I am expecting 55 marks this yea(2017) in set2...in 2016 my normalized score was 52.81 and gate score was 664 and AIR 1025..

I have good academic %s in 10th, 12th and have 8.6 CGPA in BE.

I didnt have any research paper published.

Is there any slight possiblity to get a call for any interview from IIT bombay or other old IITs ? either for RA or TA or integrated Ph.D n M.Tech.....or IIIT H or NSU/NTU.
I just want to get interviewed by them once before I drop Gate.

Although I had very good grip on core CS concepts, even in GO tests i scored 60+ marks..in ME also was doing well..did geeksforgeeks mocks with 65+ mrks..solved GFs tests..I didn't touched any institute's notes...didnt joined any institue neither this year nor last year...prepared sincerely from ref books.. .I don't know what went wrong, but somehow I failed this year :( I don't know what i should do..all I know is I don't want to do 9to5 job in some MNC where they hire us to do their left overs..testing..data entry....i don't want to end up filling excel sheets..

Is there anything I can do....any suggestion will be much appreciated

Hi,

It is worth dropping an year for GATE to get an admit in IISc or one of the IITs. My suggestions will be that if you are dropping, join a good GATE institute. It will help you. Most of the time when we are preparing alone, we loose a sense of how good our preparation is as there is nothing to comapre it with. Joining an institute will help you maintain a reality check and those frequent test series there will help you to correctly assess your preparation.

When we drop (speaking from personal experience), we feel like we have almost an year and we can take things slow. But time will fly away in whipe. So do not waste time. Start early and finish early so that later you can devote more time to solve questions, which I feel is the key to crack GATE. Also when we join some coaching institute we feel like making friends and hang out with them after classes go to movies etc etc, please do not do that. There will be plenty of time to do that in the IISc or IITs. Be a loner, focus on the studies and remove all the distractions from your life. It will help a lot.

Hope this helps. All the best.
