How is your practice...

Dear All,
I hope, all of you might knowing your GATE 2015 exam timings. As I told earlier in my previous post, I would like remind you one of my student tip:

Try to give more MOCK GATE tests as per your exam time. For example if your GATE 2015 exam is scheduled from 2 pm to 5 pm, give MOCK TEST daily during the same time slot. So that your mind and body will co operate very comfortably during the exam

Dont neglect health and try to maintain 6-7 hours of good sleep.

Dear GATE 15 aspirants

Dear All,
Hope all of you are busy with GATE 15 preparation. I too busy in classes and not giving any updates in my blog. I got little time today before starting the class.
I would like to remind you few things before the exam

1. Consolidate all of your preparation by one month before the exam
2. Try to give more MOCK GATE tests as per your exam time. For example if your GATE 15 exam is scheduled from 2 pm to 5 pm, give MOCK TEST daily during the same time slot. So that your mind body will co operate very comfortably during the exam
3. Try to solve as many as problems with online calculator and get familiar with it
4. Topic wise tests are very important and Grand tests are much more important
5. Dont be alone and dont get panic and discuss with friends as much as you can
6. Have healthy diet and proper sleep (min 6-7 hrs of deep sleep daily) very much essential
7. Try to maintain summary of every topic and formulas in pocket notes and revise regularly. Other wise paste it on your room walls and revise frequently

S7 & S8 completed

Dear All,

I want share one point with all of you.
I used to complete very few batches without using the word "Please be silent" while class is going on

Now a days, most of the batches will do lot of noise and will not respect the teachers.
I completed one batch recently and greatness of that batch is every one is very quiet and impressed me a lot. I gave my best lecture for them in very tight schedule and great pressure as they are last short term batch for this year
I hope, I will not come across such batch again and thanks a lot to S7 & S8 batch students for your decency. I am lucky if such batches will come in future.

But I apologize to S7&S8 (from institute side) for the disturbances created in the form of building changing and drilling noise during classes. I wish a very great success for you in the future. All the best and GOD bless you

With best wishes,

Major change in GATE 2015

Dear All,
I hope all of you are aware of Organizing Institute (OI) of GATE 2015 is IIT Kanpur
IIT K conducted GATE exam in 2007. Have a look at that paper once as reference before you making the preparation plan
This year major change in the exam is "Candidates are not allowed to use their own calculators and they will be provided with an online scientific calculator which has to be used to answer the questions"
As per my experience, If you are not having enough practice, you will face lot of difficulty in the exam
My sincere suggestion to all the GATE 2015 candidates is to get practice with online calculators available in the internet.
For practice, have a look at the following links:
http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/scientific.htm
http://web2.0calc.com/

All the best

Dear All,
I have prepared solutions for power electronics questions for GATE 2014
Here is my take away in PE from three sets of papers.

1. I found the number of questions are same in all three sets
2. Number of one mark question = 1
3. Number of two mark questions = 3
4. Total marks from PE is 7 marks in each set of paper.

I noticed the priority for all subjects is same in all three sets but students felt different due to so many reasons. Any how I dont want to discuss all those now
