From a Local Tier-4 College to IIT : My GATE Preparation Story as a below-average student.Hello , my name is Bodhisattwa Dasgupta . This year I got 66.29 Marks and AIR 123 in GATE (CS) – 2021 , and this was my first attempt in GATE. It’s not the best rank , but decent enough to fetch me a good IIT hopefully ( hence the title...)My Background:I’m currently a final-year student , pursuing my B.Tech in CS at Future Institute of Technology , Kolkata. It’s a Local Private College here in Kolkata which was established just in 2015. I never was a good student at anything throughout my school days and most of my college life. I remember in 11th class Mid-Year exam I failed every subject other than English and CS , the amount of judgement I got from my classmates and teachers were tremendous.For those who are wondering , I attempted JEE Mains 2 Times, 1st time I got ~1 Lac Rank and in my 2nd attempt also I got ~70k Rank. So nothing to write home about. All throughout my academics I absolutely despised subjects like Physics , Chemistry ..etc , the ONLY thing that made sense to me and I enjoyed was CS ( in school-life it was basic coding and DS stuff.. ) and bits and pieces of Maths.So naturally I choose CSE over other branches in better colleges and this was the BEST decision of my life.My GATE Story:I first heard about GATE from my friends in 2nd Sem and then after a few days of research I decided to prepare seriously for the same. The idea of studying CS from Top IITs intrigued me a lot and not just that , an All-India based exam based fully on CS got me very excited.I never had any Coaching till this point in my life , but since I decided to prepare seriously I enrolled @ ACE Coaching back in Jan 2019.But unfortunately for the entire year ( from 2019 to Dec 2019 ) I only attended the classes and didn’t put much effort myself , as a result in Late Dec 2019 , I found myself at a very bad position , I had all my class-notes but couldn’t recall any concepts. (MISTAKE #1)So from Jan 2020 , I decided that I’ll put consistent effort from now on , and try to get a sub-500 Rank. I made a time-table and started preparing accordingly. For each subject I used to give ~2 weeks , and in that 2 weeks first I used to learn the concept , then look at examples and then finally solve the PYQs in parallel. Using this approach I more or less got over with my syllabus by July 2020.In the month of July I wrote my First Full-Length Test and I got ~62 Marks in that. ( The test was an easy one. ) , But here I noted that I scored very less in aptitude section , but I ignored it. And I continued to ignore Aptitude for the remainder of my preparation ( MISTAKE #2 ) , why this is a mistake you’ll see later on.From Aug onwards I decided to do revision and I did so by solving all the PYQs again, this time From GO-PDF. ( Previously did from ME Book ) , and this blew my mind. For each and every problem , extremely detailed solutions were available at GO along with necessary references . And this not only helped me to Learn more BUT ALSO helped in developing a habit of reading standard papers/articles/wikis/books. Which I feel is going to be very useful later down the line for M.Tech.From Sept onwards I started writing tests more often and regularly. After writing the tests I used to rectify my mistakes.My marks in Test-Series are:( Avg / High / Low )Made-Easy = (74 / 87 / 47)ACE = (82 / 91 / 68)Applied-GATE = (78 / 89 / 65)Looking at my performance I assumed that I’d surely get a sub-100 Rank ( MISTAKE #3 ) . This mindset would prove detrimental in my preparation.Things were going pretty good until in Mid-Jan we tested +ve for COVID , while it didn’t affect much but after that point there was a noticeable dip in my test performance. Still I was fairly confident with my preparation.During the GATE Exam:I got allotted Set-2 which was a bit lengthy and quite different from previous years. First Question was the Little-Endian One , I never solved such questions before but I knew the concept clearly so was able to get it Correct . Same thing happened for the next 5-6 Questions. I was able to solve correctly but took lots of time and my fear-level was increasing as the Question types were pretty uncommon.After going through the first 25 Questions , I had only attempted 13 Questions and left 12 totally. Now Panic started and every negative thoughts came to mind .. “Will I even cross the 50 Marks threshold?” , “Only 2hrs left , this year gone to waste….” such thoughts. (MISTAKE #4) . Since I already had made some assumptions about my performance earlier (see Mistake-3), this was exponentially more difficult.Because of this Panic-mode , I made mistakes which I could’ve easily avoided otherwise.Lastly , since I didn't do much prep for aptitude , this really showed in my exam. As I only got 9/15 in Aptitude . Even IF I had 13/15 in aptitude , then probably I would’ve been in Top 60. This is my Biggest Regret YET.And In retrospect ,It’s quite Ironical that if I didn’t make assumptions about my performance before the exam , then I wouldn’t have panicked as hard and would’ve been able to meet my expectations.Conclusion and Advice for future Aspirants:Does Test Series Marks and Actual Marks have any correlation? Yes and No .Don’t make assumptions based on test-series marks . If you are not getting good marks , don’t be under confident , analyze and move on. If you are getting good marks , don’t be overconfident , analyze and move on. But certainly if you are performing well in Tests , that’s great and indicative of good preparation.Revision should be done consistently , otherwise not possible to retain all the concepts clearly. Even if for 10min , just go through your own notes and that is good enough.NEVER Ignore aptitude , because it can make or break your exam. I ignored and paid the price . So take necessary steps and don’t make the same mistake that I did.How many Hours should I prepare? Doesn’t matter. But consistency should be maintained even if its 1hr a day.Learn to manage pressure . I didn’t handle pressure during the exam well and suffered the consequences.Still at the end of the day , I’m quite satisfied with my rank and planning to join IIT-Madras or IIT-Kharagpur. My learning journey has just started and I still have a long way to go.GATE taught me that your college / background etc NOTHING MATTERS . The only thing that matters is your own Will to Learn and Self-Belief. If you believe in your own ability and put in the necessary effort , then you can surely get it.I know I don’t have the best rank , but if you have any questions or doubts regarding preparation , please feel free to ask. I’ll try my best to answer.Thanks for reading.

Hello,My name is Sukanta Ghosh. I'm from Kolkata. I graduated in the year 2016 from Kalyani Government Engineering College. Although I got placed at Wipro but didn't join for some personal reason. I failed two times in GATE exam in 2016 and 2017. In between IBPS PO 2016 was my first banking exam in which I failed in mains. That was the time when I took banking exams seriously. So here is the list of banking/insurance exams I tried before clearing IBPS PO 2017.IBPS PO 2016- failed to clear overall and sectional cut-off of ENG & GA (got only 49/200)RBI Assistant 2016- failed in prelims (got 73, cut off was 81)NIACL AO 2016- failed in prelims (got 56, cut off was 65)IPPB Officer Scale I 2016- failed in MainsSBI PO 2017- failed to clear final cutoff by 1.46BOB PO PGBDF 2017- failed to clear written overall cut off by 0.5NICL AO 2017- failed in MainsOICL AO 2017- failed in prelimsRBI Assistant 2017- failed in prelims (got 82.5 from Kolkata region)ECGC PO 2018 - failed to clear writtenIBPS RRB Officer Scale 1 2017- allotted 'Bangiya Gramin Vikash Bank' with a final score of 47.02IBPS PO 2017- allotted 'Canara Bank' with a final score of 50.78 and all India rank of 540In IBPS RRB Officer Scale 1 2017,Marks in Prelims - 53.50Marks in Mains - 89.06 (Cut off was 70.75)Interview- 57/100Total Final Score- 47.02 (Cut off was 45.98)In IBPS PO 2017,Marks in Prelims - 55.50Marks in Mains - 104.00 (Cut off was 82.00)Interview- 69/100Total Final Score- 50.78 (Cut off was 47.04)So here is what I followed or what I would like to recommend.English:- English in banking exams is all about your Reading skill. The more you read the more you score. Reading The Hindu newspaper religiously will help you for sure. Practicing small quizzes from Adda247, Grade up android app, Sanctum English facebook page/telegram channel and then taking mocks from Oliveboard is more than enough for English section. Reading The Hindu will help you in different ways i.e. English, GA, Descriptive writing, and Interview.Useful links:The Hindu Editorial: http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/editorial/Sanctum English FB page:https://www.facebook.com/sanctumenglishSanctum English telegram channel: Sanctum EnglishFor vocabulary: https://www.vocabulary.com/Bankersadda English Quiz: http://www.bankersadda.com/p/english-language-quizzes.htmlGA:- GA has mainly 3 parts i.e. Current affairs, Banking Awareness, and Static awareness. For current affairs, I think Hindu review of Bankersadda, Study IQ weekly Videos, Affairscloud Quizzes should be sufficient. For banking awareness, 30 lectures of 'Learning Space' along with the compendium of Affairscloud should be enough. Static awareness part can be covered from any small pdf available on the internet. For revision Bankersadda Capsule is highly recommended.Useful links:Bankersadda Hindu Reviews: http://www.bankersadda.com/p/mont.htmlStudy IQ Education Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrC8mOqJQpoB7NuIMKIS6rQAffairscloud Quiz: https://www.affairscloud.com/current-affairs-quiz-questions-and-answers/Learning Space Materials: https://mega.nz/#F!jjgB3TYA!HVunHtRBgMQ2PpgFC08DeQBankersadda Capsules: http://www.bankersadda.com/p/special.htmlAffairscloud Compendium: https://goo.gl/BM4e8BQuant:- The key factor here is Calculation speed. Either you have to memorize shortcuts or you have to increase your calculation speed if you want to go with the conventional method. Try to calculate most of the part in mind only. The less you use pen and paper the more you can save time for you. 'Mathsapp' android app by Meritshine can help you increasing your calculation speed. Quant lecture Series by Abhishek Gupta Sir and Samir Kumar Sir in Meritshine youtube Channel is the best in the market in my opinion. At the end of the day practicing from mocks will help you a lot in quant. Oliveboard and Practicemock test series are strongly recommended for the quant section.Useful links:Meritshine Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM97u-jxdf5X_Blg__GJawgMeritshine Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412221952132783Mathsapp link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meritshine.mathfunSarvesh Verma Book: https://goo.gl/amvM1wReasoning:- For reasoning also mocks have a greater role to play.

I won't say that other mocks are bad but the questions provided here are good in quality. I also like the thing that oliveboard provides a lot of extra information in each answer of GA section. Apart from oliveboard, you can choose mock series like Practicemock, testbook, adda247, gradeup etc.Interview/GD:- Prepare HR questions, banking awareness, basic questions from your graduation stream, personal questions and questions related to your hobby. Try to make your own opinion about recent hot topics. Be confident and always wear a smile on your face during interview.Useful links:35 Interview Questions suggested by Abhishek Sir of Meritshine: https://goo.gl/QjuQctSome tips:* Do smart work.* There's a lot of information, videos, Pdfs, mocks in the market.

I cannot speak for other professors, but if I receive an e-mail from a student (or a prospective one), I would like to see the following.A subject line, short and crisp. Never send any mail without a subject line, even if you’re mailing me something while sitting right in front of me, AND I’m expecting your mail.No indentations in the body of the mail, please. This used to be a letter writing style, but now it is outdated. Follow the modern block style[1].No over the top salutations, please. Just a simple Hello/Hi/Dear would suffice.Do not use my name and ‘Sir’ together, in the salutation. You may use either, depending on how well you know me.And if you know me well, you need not call me `Sir’.Use punctuation properly, with correct spacing. This is something that gets my goat easily, and believe me, you do not want that.Do not use more than three paragraphs in the mail. No matter how serious it is.Do not use more than 4–5 sentences per paragraph.If the length of the mail exceeds three paragraphs, that’s a red flag. It means you need to compose an attachment.If you are sending me your paper, report/thesis, or resume, send them in PDF format. I ignore word files unless they are sent to me specifically for editing.Most e-mail tools come with a spell checker; please use it. Wrong spellings are another red flag for me.Most importantly, come to the point quickly. That will help me take a better, quicker decision on what to do with your message.Do not use words/sentences completely with block letters. It is equivalent to shouting at the reader. Acronyms are an exception, of course.Thou shalt not use Comic Sans font. Repeat after me, ‘I shall not use…’The ideal font size should be 11 or 12. Anything above that is a red flag, and anything below 10 means I need to strain my eyes.And I don’t wish to strain my eyes.Footnotes[1] What is block format when writing a paper or letter?
