Who should talk to Abinash?
A 1:1 with Abinash may be useful if one or more of these questions or decisions feels familiar. Bring your own situation, options and goals to the conversation.
- ?How do I recover after a poor GATE attempt?
- ?How should I prepare for GATE Civil on a second or third attempt?
- ?How many mocks should I take, and how should I review them?
- ?Which GATE Civil topics should I revise first?
- ?Is coaching worth it for my current level?
- ?How do I build a timetable that includes practice and revision?
- ?Should I take another year for GATE or move forward?
- ?What are Civil Engineering life and placements at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad really like?
Abinash went from a Patna classroom to IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, graduating in Civil Engineering in 2018. His first two GATE attempts went badly — long hours at coaching, no real strategy — and it was only on the third that he rebuilt his preparation around four things: practice, mock tests, revision, and actually reviewing his mistakes. That attempt got him AIR 410 in GATE 2021. He counsels on GATE Civil preparation and on what to do after an attempt that did not go to plan.
