How to crack GATE
If you prepare smartly, cracking GATE is no big deal. Solve as much question
papers as you can. Study portions based on previous question papers. This
worked brilliantly for me.
Most questions in GATE are very basic. Your understanding of the concepts is
what they test.
I started preparation right after i applied for the exam. Started solving old
question papers. The first 2 paper took me two whole months. By the time they
Followers
were finished, most of the portions were covered. the next set of papers went
quickly. I have collected most material from the internet in the blog, and it will
save you some time. Keep a note of all formulae and conversions. You don't
have to be a math wizard, just have to know basic math. Try searching for
topics on youtube, videos are a quick way to learn
They will mostly ask pritzker prize winning architects. So go through the
pritzker prize website. Also go through the tall buildings. Those are some
things missed out in the blog.
You can use some elimination techniques with caution for answers you know
partly. Do not attempt answers you do not know at all if there is negative
marking. Numerical entry questions do not have negative marking, so try to
attempt them all (do conform if rules are changed)
for eg
Q.43 Match the features in Group I with their architectural periods in Group
II
Group I Group II
P. Caryatids 1. Roman
Q. Hypocaust 2. Gothic
R. Pylons 3. Greek
S. Lofty Pinnacles 4. Egyptian
5. Romanesque
(A) P1, Q5, R4, S2 (B) P5, Q1, R3, S2
(C) P3, Q2, R5, S4 (D) P3, Q1, R4, S2

I knew that pylons are egyptian, there are 2 options with R4, a and d.
I was not sure if caryatids are greek P3 or roman P4..., option a has p3 and
option d has p4
usually correct matches appear in more than one option, you can see p3
repeats here, so i went with option d, and it turned out to be correct.
Good Luck
