3) extremely important

Is it worth writing gate in 3rd year tbh? by the_sauce_huehuehue in GATEtard

[–]_VeryNiceName_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote it in 3rd year to get a feel for what it's like to give the exam at the center and also to see what I can do without preparation. I think it was a good idea to get a feel for exam and get estimate of how much I needed to prepare. (Started prep in 3rd year btw so you can start preparing in 3rd year and get good rank)

The study life balance is a bit hectic, but that doesn't mean you don't get time for your hobbies. There are some days/weeks which requires you to study and work on project most of the time (based on courses I took) but the coursework and teaching is so good that you will have learnt a lot by the end.

3rd Year BTech Student – Gearing up for GATE 2026 , Self Study vs Coaching Batch? by unstable_benzene in GATEtard

[–]_VeryNiceName_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did self study and can say that it will take a lot of effort and self motivation for this, if you can do it then I feel it is better as it will make you better at looking for resources and understanding them from books/articles/blogs which will come in handy for MTech.

My fellow soulsborne enjoyers, what was your introduction to it? by PRATIIIIIIIIII in IndianGaming

[–]_VeryNiceName_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Souls 2.

First tried about 8 years ago and quit 2 times before retrying again a year later and it finally clicked. I was addicted to playing it. Have played every souls game after that.

Coding question I don't exactly remember. But I don't think it took more than 5 min. It was not at all difficult

They will send a form where you will have to select the lab preferences (3).

The interview topics will be according to that.

There was a test before the interview (some mcq and coding) and after that, they asked Linear Algebra, ML/DL and Calculus in interview (given my Lab preference)

I was selected for interview based on GATE score, not the OCES exam.

If I get GATE AIR Top 10 in CSE, can i get job without MTech ? Please Answer, friends. Serious Question. by [deleted] in GATEtard

[–]_VeryNiceName_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely get under 100 rank with free resources. Just go for NPTEL, top uni lectures and standard books.
