I am posting lot of useful material and links for students who are preparing Gate entrance examination. As I am Computer Engineer this post is written according to them but it has some useful links for mechanical and electronics and communication students too.
According to the gate point of view the study material available at Mit opencourse ware is best. I pledge you that if you crack gate after studying that material please donate some money to MIT so that , they can continue providing these materials to needy students at free of cost.
I will discuss all important points step by step and guide you with the best links available for that:
