GATE 2018 - A 90 DAY STRATEGY

(NOTE - ONLY FOR GATE ASPIRANTS)

DIVIDE 90 DAYS INTO 6 MODULES OF 15 DAYS EACH

MODULE CLASSIFICATION

NOTE - IN THIS DOCUMENT, I HAVE GIVEN EXAMPLE OF CIVIL

ENGINEERING BRANCH BUT THE SAME CAN BE APPLIED FOR
OTHER BRANCHES ALSO.

MODULE 1
CONSISTING OF A HIGH WEIGHTAGE SUBJECT ALONG WITH
MATHS AND A LOW WEIGHTAGE SUBJECT

(EX - SOM + HYDROLOGY + MATHS)

MODULE 2
CONSISTING OF A HIGH WEIGHTAGE SUBJECT AND 2 LOW
WEIGHTAGE SUBJECTS + THOROUGH REVISION OF MODULE 1 (1
TIME )

MARK EVERYTHING IMPORTANT NOW IN MODULE 1.

(EX - ENVIRONMENTAL ENGG + IRRIGATION + CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT + MODULE 1 )

MODULE 3
CONSISTING OF A HIGH WEIGHTAGE SUBJECT AND 1 LOW
WEIGHTAGE SUBJECT + REVISION OF MODULE 2 THOROUGHLY

(EX- SOIL MECHANICS & FOUNDATION ENGG + SURVEYING +

MODULE 2)

MODULE 4
CONSISTING OF A HIGH WEIGHTAGE SUBJECT AND 2 OTHER
SUBJECTS + THOROUGH REVISION OF MODULE 3 + MODULE 1

(Applying i111 Technique- Refer Civil Beings Video on that)

NOTE - EVERY NEXT MODULE WILL REQUIRE MORE EFFORTS

THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE.

(EX - FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULICS + RCC + ENGINEERING

MECHANICS + MODULE 1 + 2 + 3)

 Page 2 of 3

NOTE - YOU MAY LEAVE SOME TOPICS IN PREVIOUS 4 MODULES

(NOT MORE THAN 10%)

MODULE 5
CONSISTING OF REMAINING SUBJECTS LIKE HIGHWAY
ENGINEERING, STEEL STRUCTURES, APTITUDE AND TOPICS LEFT
OUT FROM THE PREVIOUS MODULES 1 TO 4

NOTE - THE LEFT OUT PORTION WHICH YOU FOUND TO BE OF

LESS WEIGHTAGE OR YOU FOUND IT CONFUSING. NOW IS THE
TIME TO COMPLETE ALL THOSE ALSO.
EX- HIGWAY + STEEL + APTITUDE + MODULE 4 + MODULE 2 (AGAIN
APPLYING i111 TECHNIQUE FOR LONG TERM RETENTION)

MODULE 6
CONSISTING OF REVISION ONLY FOR A PERIOD OF 15 DAYS. TILL
NOW NUMBER OF REVISIONS OF

MODULE 1 - 2

MODULE 2 - 2

MODULE 3 - 1

MODULE 4 - 1

THEN DO LIKE THIS

MODULE 5 - 1 TIME
MODULE 4 - 1 TIME

MODULE 3 - 1 TIME

MODULE 2 - 1 TIME

MODULE 1 - 1TIME

MODULE 3 - 1 TIME

MODULE 4 - 1 TIME

MODULE 5 - 1 TIME

THE WHOLE PORTION IS STUDIED 4 TIMES BY THE TIME YOU

ARE ENTERING THE EXAM HALL.

NOTE -
1. START WITH MODULE 1 AS EARLY AS 90 DAYS BEFORE THE
EXAM.

DO THREE THINGS - NOTES + PAST YEAR PAPERS + CLASS

QUESTIONS

NOTE THAT CLASS QUESTIONS ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY

WILL PROVIDE CONCEPTUAL CLARITY.

NOTHING ELSE REQUIREDPERIOD!

2. TIME ALLOCATION - WILL DEPEND ON PERSON TO PERSON

BUT AN EFFECTIVE STUDY OF 10 HOURS WILL BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT TO CRACK GATE. BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR
PREPARATION.

3. GO ON PREPARING SHORT NOTES MODULE WISE TO REVISE

EFFECTIVELY. NO NEED TO DEVOTE SPECIAL TIME TO IT. WHILE
YOU ARE TRYING TO MEMORIZE, YOU CAN JUST WRITE IT DOWN
PROPERLY IN A NOTEBOOK. STUDY THAT ON A DAILY BASIS.
THERE MUST NOT BE A SINGLE DAY WHERE YOU DONT OPEN
YOUR SHORT NOTES. THE IDEA IS NOT TO STUDY SHORT NOTES
DAILY. THE IDEA IS TO HAVE A GLANCE AT THEM TO MAINTAIN
CONFIDENCE DURING STUDIES. IT CAN BE DONE ANYTIME
ANYWHERE.

4. DO NOT MARK CORRECTED ANSWERS IN PAST YEAR PAPERS.

THIS WILL LEAD TO BIASED THINKING NEXT TIME.

5. SOMETIMES MEMORISING THE FREQUENTLY REQUIRED VALUES

ALSO HELPS.

6. DONT FOLLOW BLINDLY, IF YOU REQUIRE SOME TWEAKS

CORRESPONDING TO YOUR PERSONAL SITUATION, YOU MUST DO
THAT.

7. THE PRIMARY IDEA BEHIND SUCH SCHEDULE IS TO BREAK IT

DOWN INTO EASILY MANAGEABLE UNITS AS WE STUDY IN WORK
BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE.

8. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SCHEDULING YOU CAN DO. AFTER A

LOT OF RESEARCH THIS IS THE FINAL SCHEDULING YOU CAN DO
FOR YOUR PROJECT.

I SINCERELY HOPE IT WILL HELP MANY STUDENTS.

ALL THE BEST!!!
