Final year students suffer from this dilemma that whether they should focus on Degree or GATE or how to crack GATE along with scoring good marks in college. So , I am going to share my way of managing both the things.
First of all ,from the beginning of my GATE preparation I started making formula notebook and believe me , its a tough and a BORING job , BUT, its going to decide your performance in the final GATE exam.My study schedule during college days used to be :
"MAKE A FORMULA NOTEBOOK AND REVISE IT DAILY" always do a written revision. I myself have revised that notebook many many times , It was BORING, I used to think that I already know the formulas then why even I am doing all that but I got AIR 16 just because of that hard work.
How to Manage ?
Since , you will be busy on weekends , for the Assignments and Practical Files find free lectures. I was a sincere student till 3rd year, did all the assignments myself but when I started GATE , I did it like others ie I copied them .It does not seems good but I managed to save time for something greater.For exam,listen carefully to all the teachers who teach well , It will be beneficial and in those classes where teacher is not upto the mark and where you think you are just going for attendance , sit in the corner and start writing formulas from that notebook. for END SEMESTER EXAM , start studying atleast a week before , they are more important than GATE , if you fail in any subject , you wont be allowed to SIT IN ANY PSU !#KeepThatInMind
Now comes the turn of CAMPUS PLACEMENTS, I was unplaced till I gave GATE Exam and a week after I got a offer letter from IGL. I never specifically studied anything for any company. I was out in most of the GD's ( I cleared BPCL's GD) and Never cleared a single interview , All that happened because I was too busy in GATE preparation.. Campus placements are a great time waste and students for future security gets trapped in the shackles of this trap. I am not saying that don't take a JOB or dont sit in any placement procedure. What I am saying is , be selective and take smart steps. Don's go for all the companies , Just sit in core companies and don't devote too much special attention to any company , keep on preparing GATE and only give 1 day for the selected company for the preparation , not more than that. Ignore non core companies completely.
Always Give some time to leisure activities. Go out with friends and enjoy daily too afterall , its your COLLEGE Life ! and remember If you achieve success , your all hardships will become success stories.
