 #In B.Tech we hardly had any lectures. So, we were forced to study by ourselves. As one of our lecturer told us, the most important thing our college teaches us is to learn on our own. (She studied in that college only). And the advantage of learning by ourselves is that we can crack most questions even if it's twisted.
-#I was following some printed notes and local textbooks till semester 4. My GPA wasn't bad but I never learned anything. During S5 someone told us to buy standard textbooks which were prescribed in the syllabus. I gave it a try. My GPA remained same but I was happy because I felt like I learned something. Moreover, whatever I learned from those books still remain with me. More than anything, I realized that learning so not getting everything written in the text, but understanding a small information from reading a large portion of text.

 #Though quite lazy, I used to do all the lab assignments. I never referred any previous code in doing any assignment as I preferred to write my own code. Did this help in GATE? - Yes, I could write all the questions in C, DS & algorithm and DBMS in GATE with 100% confidence. (Unfortunately, we had OS lab only after the GATE exam).
 #I was quite poor in Engineering Mathematics. I was following a local textbook for it as I thought why I needed to learn Mathematics to become a Software Engineer. So, I couldn't answer most of the Mathematics questions in GATE. Due to lack of preparation, questions from OS, Networks and CO weren't easy for me also. Still, I could apply my logic, substitute answers from choices and solve many of them.

-While during B.Tech as any normal student I also wanted to write GATE. As a natural step I thought of coaching. But due to lack of good coaching centers nearby, I didn't join any. Instead, bought GATE forum materials. I tried to solve their questions, but couldn't proceed more than 2 pages as they were qite tough for me. So, thinking GATE is another dream I won't be able to reach, I left my GATE desire and decided to go for placement, which was a rather easy choice.

But now, to safely get into IITs/IISc, a mark of more than 70/100 is needed. It's very much possible for you. Don't study 10-12 hours a day. Study till you can, but do it properly.
