Tips to Aspiring Candidates to Crack GITAM GAT 2025

GITAM GAT 2025 is a university-level entrance Examination.  GITAM is a prestigious University, and many students crave for seeking admission to this University into different courses at all three Campuses Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru.  So, there is stiff competition among the aspiring candidates intending to get admission into this popular Deemed-to-be University of GITAM.   Given its demand, GITAM GAT 2025 has turned out to be a challenging task for the candidates to secure the highest marks in GITAM GAT 2025 to get admission into their intended course.

So, hard work, a strong academic background right from the 10^th standard itself, and sincere efforts with planned preparation are essential to secure the highest rank in GITAM GAT 2025,

Following are a few tips for guidance to the candidates.

• Candidates must understand the syllabus concerning their course/subject chosen and the exam pattern of GITAM GAT 2025.

• Keep a hard copy of the complete syllabus till the date of examination and go through the same from time to time to ensure that no topic is missed.  By the topics in the syllabus select/procure suitable study material or books.

• Draw a timetable covering the entire syllabus leaving at least a month for revision of the entire syllabus of Class 12 before the examination dates. Leave at least a fortnight for GITAM GAT 2025 for revision of the syllabus.  Students must utilize the time available beyond their school timings right from 10^th class onwards and learn to focus on their studies without any distractions.

• Carry out appropriate analysis/review of your study pattern find out loose ends/mistakes and make adjustments/corrections accordingly.

• It is always advisable to make notes of all topics being studied for revision purposes.
• Time Management in solving the problems/answers is more important. So, focus on mock tests/solving previous question papers setting prescribed time limits and ensure to learn time management which will eventually help in the main examination.

• Set appropriate goals by dividing one topic at a time and accomplishing them daily. Though the syllabus initially appears to the candidate as voluminous, over time, with accomplishing the goals every day, one can understand that the entire syllabus can be covered successfully before the examination.

• Students should first attempt to study the theory part and understand the same thoroughly. Then the student should start solving the problems.  Such an approach will enable the student to understand problem-solving in a logical way that will help in solving problems correctly in the GITAM GAT 2025, within the timeframe.

• List out doubts/clarifications required on the topics and seek help from the Seniors or Faculties from time to time.

• Students can also consider joining a crash course, which will help them to master the subjects in a planned strategic manner with appropriate guidance from the faculties.

• Another important tip for the students is to avoid distraction from the main goal of preparation for the examination. Strong determination alone helps the students to avoid diversion from attention or focus on the main goal.

• Studying non-stop for long hours would deplete the productivity of the students. Hence, students are required to take this into account while preparing their timetable to ensure that there will be a minimum “recess time” to refresh themselves before commencing the next session of study. No doubt, students tend to study for long hours before examinations.
• To enhance productivity, it is a must to rest or relax at defined intervals, which does not mean watching the blue screen.  Students should relax by doing short workouts or meditation etc. which will enhance their concentration on the study.
