Frequently Asked Questions:-

Why T.I.M.Es Gate Institute?

It is the brand name and more over they are the leaders in the entire country for their success rate in IIMs. The best experience for the Part A is something that we can have a guarantee of.

Secondly, they have also been coaching for GATE which has a syllabus that asks more than the syllabus that LDCE expects. Hence it is certain that they can do justice to the coaching.

You say, only 80% for the part B syllabus will be covered in the material given by them? Why not other 20%

The 20% (is a rough estimate) covers some computer topics like C, Pascal, Java Script, HTML and web designing and few areas in communication engineering are to me made from scratch and are also available on the internet. The institution has accepted to provide links to such sites wherein the same can be obtained. Moreover, it is promised by the institution that the running notes will be given in such cases.

Which one is better, the regular batch or the full time batch?

Well, it is an individual choice and the full time is better for the outstation candidates as the entire course time will be 30 full days (8 hours per day) and a little more if needed.

We are not from hyderabad and we want to be there present for the election on 16th April.

Hopefully, the coaching will be completed well before 10th April if the same starts on 4th March. Hence it is the immediate response from outstation candidates that can help us to get the batch started as the required no. of candidates is 50.

Will there be accommodation provided by the institution?

No. There are many private people who are providing the accommodation. Collectively one such institution can be selected. The cost and other details can be had after a week or so that you can be prepared. Hopefully the cost may not be more than Rs. 3000 for the entire course duration.

Is SNATTA AP Circle having any tie up with the said institute or is there any personal favours offered by the institute to the Circle Body?

An important question. No such agreement. It is not a compulsion to join the said institute and you are at liberty to chose your choice of the institution. Please inform us too if you can make a better deal. We can save some money too. This effort is only to facilitate the DRTTA community to make the process easier. Also, it is always good to be together.

How are the class rooms? Are they sufficently ventilated and are there enough facilities for the female candidates?

Very Important question. Yes, the class rooms are sufficiently big and well ventilated. They are clean and match the reputation of the T.I.M.E Institution.

Thanks and Regards from AP Circle Team
