Does a student pursuing an M.Tech in IIT Gandhinagar get enough time to prepare for exams like the GATE?

IIT’s generally have a rigorous curriculum design making it difficult for individuals to focus on long-term career growth & development. Proper time management would definitely be the demand for that specific target set by the individual.

The important details to look upon are :

• The 75% attendance scenario is also mandatory and you must attend all classes. The criterion is not strict as it depends on the faculty members. Some make it compulsory while others can be a little lenient.
• The total class time required for the course is approximately 20 hours per week. This gives you enough scope to focus on other major areas of study after the regular course framework.
• If you study around 10 hours a week then it is easy to cope up with the assignments and exams.
• A teaching assistantship is also a major area that will take close to 8 hours per week providing a specific amount to the candidate.

M.Tech is a course that cannot be taken for granted so attending classes is a must, but cracking exams requires dedication & consistency on another level to maintain competitiveness and achieve your targets. On the whole, what a candidate needs to find is hands-on management skills.
