Gate Classes in Lucknow

If you looking for Gate Classes in Lucknow, then you are the right placed. Koshika Academy offer the best Gate Coaching Program to help students for GATE Exam. We takes care of your overall preparation for the GATE Exam as well as other Competitive Exams. We offer best Coaching module with under the expert faculty. We focus on training for GATE that significantly increase the students chances of success. We are focused on quality and value education which make you really ready for Gate competitive exam.
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a premier examination for securing admission into higher education programmers, commonly referred to as Masters, at Technical and Research institutions. The purpose of GATE is not just to conduct test for seeking admissions but also to identify the potential engineers in various disciplines and assist them in choosing their areas of research to pursue. The GATE score is also used by some PSUs for their recruitment. Examinations for all the papers will be conducted as Computer Based Tests only. Our faculties are GATE toppers- graduates of IITs / IISc and subject experts. We teach basic fundamentals in the classroom. Our focus is to develop the “basic concepts” of the students and make them to “solve high standard GATE Problems” in short span of time.

  2. Divide the Topics broadly into Strong, Weak and to be read properly.
  3. Keep daily, weekly and monthly targets.
  4. ensure you have a clear view of what is to be studied.
  5. Make Short Notes while you study as this is will be helpful during revision.
  6. Write down Formulae that you find difficult to remember so that they are handy for revision.
  7. Don’t wait for completing a portion of the syllabus. Start practising with test papers as soon as you done with a section or topic.
  8. Keep the solved problems separately indexed so that you can refresh and revise later when required.
  9. Revision is important but analysis is much more important. You should know where you stand in terms of your preparation at every stage as then you can improve where needed to march towards success.
