It is of course a tedious task to maintain same energy and enthusiasm for the whole preparation period. Here are some of tips to stay motivated during GATE preparation.
- Set a Goal
The goal you set must not be a vague one (like good rank, clearing any PSU) but clear ones like rank less than 100 or admission to IISC /IIT etc. Write it down on a piece of paper and stick it on your wall so that you can see it daily.
- Increase your Desire to Succeed
Ask yourself how bad you want to succeed. Imagine your position after GATE results. See yourself going to IIT or IISc for M.Tech. This will motivate you subconsciously.
- Avoid Distractions
Remove all the stuffs that distracts your studies like tabs, mobile phones, gaming consoles etc from your study room. Try to read from books than PDFs.

- Pre-day Planning
Plan your next day activities before bed.
- Set Daily Goal
Write down your daily goal (like mathematics 2 chapters, 1 previous year question paper ). This will push you a bit more. Reward yourself if you have achieved the goal by giving 10 mins extra break, or listening to music or having your favorite food.
- Form like-minded Peer Group
Always stay connected with your friends who are serious with GATE preparation. Teach and help each other.
- Read a Motivational Book
If your motivation level is too low, try to read a good self help book. Write down some striking quotes and stick it on your wall.
Few recommendations:
- Wake up Early
Early mornings are most productive period of the day as you are devoid of all distractions. Try to learn difficult topics in early morning.
- Meditate/ Exercise daily.
Meditation helps you to stay focused for longer period. If you do not know to meditate, read Meditation and its Methods by Swami Vivekananda.
It is a really good blog. But even though as far as I am concerned in the middle of your preparation days you will definitely lose your confidence and also focus on your study. My suggestion is to join in the best coaching centers.
