1SYLLABUS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW FIRST
Knowing the syllabus is the foremost thing you should do before starting with your preparations. If possible it is advisable to keep a copy of your syllabus with your while you study and complete a topic so that you do not waste your time on topics which are not important .
2PRIORITIZE YOUR SUBJECTS

3GO THE EASY WAY FIRST
Filter the important topics into two parts – difficult and easy ones. Cover the easy part first as it will take less time and cover major portions from your syllabus and then go for the difficult portions. Focus on the concepts and not just mugging up things.
4SHORT NOTES
Use short notes while studying. As you are short of time using short notes will speed up your preparations and cover the essential concepts needed for the exam and save time. Here are the links to download GATE notes from some of the toppers for each engineering branch:
