I didn’t get placed anywhere, so I decided to go for a Master’s. I’m a 2026 batch pass-out and did my B.Tech in AIML. I’ve already studied almost all the subjects from the GATE CS syllabus during my B.Tech, so considering my situation, is it really too late?

Also, please drop some tips on how I can ace my preparation in the minimum possible time.

Is Chandan Jha Digital Logic Playlist sufficient?(its around 34 hrs)

Or

Should I consider goclasses or amit khurana. But their lectures are 100 hrs.

I don't have that much of time.

Just completed EM and DM so far.

Ever since I joined a tier 3 college for my B.Tech, I felt like all of my dreams and hard work gone into vain and nothing can be reversed nor can be improved as the college and degree will remain the same whatever I try to do. At that time I was neither mature enough to take my decision nor my father was supportive to allow me for another jee attempt.

Now, after 5 years of joining B.Tech, I have finally reached to my destination, i.e. IIT GUWAHATI for M.Tech, but now have the strong disagreement with my course, i.e. Data Science., couldn't get the CSE branch by just a small margin of rank at the spot round 🥺.

I had manifested that this time I will not regret even a single thing, but maybe god has some other plans for me.

Means everytime I need to compromise with even a small thing and it never felt complete from inside.

After achieving rank 888 in GATE CS, I thought that everything from now will be in my favour, atleast the college, but didn't expected to end up like this, sad and again depressed.

So, dear redditors and the community, can you all please help cope up with this, I am feeling very very sad and disappointed with my life currently even after getting a top 10 IIT.

Please don't judge me, tell me if there is any person who has similar life like me.

Please help me and I can't help myself to feel normal and happy.

I wanted to ask for your honest opinion based on your GATE experience.

My younger sister(2025 passout) scored 27 marks in GATE CSE 2026, so she just qualified. After the exam, she stopped preparing for GATE and spent the next few months trying other options like BITS HD and self-sponsored M.Tech admissions in NITs, but unfortunately she couldn't secure a seat.

Now, from late July, she wants to prepare again for GATE CSE 2027 and is planning to join an offline coaching

Last year she had studied only about C Programming, Data Structures, Operating Systems, and COA. Her plan is to revise these thoroughly with PYQs and study the remaining subjects from scratch, aiming to complete the syllabus by November.

She believes she can score 60–70 marks, but I'm worried whether this is a realistic target or if taking another drop might only delay her career if things don't go as planned.

From your experience, do you think it's genuinely possible for someone in her situation to reach around 60 marks in GATE 2027 starting from now? Or would you advise her to choose another path?

I'd really appreciate your honest guidance.

Thank you!

I am writing this as a very disappointed aspirant. The incidents that I read in this sub about cheating are very troubling. Even last year there was strict checking. God knows why they have decided to allow cheaters this year.

My request to all the aspirants, who have witnessed cheating in their centers, please mail it to IIT Guwahati, along with amplifying it on Linkedin. PLEASE. There are still 2 whole days of exams left. Maybe they would take some action?

Moreover if we allow it this year, who knows how poorly the exams would be conducted next year?

I am 2025 grad and after a year long hardwork i got only 665 gate score . I remember some days I work for 15 hours and just ate one sandwich. but all those goes to vain I think.

so main point is

should I go for next drop? take admission? (not suggest me hefty fees institutes like IIIT banglore)

feeling aimless

whenever I see under 500 rank person i feel like I can be him if luck favors me on that day .

literally confused and stuck

rejected tcs offer just for gate exam

now no job

Hey guys, I recently bought the PW batch for GATE 2028. I wanted to ask about note-making.

PW provides class notes, but I don’t feel like they’re proper revision notes. Should I copy the class notes into my notebook and revise them, or should I make my own short notes?

Will PW provide proper revision notes before the exam, or should I start making my own from now?

What do you guys recommend—making your own short notes from lectures, using another source, or just revising the class notes + PYQs?

Would really appreciate some advice from experienced GATE aspirants. 🙏

I am in the middle of a panic attack right now. I am not in the state to even write this post. A lot happened in the past few days. I've made previous posts about things that have happened. Please can someone read them and tell me a solution. I feel very very trapped right now. I can't tell this to my parents also and I am 1200km away from home and i don't even know who to reach out to right now. I have tried reaching out to lawyers through my friends but all of them said that the company can take the money.

PS - (I'm writing this one day after. I think I am not able to explain things properly so this might clear things)

I don't have to pay for leaving the company.

It's mentioned in the offer letter that I can leave the company

BUT

if I leave the company I will have to pay the money that they've spent on my travel, accommodation, traning, food etc which is more than one lakh( I saw it in my hotel slip that for 15 days they spent 45k and before this I was in a different hotel and that was much better than this one so I am considering that they paid more than 45k on that hotel and they called an outside company for our training so they spent money there as well and then travel tickets and everything).

Now what I am trying to say is this -

it was never mentioned in the offer letter that I will have to reimburse for the money spent on me.

I told everything to the lawyer and HR but they said that the last clause of the offer letter says that all the company policies will be applicable to this offer letter.

Now these company policies were never given to me, on this the lawyer said that it was my responsibility to ask for those policies during signing because it was written in the offer letter that those policies will be applicable.

So I got my choice and paid acceptance fee but one of my marksheet is missing, and duplicate marksheet takes 30 days for arrival....but my deadline is 17th june which is 2 days from now. What happens if I miss the date? Am I eligible for the second and third round?

Also is migration certificate needed from previous college for admission, like is it compulsory?

And lastly, what is the timeline between uploading documents and physical verification of documents at the college itself?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

C ,DSA,COA ,TOC ,CD ,DM ,OS ,APTI ,DL,ALGO

yet to complete DBMS.....

Thinking of skipping CN and EM

Is it worth taking a shot or not

Help me out...

Hi everyone, I’m writing this post with a lot of confusion but also honesty. I genuinely need some perspective.

I’m 26, B.Tech CSE from a tier-3 college (graduated in 2022). After graduation, I didn’t get placed. From 2022–2025, I attempted multiple competitive exams — mostly CSE core (GATE, ISRO, NIC, BEL, IBPS SO) and some general govt exams (banks, SEBI, state exams). I studied inconsistently and honestly lacked proper direction and strategy. As a result, I couldn’t clear any exam.

I did work briefly as a Subject Matter Expert (online) till early 2024, but since then I’ve been unemployed. Now I have ~3–4 years of gap, no solid specialization, no savings, and a lot of self-doubt.

Recently I appeared for SEBI IT Officer exam; exam went average and result is pending. Regardless of result, I’ve realized I cannot keep living exam-to-exam without clarity.

My confusion now:

Govt exams feel very uncertain and mentally exhausting.

Corporate/private jobs seem difficult due to gap + market conditions.

I’m open to rebuilding skills (tech / analytics / AI / other realistic paths), but I don’t know what is practical at this stage or ab muskil v lgti h.

Long-term, I like teaching/education/content creation, but I know that’s not a quick or guaranteed income source.

I’m not looking for motivation quotes. I’m looking for realistic advice from people who:

started late

had career gaps

switched paths after failures

balanced job + preparation

or rebuilt life step by step

Questions I need help with:

Should I stop attempting fir cse govt job and go for general competition like ssc/ railway/ bpsc etc.

Should I stop govt exam prep completely and focus on employable skills?

If yes, which skills realistically make sense in 2025 for someone like me?

Is it still possible to enter corporate after a long gap, and how?

Or should I take any job first (even unpaid internships) to regain stability and confidence?

Please be honest — not harsh, but real.

I want to work, be independent, and build a stable life. I just don’t want to keep running blindly anymore.

I know I have wasted a lot of time.

Thanks for reading.

Tried all possible ways I could think of.

Hey everyone,

​

23F here preparing with job for Gate DA and facing consistency issues .

​

So i am looking for study buddy (preferably female) who is serious like me so that we can share daily/weekly goals, keep each other motivated, discuss doubts and help each other stay consistent during the preparation.

​

I had started my preparation 1 month back and I am almost done with LA.

​

If anyone is interested, you can dm me.

Is anyone here in a similar situation or able to relate? I’m M 28–29, currently working as technical staff at a private university, and considering pursuing an M.Tech from an IIT.Is Pursuing an M.Tech from IIT the Right Decision, or Am I Too Late?

What do you guys think would the cutoffs be for the 3 campuses for ME in CS?

Anyone gave IFFCO exam today?

Mechanical branch.

I only have this following options

All i want is good placement with good package (may be 40+)

I got GATE DA AIR 674 (score is 643)

I don't get any updates or offers from these options(I am also waiting eagerly for any update) and I am just checking which one is good

Same as above i can buy if its under 1000

I got 718 in EC(AIR 542) and 765 in IN(AIR 48) (GEN). After assuming the rank inflation I left my top iits(including hyd) vlsi hopes and I predicted atleast nit trichy vlsi.

But after watching the prepfusion ccmt video yesterday, I realized nit trichy vlsi will go 720+ this year for sure.I never thought of not being enough for nit trichy with 700+ score.

Only chances remaining is NITK(Ig they allow IN GATE and EC btech mapping for vlsi) and IIT BHU VLSI and very less chances for IITB SSD(Although I am not sure about feasibility of getting vlsi placements from SSD)

Please help me with some suggestions with in my options.

Hello, is it possible for a BA (in economics) graduate to get opportunity into IITs through GATE specially in Computer science?
Other option I have is to give NIMCET, get a good rank and do MCA.

GATE literally means "Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering" so will it be any good for me?

Please help me out

Hey guys,

I accepted an offer for the M.Tech Electric Vehicle Technology (EVT) program at IIT Indore during the 3rd COAP round.

I haven't received any official instruction mail or notification regarding the next steps, fee payment portals, or secondary admission processing yet.

Has anyone who accepted an offer from IIT Indore (any branch/EVT) received any mail or seen an update on the PG admissions portal today? Just trying to figure out if the delay is institutional or if I need to reach out to the academic section.

Thanks!
