You are completely new to the engineering world. The first year is just an advanced level of class 11&12th so, just chill. You will be introduced to the engineering subjects in your 2nd year. The ideal time to start the preparations for GATE is the 3rd year. Start preparing for GATE from the 3rd yea

My photo was marked defected, but I missed deadline. Can I correct it in GATE correction phase?

If the edit option is visible on dashboard, then it means you can edit. However, officials will open defect rectification window before result declaration giving another chance to upload correct photo and signature.
