Second year is just the beginning of your core subjects…you would hardly have a feel of Civil Engg by then. The ideal time to start with GATE prep is beginning of 6th sem. You would have covered some important core subjects & will also get enough time for preparation.

If you join any coaching institute, follow the classes regularly & make good notes. Even if you dont join coaching & rely on self-study, I would suggest to get notes of some good coaching institute xeroxed & study from them. These notes will also help you in college exams.

I have prepared a set of videos after cracking GATE 2017 (AIR-93 Civil Engg) to share some techniques/tips/strategies, which you can utilize to do your GATE preparation.

Some are subject specific important tips like books to be used, important topics, etc; and some are general tips relating to ideal preparation strategy, attempting the question paper and time management in GATE.

Go through them one by one; they are not long. I am sure you will find all the tips useful.
