GATE 2026 AIR 25 Success Story: How Kishan Singh Prepared with PW’s Parakram Batch and Achieved His Dream Rank

Securing a top rank in GATE requires the right guidance, consistent practice, and regular improvement. Kishan Singh followed this approach and secured AIR 25 in Instrumentation Engineering (IN) in GATE 2026.

During his preparation, Kishan relied mainly on PW’s Parakram One-Year Batch for lectures, syllabus completion, and notes. Along with learning concepts, he focused on solving questions, analysing tests, and revising regularly.

His journey highlights how the right resources and consistent efforts can help aspirants achieve their goals.

Why Kishan Chose PW’s Parakram Batch for GATE 2026 Preparation

For Kishan, choosing the right learning source helped him avoid confusion between multiple resources. He prepared his technical concepts through PW’s Parakram One-Year Batch and completed his lectures and syllabus from the batch.

"Maine technical content ke liye PW ka Parakram One-Year Batch join kiya tha. Saare lectures aur syllabus wahin se complete kiye hain."

Along with the batch, Kishan also followed PW’s YouTube revision sessions and fast-track courses to add important points to his notes.

"2023 ya 2024 ke fast-track courses YouTube par karwaye gaye the, maine unka content bhi apne notes mein add kiya tha, taaki agar kuch useful mil sake toh wo preparation mein include ho jaye."

He believes focused learning helps aspirants save time and prepare according to the exam requirement.

"PW ke teachers simple way mein wahi content deliver kar dete hain jo GATE mein rank laane ke liye useful hota hai."

By focusing on one primary source and using additional revision content selectively, Kishan was able to keep his preparation focused while covering the concepts and exam-relevant topics needed for GATE.

How PW’s DPPs, PYQs, and Practice Strategy Strengthened Kishan’s Preparation

After completing concepts, Kishan focused on regular question practice. He solved class questions, DPPs, and additional practice questions shared by teachers.

"Class mein jo questions karaaye jaate hain, unko ek baar khud se practice karna chahiye, taaki aap apne haath se unko laga sako."

Daily practice helped him improve his problem-solving ability and understand different approaches.

"DPP practice sheet daily milti thi, toh usko solve karna chahiye. Teachers extra practice questions bhi upload karte the jahan se practice kar sakte hain."

After regular practice, Kishan moved towards PYQs to understand the actual GATE pattern.

"PW ki PYQ book bhi aati hai jo maine purchase ki thi. Practice sheets ke baad PYQ ki taraf jaana best hai."

PYQs helped him identify important topics and understand the type of questions asked in the exam.

How PW’s Weekly Tests Helped Kishan Track His GATE Preparation Progress

Weekly tests became an important part of Kishan’s preparation strategy. They helped him measure progress and identify areas that needed more improvement.

"Har Sunday weekly test aata tha. Teachers bata dete the ki itne syllabus tak test hoga, toh usko attempt karna hota tha."

After attempting tests, Kishan focused on analysing mistakes rather than just checking marks.

"Agar koi question wrong hota tha toh usse pata chal jata tha ki is area mein mujhe aur practice ki need hai."

He also used these tests to clear doubts and improve his approach towards difficult questions.

How Kishan’s Consistency and Daily Routine Helped Him Secure AIR 25

Kishan followed a balanced routine by studying multiple subjects together. His daily plan included revision, question practice, and test analysis.

"Main do ya teen subjects ko parallelly lekar chalta tha. Unko revise karna, question practice karna aur test dena daily plan ka part tha."

By 2025, Kishan had completed his lectures, allowing him to focus on revision and practice for GATE 2026.

"2025 mein lectures complete ho gaye the, toh GATE 2026 ke liye mera focus revision, question practice aur analysis par tha."

He also advised aspirants to maintain consistency and avoid leaving completed subjects untouched for months.

Why Kishan Reduced Social Media Usage During GATE Preparation

Kishan gradually reduced his social media usage during preparation and completely avoided Instagram in the final months.

"Starting mein Instagram ka use kam rakha tha, lekin last ke teen mahine mein maine Instagram uninstall kar diya tha."

He believes small distractions can consume valuable preparation time.

"5 minute ki jagah 15-25 minute chale jaate hain, aur jab aapko achhi rank laani hoti hai toh ye time bahut matter karta hai."

By limiting distractions, especially during the final months, Kishan was able to protect his study time and stay focused on his goal of securing a strong GATE rank.

How PW’s GATE Resources Helped Kishan Prepare for PSU Interviews

After securing AIR 25, Kishan is now focusing on PSU opportunities. For interview preparation, he continued using PW’s GATE-related sessions and previous guidance videos.

"Interview ke liye maine PW ke GATE channel par jo sessions hue hain, wo dekhe hain aur previous year ke sessions se strategy samjhi hai."

For PSU interviews, he believes strong technical preparation remains important.

"PSU interviews mein technical questions zyada pooche jaate hain, toh core subjects ko achhe se revise karke jaana hai."

Kishan Singh’s journey shows that achieving a top GATE rank requires consistency, regular practice, and the right preparation strategy. His approach of combining PW’s Parakram Batch, DPPs, PYQs, weekly tests, and revision helped him secure AIR 25.

His advice for future aspirants is simple: stay consistent, practise daily, analyse mistakes, and keep improving throughout the preparation journey.
