Hi everyone,
I am Sakshi Joshi, currently pursing my MS CSE at IIT Madras. Since the GATE results are out, I have wanted to write this post for a long time because I was in a similar phase as you, struggling to get a good rank but miserably failing because of a lack of consistent efforts from my side. Still, I managed to get into IIT Madras, which taught me huge life lessons. Philosophy aside, I wanted you to know that My gate rank was just 2890 when I joined as an MS student here, So the route that I followed is a bit different from that of a regular GATE student, which will still require hard work, but in case your GATE didn’t go as you expected it to be and you can’t afford to take year drop then, I think the resources which I share here and my approach might help you to get into your dream college.

My Score statistics:

GATE 2021[First Attempt]:

  • Score: 405
  • Rank: ~7800

In GATE 2021, I didn’t apply anywhere as I feel that my concepts are not very clear, and I need to prepare more rigorously for the examination. I joined GO classes this year and realised I had a lot of gaps in my concepts and also I lacked practice.

GATE 2022 [Drop year after B.Tech]

  • Score 455
  • Rank  4384

For GATE 2022, I prepared some subjects well, and have a foundation in Computer Science but, again, lacked practice, so I decided to join somewhere. I have never had industry exposure or research experience coming from a tier-3 college. I am very much interested in pursuing research in AI/ML (that was my main reason for pursuing a master's degree). This time I applied to all TOP IITs whose research area matches mine. So I applied even to PhD programs because I was not sure if a direct Ph.D. was a good thing or not, but for the sake of interview experience, I applied. So In order to gain interview experience, I applied to all top IITs, Industries, and Project Positions in some labs that were of interest. Along with it, I filled out the forms for various other exams like JEST, PGEE, ISI, and CMI.

I maintained a sheet that covers all the information regarding the application [1]. You can follow the same format for your area of interest. 

Even if you apply in any area for CS, these topics are a must

For interviews, I was watching GoClasses, Foundations CSE + Logic + Functions and relations

AI/ML

Extra Resources Which I didn’t follow at that time but might be useful for you. 

[1] Counselling sheet for Myself – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bxEyyT1XIfcud3AQ-ylQpW7enGkaIfP7cURQUgWiwIE/edit?usp=sharing 

GATE 2023[After joining as Project Associate at IIT M]

  • Score 505
  • Rank  2890

I did two courses, one Linear Algebra and the other VLSI, in December 2022, but I also switched labs within IIT Madras; hence I got shortlisted for an interview in May 2023.

 

How to apply for project positions?

Either on the IITs website page or go through their professors list, which works in your area of interest. Mail them and ask if there are any opportunities available. 
List of professors at IIT Madras CSE:http://www.cse.iitm.ac.in/listpeople.php?arg=MSQw

Labs at IIT Madras CSE: http://www.cse.iitm.ac.in/labs.php

There is a new department of AI and Data Science at IIT Madras, So do apply if you’re interested in AI/ML: https://dsai.iitm.ac.in/academics/mtech-in-data-science-and-ai/

This is for IIT Madras, but there are similar categories of admission for other IITs as well. You need to look into their website, read the brochure, and apply. Don’t just think that your GATE score is low, so you will not be called for interviews.

I got calls for 

  • IISC PhD Written  clear written + Interview: I didn’t clear the interview (Winter admission)
  • IIT Bombay Cminds – written: I didn't clear the written. (Winter admission)
  • IIT Delhi MS yardi School of AI – Didn’t attend the test (Winter, summer both)
  • IIT Kanpur written test for MS, but because it was offline hence I didn’t go (Winter + summer admission)
  • IIT Hyderabad MTech CSE RA (Winter) Written + Interview (Cleared Both)
  • IIT Hyderabad MTech AI RA (Winter) Written + Interview (Cleared Both)
  • IIIT Hyderabad PhD  Cleared written(PGEE) but didn't go for an interview. (Summer)
  • IIT Madras Research Park project associate CEET Lab – Applied through LinkedIn – Got selected and joined.
  • IIT Madras Project Position (Speech lab interview through gate portal ) – Winter admission  (Sometimes, when you apply for MS at IIT M but your score is not good enough for MS, then you might get a call for a project position it’s rare but professors may shortlist you for the project instead of ms directly so write good SOP which aligns with your interest and skills don't leave it blank. )
  • IIT Madras AI4bharat Lab Project Associate (Winter): Mailed to the professor; they took two interview rounds Deep Learning related. I Got selected and joined.

latest Notification of all the IITs forms https://www.yourpedia.in/notifications/latest-notification (This helps me a lot to keep track for deadlines )

You can make a directory for keeping all your important documents at one place. It will be handy for you last time 


[Main directory ]Post_gate
                              ------Documents

                              ------Certificates/ Resumes

                              ------Each college folder you are applying in (to save all the receipts and forms )

                              ------password.txt (to save all your portal passwords)

 

Some important points 

  • Read college admission brochures properly
  • Apply even if the data says otherwise
  • Keep learning and practising

 

ALL THE VERY BEST EVERYONE.DON’T LOSE HOPE! :)

I want to thank GO classes from the deepest of my heart for giving me things I never believed would be mine. Deepak sir and Sachine sir lectures not only help you in GATE but also for clearing the interviews, and acing the subjects here in IITs as well. 

 

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

I'm not saying this is the universal truth to achieve great results, every individual has his/her own thinking and mindset and capabilities.

So Take my input & work according to yourself. For first six months give proper time in concepts buildings of each & every topic in the syllabus....

GATE is mostly Numerical based Exam. So Focus on Numericals & Practice questions as much as you can.…

Give subject wise online test as you finish the subject, Leave mock Tests for the last 2 months....

In given test, right down the tough & different conceptual question in one handbook, study this in last 2 months ... While giving test series, Work on yourmistakes & NEVER compare yourself to others…

 

Remember -

a. Give tests Sincerely

b. Don't care about its Rank ...

Revision is MUST. Without revision you can't do anything, Our brain has a tendency to forget things in some time. So Revise finished subject in every 15 days to be sharp.…

Otherwise after one month, this subject will be new to you, and your hard work will be wasted....

If possible, make short notes, because it will be helpful in last days of revision time, you could revise concepts in 1-2 days.....

Don't make thesis in short notes, be very precise & specific....

Last Two months give your time mostly in mock tests & practice & revision....

You should solve previous year question of last 10 years Atleast 3 times....

Concepts revision should be done Atleast 10 times till the date of exam....

One thing you should remember Hard work beats talent, If talent doesn't work hard....

BEST OF LUCK, BE HAPPY, WORK HARD. ...

 

Can you tell me how you make your own notes while preparing from the books?

Reasons of not getting 90+ in cs ..

There was no need to get 90+ marks when you are getting rank 1 in 80s and top 200 are in like 70s range and last year in 2022 you were in top 500 if you get 55+ out of 100. So if you are in top 200 you are getting same college as air 1 or an equivalent college so that's why nobody thinks of getting 90+. second thing is gate cs paper is one of the conceptual papers so scoring 90+ requires a lot of accuracy and brainwork since there is time bound. other papers in which there are 90+ score it is because most of the paper is formula based and less conceptual as compared to computer science. if one is able to remember formulaes and has accuracy in calculation then he/she can easily get 60+ and with hard work he/she can push himself/herself to 90+.

 

I am not saying that other papers are easy. third thing due to which student get 90+ is competition. you have a high level of pressure to get as much marks as possible because someone is there who is preparing harder than you to get more marks. There are lot of CS jobs available and after mtech placement of cs is better than most of the branches so people are less serious for getting 90+ coz they have backup options available whereas other branches mainly compete for psu as core jobs are less in other branches as compared to cs and most of them are less interested in doing mtech due to poor placement as compared to cs branch.

How to get 90+ working hard is the only option to get 90+. for me working hard means that you should be able to attain a level such that whatever question I give you related to gate syllabus you should be able to give me the answer within 3 to 10 minutes. ways to achieve 90+ Ways to achieve it is by practicing good quality of new questions and learning each and every concept thoroughly....

whenever some asks you some concept you should be able to visualize what is happening in the question. if that is not happening then you are weak in that concept. Nowadays competition is increasing in cs , so you can expect someone to get 90+ in the coming 4 to 5 years.…

If you think about backups for GATE, you should only try for those backups and not GATE. This is what I have seen from previous people....

IIsc has released dates for written test.

I know nearly all the current/previous toppers are on GO, can you guys please share what to read for the test? I’ve read past year interviews but most of them had choice of subject to get asked on, a liberty we might not have in the written test.

$\textbf{Admission Experience}$

Experience shared by: Ritik Sunita Jain

#nsit #counseling #process
Hi friends,

I got selected for mtech cse in NSIT delhi. In this post i am telling some important information about counseling process.

First you have to fill the application form after that the institute publish a list of eligible candidates (candidates with valid GATE score). After that you have to report to the institute for counseling (all the candidates). You should have these compulsory things:-

1. Demand draft of fees
2. 10th marksheet
3. 8th sem marksheet or Provisional degree
4. Any govt ID

There are total of 20 seats in CSE dept and 10 for general candidates.
My gate score is 566, rank is 2893 gen category. And in the list published by nsit i am on 40 number instead of this i got selected on 5th number.
Many of the candidates who applied didn't appear.
(Because dtu also have the same date for physical reporting). So overall the cutoff of nsit went low for this year.

I hopes this information help you guys.
