Tips to crack gate (maths)
- Prepare 3 or 4 topics (choose according to the average marks)
- Don’t leave linear algebra because it covers an average marks of 10 and it is the easiest topic .
- MSC ( maths ) students should not prepare probability and statistics because this section is for MSC (stats.) students.
- Practice previous year question ( it is necessary)
