This section provides the important books, previous year question papers, and preparation tips for the students planning on appearing for GATE 2023.

How to Prepare for GATE 2023 Chemical Engineering?

While preparing for GATE Chemical Engineering 2023 candidates have to keep few things in mind that first of all, they should check Exam Pattern and Syllabus. This way you will come to know about the major topics, marking scheme, etc. For your convenience, we have already discussed the topics above.

Now your next step should be focused on building a good preparation plan. Candidates are required to follow a proper study strategy, expert guidance, and good study material for effective results. Here are some effective preparation tips to crack GATE Chemical Engineering:

1. Section Wise Preparation

There are 3 major sections in the exam and candidates are advised to prepare section-wise. 

• For General Aptitude section, focus more on reasoning questions, verbal aptitude, numerical aptitude but do not spend much time preparing for this section.
• For Engineering Mathematics section, candidates require a lot of practice, and to do the same you have to give special attention to this section. With daily practice try to make it your strongest section.
• For Chemical Engineering section, you have to prepare for all the major topics. First, go for the topics you are good at and then move to the difficult topics. This section has a weightage of 70% so practice as much as you can. 

2. Practice Mock Test

Mock tests are one of the best methods to prepare for the exam. They give you the feel of the real exam as they are time-bound and also introduce you to the concepts that you might miss during the preparation. Every year exam conducting body releases mock tests series for candidates. You can take these mock tests or you can also buy the mock test series from some coaching institutes. But remember one thing do not take any mock tests before completing your syllabus.

3. Time Management

Time management is one of the key elements in the success of a candidate. For some candidates, 2 months are enough for preparation whereas for other candidates even 6 months are very few. Here are some tips that will help candidates in managing their time for studies:

• The candidate must give a minimum of 5-6 hours for the study every day.
• Further divide your 5-6 hours time in moring, afternoon, evening or night shifts. This way you can have breaks in between. 
• You can give 1 hour everyday day in the morning to prepare some key points. Also, make all your notes in good handwriting.
• Devote 1 hour especially for revision as timely revisions are quite necessary.
• Do not spend more than 2 hours on one topic. If a topic is taking a long time then you must leave it for tomorrow and move on with a new topic for today. This way you can cover maximum topics. 

4. Previous Years Question Papers 

The question papers will help you in getting an idea about the type of questions asked, their difficulty level, and weightage given to the topics in the previous years' papers. Observer the trend of questions that were asked in previous years. This way you can skip some topics or focus more on other important topics. This will help you to prepare in an organized manner.
