Chemical Engineering

Introduction:
Hi Warriors,

Please find a comprehensive study plan for Your Exam preparation. This Plan is for 9 Months but you May modify it for
six Months (By studying More hours per day). The number of hours considered in this plan is 3 hrs per day ( Average ).
For instance if You see the Master plan below you will find We need approx 220-250 hrs in April + MAY+ June . So if We
study 3 Hrs average for 90 days = 270 hrs, We can easily cover what’s given in the Document.

Note: This plan is designed in consideration with students who have got top 100 ranks in GATE or any national level
exam in the past few years.

Similar plan is followed by many exam toppers and is highly recommended by most of The top faculties of the country.
You will realise while going through it that a lot of research is gone In to make it helful to you.

The following document contain:

1. Master plan
2. Flow of a subject which should be followed
3. How to make notes
4. How to do Test Analysis
5. How to do revison
6. Subject wise( topic wise) time devotion plan

3.How to Make Notes:
• If you attend lectures of any faculty through gateflix then you can easily make notes. If you haven’t
done so, go to online videos to do so. You may also go to youtube, Khan academy, Nptel or The latest
and Most popular are www.gateflix.in videos.
• Make notes neatly as they will be very very useful while revision in last 30 days. Use 3 colour pen to
indicate important, very important and very very Important concepts.
• Make a separate handbook for formulas. In exams 40% questions are direct formala based or implied
formula based. Problem with students is that they tend to mix up formula. If you have this handbook
of formula ready and have revised the things atleast 2 times , I can gurantee you the 40 % marks.
• Don’t Xerox someone’s notes because the moment you write youself then you can memorise the
concept for a longer duration.
• Leave one page Space after 2/3 pages or after every major chapter . This is to ensure that if you come
across any vital formula or Information or short trick while refering tests or refernce book later then
you may place That information in these spaces.

4.How to do a Test Analysis:

• Any test( Online or offline) need to taken in time frame.There is No point in taking the test without a
time Limit.
• Don’t take any test without revision of Notes of the syllabus covered in the test. It will be a wastage if
You just randomly take a test.
• Once the test time is over, don’t jump to answer Solution . Check the answer key and get To Know
your score.
• Now follow a 3 stage process .

Stage 1: Go to the right ones and check wheteher you were confident of answering that question . If the
answer is “yes” check the solution given in order to see which method was better( yours or the given in Book
or online portal ). Adopt the best you like.

Stage 2: Go to questions which you got wrong. Try to fight with the question that why you got it wrong without looking
at the solution yet. Try 3 or 4 times by re reading the question or even refer notes. Maximum time it’s a silly mistake.
These silly Mistakes can’t be zeroed but can be reduced by practicing more. Refer notes again if needed. In case you are
still not able to click after a lot of Slumber, try to open the solution and check your mistake. If it was a new concept to
you, add in the void space you have kept in your notes. This will help to solve similar question again.

Stage 3: Now the turn of questions which are un attempted.This could be due to

1. Not knowing The concept or due to lack of time. If it was conceptual ignorance , go to your faculty (
many online live class teachers are available , In case you don’t have one)and learn the concept.

 2. It was a lack of time issue try now and solve it. If you are taking a lot of Time try to memorise few steps
so that if it appears in exam you will be able to do it fast. Other students might leave such question in
exam , But you will probably dare to attempt such and score more.
• The key to successs in any entrance exam is solve More , analyse more. In each subject you should
Solve almost 1000+ questions including past year Actual Exam questions, topic wise test, subject test
and mock tests.

5. How To do Revision:
• Well this is dependent on the way you have prepared notes and how effectively have you done the
Test Analysis.
• Go through the whole cycle again in this revision phase like NOTES >- GATE QUESTIONS >- Topic test
>- Subject Test >- Extra questions (if any).
• While Revising, don’t solve Each and every question from notes or tests. Try to randomly pick 20
questions from different pages or test (purely random). If you are able to recall the logic of 16+ then
you are good to go ahead. If you are Not able to solve more than 10 questions, then it’s a re revision
time. Follow step 2.
• Try to have a bird eye view and See topics on which questions Are asked again and Again. Star mark
them for making revision 2 and revision 3 effective.
