What should be the proper strategy to excel in both GATE and ESE simultaneously?
Here are some strategies that can help you prepare for GATE and ESE simultaneously.
- Compare the syllabus of GATE and ESE. Go through the previous years' questions of both. The technical portion of both examinations overlaps a lot. The major difference is question patterns and styles. Different types of questions are asked on the same topics. GATE tests aptitude for solving technical questions. While ESE puts more emphasis on technical details.
- Figure out which subjects contribute more to which examinations.
- If you have less time, start with GATE preparation. The topics can be covered easily and in less time. Once you are through GATE preparation, you can solve ESE questions without much difficulty.
- Focus on GATE and ESE preparations only.
First, go through the syllabus thoroughly. Once you are done with the syllabus, go through your notes and solve previous years' questions. Solve test series, and review hard questions. Analyze the tests you give and work on your mistakes.

GATE and ESE (Engineering Service Exam) are almost similar, so preparing for one exam ensures complete preparation of at least one portion of the other.
Given below is the strategy of preparing simultaneously for GATE and ESE.
ESE:
Technical Subjects:
-
Read the theory properly and solve ESE objective questions.
-
Solve all the previous year Gate questions of ECE, EE, IN streams.
-
Solve ESE Test series only, do not start with the GATE test series.
Non-Technical Subjects:
-
For these subjects, students must put in the daily effort.
-
Each day 15-20 minutes for this is enough.
If you keep up this practice sincerely for 5-6 months, there is a good chance you will be able to score more than 300 in ESE prelims.
GATE:
Now that ESE is dealt with, go for the GATE test series. As the theory portion has already been covered, start with solving questions. Give at least 10 full syllabus mock tests for GATE.
How to Attempt GATE questions:
- Attempt all the 1 mark questions.
- Go for the aptitude and English section. This will provide a break from all the formula questions which have been solved.
- For the last 30 questions, attempt which questions are easier so that there is time to get back to questions that could not be solved.
After the prelims of GATE, you will have 4-5 months to prepare for Mains. In the meantime attempt the previous years’ question paper of UPSC to get an idea about what is asked in the examination. Read standard books to clear basic concepts. Practice is the key to score well in these exams. So, attempt mack-tests for Main as well.
