Qn 17)
But my question is what do you think , were your mistakes, if not committed, could have get you more marks.?

Ans: i feared a bit... during jee mains i got so many negatives that my nit seat was lost... So this time in gate i calculated my marks during exam... it was around 70...so i was confident that i am getting a seat in iit...so no need to take unnecessary risk and loose it this time...
but later i found that i could have scored a lot more...4 questions i left unattempted whose answers that i calculated were correct...😅... but doesn't matter..in real gate with so much of pressure it is not wise to take such risk...1 mark might get you from iit to nit...very risky !!!

Qn 18) It would be my privilege to know the kind of risks you took during preparation.

Ans: not siting in placements....studying 1 day before sem exams.... bunking all classes....not talking with friends much....no movie... no facebook and whatsapp in last 3 months...not giving mid sem exams as it was on jan 31st...gate was on feb 4

    1. One of my friend gave gate this year. he was in tcs. this was his 3rd attempt. He is scoring around 73 this time. pretty good enough to be in an iit. So i believe you should do some job and prepare simultaneously. That helps !!!

    1. IIT's are not like that. They are very strict about their rules. You might need to approach Supreme Court for that !!! You might have heard of the recent btech IITB student who said he bymistakely deselected IITB seat. IITB denied admission at any cost. FInally Supreme Court intervened and that boy was allocated a seat in IITB. So from this example you should be aware that IIT's are very strict about their rules and regulations. Once they declare something they abide by it.
