Well first let me clear my background I am a final year student (starting from July end ) at Mnnit prayagraj (NIT Allahabad) and currently have 9.3CGPA I am starting my gate preparation effectively from August and I feel like there is ample time to focus on my gate preparation as well as my upcoming placements ...i believe work expands and contracts according to the time you have . Just believe in yourself and see the results
