GATE EY study plan

Map the full Engineering/Technology/Architecture (undergraduate) syllabus against the official GATE EY paper structure and mark each subsection as strong, weak, or untouched

Solve 30 previous-year-style numerical problems in the highest-weight undergraduate core areas and log every error with its root cause category

Rebuild the standard formula and derivation sheet for the core undergraduate subjects from memory, then correct it against a textbook

Set up a timed practice log with per-question time and accuracy so later weeks can compare against a baseline

Drill the two weakest undergraduate core areas identified in week 1 using worked examples followed by 40 fresh numericals

Derive, without notes, the 15 most frequently used relations in those areas and check each derivation for sign and unit errors

Practice 20 conceptual multiple-choice items on undergraduate fundamentals and justify each answer in one written sentence

Reduce average solve time on core numericals to under the target per-question budget

Complete the remaining undergraduate subsections by solving at least 10 problems per subsection

Start the postgraduate Science syllabus by classifying each topic into memorization, derivation, or problem-solving categories

Identify the three Science topics with the largest expected question share and build a first-pass concept summary for each

Attempt a mixed set of 25 questions drawn from both domains under a strict timer

Work through the highest-weight Science topics using first-principles derivations rather than rote recall

Solve 50 postgraduate-level Science problems spanning at least four distinct topics

Write a condensed error log linking every mistake to a specific concept gap rather than to carelessness

Re-test the undergraduate weak areas from weeks 1 and 2 to confirm retention

Cover the second tier of Science topics and produce a one-page summary each linking definitions, governing equations, and typical question patterns

Solve 40 mixed-difficulty Science problems with at least half at the harder end

Practice stating assumptions and boundary conditions explicitly before solving any applied Science problem

Cut the error rate on previously missed Science question types by half compared with week 4

Revisit every topic flagged as weak in the week 4 mock and solve 5 targeted problems per flagged topic

Build a single cross-domain formula and constants sheet limited to two pages

Complete two sectional timed tests, one per domain, and compare accuracy against the week 4 baseline

Eliminate any topic still untouched in either domain by at least reading a core reference and solving 3 problems

Take two full-length timed mocks under exam conditions with no interruptions and no notes

Analyze each mock question by question, tagging errors as concept, calculation, misread, or time pressure

Rehearse a question-selection strategy that banks easy marks first and returns to hard items later

Rebuild speed on the 20 slowest question types by repeating them in short timed bursts

Review only the master formula sheet, error log, and topic summaries, avoiding any new material

Take one final full-length timed mock and target a score above the week 7 average

Confirm every syllabus subsection is marked covered and resolve any remaining flagged items

Finalize exam-day logistics including timing plan, allowed materials, and a rest schedule for the last two days
