In this article, we shall discuss how students can utilize the Lockdown time for GATE 2021 Preparation.

GATE preparation tips

  1. Embrace the pandemic: It is important that instead of living in denial or getting scared of the situation the world is in right now, you accept and embrace the reality. With acceptance comes the next step where you actually start working for the future. So, convince yourself that this is the reality and start preparing for the next step which is the GATE 2021 examination.
  2. Get into the examination zone: If you are someone who is starting the GATE 2021 preparation, then it is important to get acquainted with the exam. For this you need to go through the GATE 2021 Syllabus, make sure you know the syllabus of your subject, so that you can plan your studies accordingly.

Next, try to read interviews or Watch MADE EASY Toppers talk to learn how toppers have prepared for the exam in the past and the books that they referred to. These talks will not only help in preparation but also encourage you to stay focussed and work harder for the exam.

  1. Complete your syllabus: Use this lockdown time to complete your GATE 2021 syllabus at least once. In this time if your syllabus is completed then you will automatically rank higher than 85% of the students and will have enough time to revise the syllabus till the final GATE 2021 examination is conducted.

Online Classes: If you are done learning all about the exam, the next is to start your preparation. While the offline classes are not running these days, you can opt for online classes. Based on your way of learning, there are various forms of online classes available:

Online Subject Classes: This will help you in understanding each topic or the subject in detail along with its applications. These classes are taken by expert teachers who have years of experience in teaching the toppers for years. These classes will be of great help if you are just starting your preparation, and not sure where to start. This will provide you a plan and course of action for GATE preparation in this lockdown.

Concept through questions: If you are preparing for a long time, and are looking to learn through the application of various theorems you have learned, then concept through questions is the perfect online course for you. This course is highly recommended for the students who have studied the GATE 2021 syllabus at least once but do not have concept understanding/ lack confidence/ Lack of continuity in the study / unable to study due to job/ have exam fear etc.

  1.  Add to your knowledge: If you are someone who has been preparing for a while and not sure how to utilize this pandemic, then an extra knowledge about your subject will be of great help. While the syllabus for the GATE 2021 examination is fixed, this extra knowledge will really help you during the interview. So, gather more information and add to your knowledge. Along with just the subject knowledge, you must also learn about your state, country, and the world and add charm to your personality through knowledge.
  1. Relax, Take A Break!

Sometimes, too much pressure and anxiety call for a much-needed break. A break from the monotonous lifestyle that we have become used to. A break from the demands of life, the routine, and from the studies as well. Most often than not, people do not understand the importance of taking a break and end up feeling stressed out. Especially with the ongoing pandemic, most of the time the mind is filled with panic, anxiety, stress, and too much worrying. Therefore, it is important to take out time to relax now.

While a vacation or an outing is not an option, you can just stay at home and relax. Thus, it is going to be a staycation where you stay indoors and rest and feel relaxed. Take a break from all your regular responsibilities and spend time doing things that make you happy and keeps you relaxed. Watch your favorite movies, watch sci-fi movies, watch scientific documentaries to make the most of your break.

  1. Online Group studies

Group Studies seems like a distant dream, but not anymore. You can utilize the video call facility for online group studies with your friends and other fellow students. Utilize the Zoom, Skype or WhatsApp to get in touch with your friends who are also preparing for the GATE 2021 examination and together start studying by keeping each other motivated.

  1. Time Management

While we long for more time always, with too much time in our hands during this lockdown time management has become an issue. Without time management your GATE 2021 preparation can go haywire. So, it is important that you make a plan and manage your 24-hour day judiciously to make the most out of it.

  1. Take care of your mental health

Concentrate on having a positive brain and a solid body. Regardless of how awful the COVID-19 circumstance is, never let negative contemplations and dread get the better of you. Have no space for antagonism in your brain. Assume responsibility for your brain and keep satisfaction as your objective. Having an uplifting standpoint towards life will keep your substance and quiet. With a sound brain, you will naturally concentrate on having a solid body. Make sure to remain fit. There is no compelling reason to stress over the exercise centers being shut and being in lockdown. Our body can get the activity it needs whenever anyplace. Practice home exercises, work out, begin rehearsing yoga, mess with your canine, or move to your main tune! Taking such activities will most likely lift your state of mind and will continue feeling quiet. Accept this open door to have a superior body, brain, and life.

  1. Revision: Studying is important for any exam, but what creates the most difference during the final paper is revision. It is important to revise the topic you have studied from time to time, with so much time available during the lockdown, you can revise each topic frequently and ensure that you remember everything in the final examination.

These times are tough and we are not sure till when it will last. So instead of waiting, it is time to act now. Start your preparation for GATE 2021 during this pandemic with the GATE Preparation tips and ensure success in the exam. It is important that you do not let this pandemic affect your mental health and just accept it as reality. Once that is done start with your GATE 2021 preparation.

The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.
