r/GATE_CS_DA

got 606 score in gate cse and i am obc, but still no offer from any iit till round 1 and round 2.
i filled forms for iit jammu, mandi, jodhpur, indore, gandhinagar, patna, hyderabad and guwahati. still waiting.

should i wait for next rounds or start preparing again for gate 2027?
last time i prepared from youtube and free resources only. thinking this time to join a proper coaching/course like go classes.

what would you all suggest?

I have recently graduated. Given the time and my prior preparation, I am confident that I can crack GATE next year. But I need to know if pursuing M.Tech is really worth it today. What options would I have after pursuing M.Tech? Would it give me an edge over B.Tech graduates? Also, would securing a good rank in GATE help me in getting a decent job

I got Mtech CDS offer from IISC. 40k is the admission confirmation fee and 55k is hostel and mess advance. I come from a really poor background so is it possible to arrange for education loan for the hostel and mess advance after I pay the initial 40k for seat confirmation?

Notes I Used

Edit:

This community has helped me a lot while prepping for GATE CS. It's my time to give back to the community!

Edit 2:

Some random ahh tips:
- Bucket your subjects (Programming, Systems, Maths, Misc.)
- Bucket your attempts (Sure-Shot, 50-50, random guess)
- Analyze mocks, exactly know from which topic or which bucket you're bleeding marks
- Try to control the bleed, don't over attempt
- Don't take mocks too seriously, focus more on PYQs.
- Mocks are deliberately lengthier, harder and have more edge cases, to make you resilient against difficult papers.
- Prioritise Consistent patterns over Edge cases, Consistent patters are 95% of the paper
- Only go after aptitude if you're weak, else pyqs are more than enough.. i mean most of the students don't remember 8th std geometry..
- Don't pay for anything unless you can't get it for free
- Your own-notes are not a 100% necessary, there are handwritten notes on GitHub, if you're comfortable wjth those, you don't need your own.
- You can't complete 100% syllabus
- Focus on Converting your strong subjects to have 90%+ accuracy, and try to have over 30-40% accuracy in your weaker subjects..
- Always attempt MSQs for subjects you don't know if you have time
- Not every question in the exam was made to attempt, some were deliberately designed to ruin your confidence and waste your time
- Don't get too personally attached with a question, I mean its not your girlfriend, leave it if you can't solve it..
- MSQs are sometimes designed to have all 4 options to be correct or to have only 1 correct. Have proper reasoning before you eliminate or select an option.

I wanted to know good resources paid ones preferably, but open to all.

1. Need to cover all 3 subjects for GATE DA.

2. How is Dhulipala Venkata Sridhar for ai from geeks for geeks I currently have UA subscription with me.

3. How are the subject only courses by go classes for ML, DBMS and warehousing and AI, should I follow them and are those outdated in any sense? and are the video lectures old? Like do they add any new content?

Please drop your review and thoughts on where should I cover them, I need a strong GATE oriented course for these subjects.

most of us are taking GATE because our 17-year-old selves didn't know how to handle JEE. We ended up in colleges where the labs are outdated and the placements are "average" at best. GATE is your second chance to "wash" your resume. It’s not just about the 12.4k stipend (though that helps). It’s about walking into an interview at Google, Nvidia, or a top PSU and knowing they have to look at your skills, not just your college Tier. The next few months are going to suck. You’ll see your friends posting vacation photos while you’re debating "P vs NP" or struggling with OS semaphores. Let them. While they’re celebrating a 5% hike in a dead-end job, you’ll be preparing for a 300% jump into the league where you belong. If you feel like you’re behind in life, GATE is the shortcut. Get to work. 🚀. #GATE2027.
