revision.

Admin     : Did u have confidence that u will get a below 400 rank in GATE’13?

Ravi       : I don’t have confidence first. But after the completion of my preparation and after writing three mock tests I was confident that I can get.

Admin    :  How is the life @ IITG?

Ravi       : It’s very nice here. IITG is one of the beautiful campuses in india. It is the place where you can enjoy to the core and the Govt. is providing many facilities. Once in your life time everyone should study in IIT. IIT will teach many things.

Admin    : Do you feel proud about yourself for being successful in your life?

Ravi       : It’s not about feeling proud. I just made my dream come true.

Admin    : What is your success formula?

Ravi       : There is no shortcut to success. The only way to success is to do smart hard work.

Admin   : To get a three digit rank in the GATE what are the things to do?

Ravi      : First learn basics thoroughly. Don’t just by heart the formulae , try to know the origin of the formulae.The key is to solve as many questions you can with the highest possible accuracy and revise the entire syllabus as many times as you can, then success will automatically run after you.

Admin    :Where would you like to see yourself after 20 years?

Ravi      :"Life is unexpected. I dont know what my title will be in 20 years. But I see myself as someone with much more experience than I have today. I would like to picture myself as an IES officer."

Admin   : Finally What do you say to the GATE aspirants?

Ravi      : Stay focused on what you want to achieve. Be confident. Don’t ever lose your hope. If I can do it ,I think everyone can. All the very best.

Admin    : Thank you for spending your valuable time with us.

Ravi      :  thank you very much, feeling good that I’ve been interviewed. Keep doing the things like this.
