Exclusive interview with AIR-1 Hrutidipan Pradhan revealing his preparation journey and winning strategies
Final Year B.Tech, Mineral and Metallurgical Engineering
IIT (ISM), Dhanbad
“Thanks, I had a mixed feeling. First of all I was surprised, I was expecting under 10 rank but not AIR-1. Then I reverified by logging in to the website again. Then after that I became satisfied and happy.”
“I started preparing seriously in my 3rd year of engineering, so it was approximately a 1 year journey. As I had my semester classes ongoing so I had different plans for weekdays and different plans for weekends. On an average I always tried to give 7 hours daily for GATE preparation.”
“One major strategy is to be consistent in your preparation. One should not take long gaps from his preparation as it hampers the momentum of your preparation and it is tough to regain the momentum after a long break.”
“I had taken the test series and practice question series (PQS) of TestUrSelf. The quantity and quality of questions in both of these was very good. The test series and practice questions helped me to find out my weak and strong topics and thus helped me to decide which topic I need to focus more on.”
“Just be consistent in preparation stage, do exam analysis properly. Spend at least 2 to 3 hours in analysis the mock test after you attempt them, maintain a separate notebook for the same and try to cover the uncovered topics that you found out during the analysis on that day itself, this will reduce the amount of overburden later.”
