[GateFlix] GATE Chemical Engineering

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2022 exam is an examination which is conducted by seven Indian Institute of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee), IISC On behalf of National Coordination Board (NCB)-GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India

The GATE 2022 paper will be held on First week of February tentatively across various cities. As we know GATE Exam is conducted national level and it is attempted by around 9 lakh candidates; a simple preparation strategy may not sufficient need work smart

The GATE 2022 examination centres are spread in different cities across India, not only that in six cities outside India also. The GATE 2022 examination would be purely a Computer Based Test (CBT).

A degree in Chemical Engineering requires a strong background in Chemistry and Mathematics, while core knowledge of other subjects in Science like Physics, Biology or Computer Science is beneficial. In order to prove your interest in pursuing a Chemical Engineering degree, you should have an understanding of the nature of Chemical Engineering and its various real-world applications.

There are several courses that you can opt for in order to transcend your career after GATE Chemical Engineering. 

After that, you can purse with:

• Master of Engineering (M Eng)

• Master of Technology (M Tech)

• Master of Science (MS or MSc)

And further more

• Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

The dream is not what you see in sleep, dream is which does not let you sleep. – Dr. ABJ Kalam.

Below listed are some tips and tricks, for a GATE exam 2022 aspirant, to crack the GATE exam 2022 with flying colours:

Struggles makes a man achieve success 

Practice on regular basis to solve GATE exam problems and clear doubts. It is rightly said that perfection comes out of practice. Take help of GATE exam previous year questions to practice regularly to polish your preparation. Solving GATE mock papers and GATE exam sample papers will provide an additional help. The number of questions solved by you will directly be proportional to the results achieved.

Time management is the key to any success. Time is precious and ones lost can never be recovered again. Time management skills are a must while preparing for any exam. It is important to devote your time to all the important topics. In the exam hall also, managing time is as important as knowing the answers. Working hard day and night is required but giving time to yourself to relax your brain and body is also equally necessary.

Nothing is Impossible, the word itself says, “I M (am) Possible”

Nothing is impossible if you work hard with a combination of dedication and efforts. Do not let yourself get demotivated. Feed yourself with spoons of motivation as a positive attitude is an advantageous tip for preparation. Do not lose hope even if you find it difficult to cope up sometimes. De-stress yourself whenever required.

EXAMPLE:

Most of the things which you use every day have probably been through some form of chemical process on the way to you. If this did not happen, you would not be able to make much use of it.

For example: TV sets, music systems and computers originally start out as resources of crude oil and minerals. From these, metals, semiconductors, glass and plastics are produced, in quantity, by chemical engineering. These materials are passed to engineers of other disciplines to produce components for, and to assemble, the finished products as you 

HOW TO OPEN OUR LINKS?

Practically everything that you keep in the fridge has also been through some kind of engineering process. Dairy produce and fruit juices have met with biochemical engineering. For example, live yogurt has the right kind of bacteria in it and fruit juice is very nutritious, despite the fact that it is probably produced from a concentrate. If there is any chocolate in the fridge, then this too is the result of some very well-controlled process engineering.

The fridge itself is a product of process engineering. It extends the ‘shelf life’ of food by holding it at temperatures where natural biological processes, such as the growth of fungi and bacteria, are almost at a standstill. This helps us to make better use of the food we buy or grow and so we waste less of it. Much of this food stays refrigerated during transport and storage in shops and supermarkets. Whatever items you use in the bathroom (soap, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste) there is a good chance that this too has been engineered.

Whether you read this information on paper or on some type of display screen, chemical engineering has helped to make these media.

These are just a few examples – see how many others you can think of.

Chemical engineers play an important role in determining our standard of living and quality of life. Their activities are concerned with the use of science and engineering concepts to design efficient processes, turning raw materials into valuable products for human use.

Chemical engineers use their skills to optimise these processes. Natural resources are used sustainably and our daily products are produced economically. Chemical engineers create and manufacture materials and products we use every day. These include plastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, petrochemicals, agrochemicals, biomaterials and cement.
