He secured AIR 9000 in that. He then decided to prepare for the GATE 2018 Exam simultaneously with the job. But soon his thoughts were proved wrong since private companies suck up your life completely. Therefore you don’t get any time to spend on yourself. Finally, he decided to leave the job and focus only on GATE. He secured AIR 581 in the GATE 2015 paper. This doesn’t seem to satisfy him much.He did not lose hope and fast forward one year, wrote GATE again.  He proudly says, “Do not get bogged down by anything. The best way to deal with a problem is to solve it, instead of just running away from it. If you feel you’re going through hell, keep going. Just don’t give up at any stage. Fight till the end.”

Upon asked for solving GATE Previous Year Papers, he says, “Solving mock tests, GATE Sample Papers and Previous year question papers is essential.
