Hello Vikrant.

For an examination to be cracked you need to prepare well for it from the starting. There are many students who prepare for the same exam for the same seat. It is not possible for someone to prepare in the last moment and crack it. Even if you do, it will not provide you with the best result. No one can help you in preparing it like this. So study with your full concentration. Sit on you study table and plan a routine. Follow it thoroghly.  Study for around 1 hr and take a rest for 5mins. Drink water to freshen your mind. Listen to a music in the 5min break. Your brain needs rest for a while and then continue study. Follow your routine positively. Preplan your day.  Solve past year papers and quizes. Keep at least 1-2 months for revision. Study for 10-12hrs a day as 4 months is not sufficient for a exam like gate. Devote most of your time in studying. Revise what you study. Sleep early and wake up early. Hope for the best.
