9 Month Planner Civil Engineering(CE)

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

 Master plan
 Flow of a subject which should befollowed
 How to makenotes
 How to do TestAnalysis
 How to do dorevison
 Subject wise( topic wise) time devotionplan

1.Master Plan
 2. Flow of Studies for Any subject:
1. Notes
2. GATE que for past 10 years topic wise
3. Topic wise test on aspiration.ai
4. Subject tests on aspiration.ai
5. Extra practice que + revision of subject

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 usefulwhile revision in last 30 days. Use 3
colour pen to indicate important, very important and very very Importantconcepts.
 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 longerduration.
 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 thesespaces.

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 abird eye view and See topics on which questions Are asked again and
Again. Star mark them for making revision 2 and revision 3 effective.

6.SUBJECT WISE PLAN:

 Numerical computation, numerical estimation,
