The GATE exam is vital for all the engineering students to continue their higher studies. All the students go to coaching classes to prepare for gate. This makes the student invest their money more and spending lots of time for preparation. The question asked in the gate exam is what they study in engineering. The preparation for GATE can be done by their own without coaching. 
The students should know the concepts clearly. It is an important step to make preparation to clear GATE 2016 without coaching . In the second and third year of engineering, make clear of all the concepts. Students get the clarity about the concepts by teaching it to someone. If this is not possible, then they can revise the textbook again.
The next step to clear GATE 2016 without coaching is to collect the books and materials that are needed for GATE exam. This step takes 6 months. The previous year solved papers are collected which are in chapter wise. It is important for gate preparation. The solved question papers are available through online for all the fields of engineering such as electrical, mechanical, electronics, computer science and instrumentation, etc. The refreshing of subjects is important for GATE 2016. The textbooks which are in printed form or ebooks can be collected on all the subject with the syllabus of the gate. Then collect the sample papers needed for gate exam.
