9 years agoMany congratulations to you as you are pursuing AE . You need to be in the final semester of your AE to appear for GATE exam. Refer to good books and focus on concepts and get your basics cleared first as it's very important. Try to be regular in your studies. Join a good coaching institute for GATE and solve as many questions as you can from previous years sets.
Best of luck. -
