Importance of Core-Subjects
- Core subjects must be prioritized as they plan an important role in building overall rank as their weightage is maximum
- These subjects are the foundation of other subjects as these makes your basics and concepts strong which helps in overall preparation.
Focus on Important Topics
- Smart Work must be added to Hard work for an exam like GATE.
- After getting familiar with the syllabus, candidates should go through the previous year papers and must analyze the questions asked and their weightage. Find the weightage analysis and important topics below:

Proper Study Plan
- Once you are familiar with the syllabus and pattern, then you need to frame a proper schedule subject and topic-wise.
- To keep the mind fresh, allot some time for relaxation as well.
- Sticking to this plan throughout is the key to success, hence consistency is important for GATE EE 2021.
