Note 1: On NCERT Mathematics books of Class 11 and 12, I would recommend if you can solve them end-to-end during your preparation (specially the miscellaneous problem at end of each chapter)

Note 2: Below are two non-technical videos. But might help you get started

can you share more for practise problems from AI, ML, DBMS part?
Thanks.

Hi @sarthak-wiz,

I will require some additional time to do that. But one very good source would be GO classes test series. For GATE(CS) I prefer PYQ over anything, but since GATE(DA) it is difficult to find GATE style questions compiled. And, folks at GO classes are really spending full-time on this so yes that would be your best bet

i see in most of questions in Gate DA it ask only therotical statement
from where we can read
please tell

Most of the theory will be covered in many materials @Laxmikant28

Can you please guide like while watching these video on which things we should be more concerned... like making notes ... understanding appliaction or numericals or implementation through pyhton or theory.... Also I have done ML and other course from other sources so Should i start again from here or keep on continuing from PW.

@Harshit07979 there is a priority when you are learning things. Understanding concepts and reasoning should be first, solving GATE style questions should be second. Post that you can within 1-2 days create brief notes, by solving questions you will also realise what you should put more in notes, and what you can skip. I highly recommend hands-on in Python for both DSA and ML, but considering the limited time for upcoming GATE 2025, that can be avoided. But if you are in 3rd year or early, doing the same for any concept will push it into your memory 10x stronger if you code it down for yoursel

Hi @rrdhanush, I'd recommend if you can read the concepts and solve the miscellaneous exercises that should suffice. But if you struggle with this, anything advanced would not make much sense
