Each of us requires a different kind of study program based upon our style/preference of studying. Normally, all students take our study material and test series. Many also take video lectures as it helps them clear concepts. A lot depends upon time available to prepare, current stage of preparation, etc. If you are still unsure, please contact us.

Yes, there may be few scholarships available for students from top colleges, students with good grades, students from EWS and for students whose parents are from teaching or defence services. Pls contact us on 9930406349 via whatsapp with details of course you wish to join and scholarship category needed, along with relevant documents.

Typically 5-6 months are required, but some students need a longer time frame based on other commitments. College students start preparation 12-18 months before GATE to have more time to practise questions as they may have semester exams as well.

We suggest about 800 to 1200 hours of preparation time overall. This can be divided into 3-4 months or 12-18 months, based on your schedule.

Steps to Prepare for GATE Agriculture Exam:

If you have 3-4 months prior preparation

  • Start with solving GATE Agriculture (AG) section tests and mocks.
  • Focus on topics that you find difficult and read theory specifically on those areas.

If you have 6-8 months prior preparation

  • Plan a schedule of 4-5 months with 2-3 weeks per subject.
  • Study theory material and solve questions from Career Avenues books.
  • After completing two subjects, take online section tests.
  • Revise all subjects and take regular mocks after finishing all topics.

If you have 10-18 months prior preparation

  • Start with subjects you have studied up to the 4th semester.
  • Study theory material and solve questions from Career Avenues books for 3-4 months.
  • Move on to subjects from the 5th, 6th, and 7th semester.
  • Take online section tests and mocks after completing each subject.

If you previously took GATE Agriculture seriously

  • Identify strong and weak areas.
  1. Strengthen strong areas and work on improving weaknesses.
