Hello Pooja,
As you are in college, then it is not possible to join offline coaching because of your daily college. So, you can prepare exam through online mode and I suggest you to focus on your studies right now and from third year, you can start your preparation as all the portions of syllabus in GATE is from Engineering 4 year course. -
If you're serious about cracking GATE, then start taking your major subjects of CASE seriously. The ideal time to start preparing for GATE is from 3rd year and as you're in college it will be quite difficult to do self-study as you also have to manage your Graduation studies. So, it is good to join a offline coaching class where you will get a mentor to guide you through out your journey. Mostly, all coaching centres provide weekend classes which can be manageable with your college.
Good luck.
