Have 8 passes for Aditya Gadhvi Day 4 that I won’t be able to use anymore since our plans got cancelled.
They cost me around ₹1,450 each after convenience fee + delivery charges.
Not looking to make a profit, just trying to recover what I paid.
DM if interested. Can share booking/proof and other details before you buy.
TL;DR:
Tier 3 college student working as a Backend Developer (₹55k/month, very flexible WFH job). IIT has always been my dream, so I want to prepare seriously for GATE 2027. Confused whether to leave the job and study full-time or continue the job alongside preparation.
I’m from a Tier 3 college (2022–26 batch) and currently working as a Backend Developer at a startup. My main tech stack is Django and PostgreSQL.
Current compensation is around ₹55k/month. I’ve been here for 9 months now (converted from intern to full-time). Before this, I also did 2 internships totaling around 12 months — one in frontend and one in backend.
The thing is, IIT has always been a dream for me. Since I couldn’t crack JEE, I always thought I would give GATE seriously someday and pursue M.Tech from a good IIT.
I recently purchased the Physics Wallah Parakram 2027 batch. So far, I’ve completed only 2 subjects: C Programming and TOC.
Now I’m confused about whether I should:
Some important points about my current job:
Right now, I study around 2–3 hours daily. Mostly I watch lectures and solve the questions discussed in them.
I feel like my current job is flexible, which makes me think I should continue working while preparing. But at the same time, I’m worried whether that would be enough for a top GATE rank and IIT admission.
People who prepared alongside a job or left their job for GATE — what would you suggest in my situation?
