Hello aspirant,

If you have a stronghold of the basics of your degree subjects, you can proceed with self-study. If you are starting from absolute zero and do not know the course subjects whatsoever it is best to go for coaching.

With self-study, you will have to put in a lot more effort finding the right resources to guide you with the preparation for the exam. If you are someone who can cope with self-studying, you can very well go further. There are several online resources available like made easy, YouTube videos that can guide you along the process.

Coming to coaching, the best part about coaching is that you will learn the shortcuts that will help you to solve questions easily. You will also know which chapters to learn and which to skip, which will save a lot of time. Even though it is expensive it is worth it.

You will be provided with the study material and also assignments, that will access your progress now and then. A competitive exam like GATE is a tough exam and a little guidance does not harm. You need to access where you stand with your course subjects and then make a decision about whether to go for self-study or coaching.

I, however, recommend going for coaching and side by side self-study. Revise all the concepts daily. You should know that if you are thorough with your college textbooks, know the shortcuts to solve NATs, and also have practiced a lot you are sure to crack GATE with a high score.

GATE registration will start on August, 30th. You have 6 months until preperation, start accessing where you stand with your course subjects. Make a note of the topics or subjects that you are weak in, and also your strong subjects. Start first with your weak subjects because it will take time to build those basics, practice them, revise your concepts daily and always solve previous year question papers. GATE does not have repetitive questions. Every year the paper is set in such a way that the questions are not repeated. Solving previous year's question papers will give you an idea about the difficulty level.

I hope this information helps!

Thank you!
