Introduction to GATE EE Rank Prediction
Preparing for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) can be an arduous journey filled with uncertainty and anticipation. This article aims to provide a comprehensive comparison between two popular rank prediction tools: MADE EASY and Kreatryx, specifically for students appearing in the GATE Examination for Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EE). As a final-year Electronics and Communication Engineering (EC) student, I encountered a significant disparity in my predicted ranks for GATE 2019 EC from these two platforms during the results anticipation period.
Initial Impressions and Key Accuracy
Upon beginning my preparatory journey for GATE, after the 2019 EC examination, I eagerly sought to validate my performance through various rank predictors such as Kreatryx and MADE EASY. Both platforms offer free access and generate predicted ranks swiftly, usually within a few minutes. However, the results were notably different between Kreatryx and MADE EASY.
Using Kreatryx, my predicted rank for GATE EE 2020 EC was between 1200-1500, whereas MADE EASY placed me in the range of 840-1000. A considerable gap exists in these predictions, with time and accuracy being the primary variables influencing the disparity. MADE EASY is renowned for its key accuracy, making it a preferred choice for many GATE aspirants.
Rank Prediction Accuracy and Timing
The accuracy of rank predictions can significantly vary based on when the predictions are made and the timing of the key release. Generally, users should wait until the official key is released before checking their ranks. After the official key is released, the difference in predicted marks between different platforms tends to diminish, if not converge to zero.
Both MADE EASY and Kreatryx are expected to update their predictions based on the official key. Assuming they do, any discrepancies in their predictions would likely be mitigated, particularly in NAT (Numerical Answer Type) questions and answers to at least 3-5 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Users are advised to verify their ranks through multiple sources to ensure a comprehensive understanding of their probable performance.
Teacher Expertise and Dynamic Assessment
The accuracy of rank prediction tools is heavily influenced by the expertise and resources utilized by the providers. MADE EASY is favored by many due to the dynamic nature of its rank predictor, which offers session-wise and overall analysis. This tool not only relies on the latest key but also accounts for changing trends in the examination environment.
In comparison, Kreatryx is noted for using a more accurate key, especially when a combination of keys from various coaching institutes is considered. Over the years, Kreatryx has demonstrated a higher accuracy in rank predictions, particularly for EC and EE streams. However, for other streams, MADE EASY is often deemed more reliable.
Conclusion and Recommendations
While both MADE EASY and Kreatryx offer valuable insights into probable ranks for the GATE EE examination, Kreatryx is slightly more favored, particularly for EC and EE aspirants. This is due to its reliance on a more accurate key and its ability to account for the latest trends in the examination.
Those seeking a comprehensive and reliable rank predictor should consider using multiple tools and waiting for the official key release to validate their predicted ranks. For a more specific analysis, both tools are available for free trial, allowing users to explore and refine their choices based on their individual needs and experiences.
