Find a GATE prep buddy
You finished your engineering degree, maybe you're working, maybe you took a drop year, and now it's you, a pile of previous year papers and a lot of silence. Add gate as an interest on chatrealm.live and we'll look for another GATE aspirant who picked it too, for a one-on-one chat about prep, mocks and staying sane.
18+ only. You're in charge of what you share, so use the same common sense you would with any stranger.
Ways to start the chat
- Which paper are you writing, CS, EC, ME, civil or something else?
- Preparing alongside a job, or full time?
- Which subject do you keep putting off?
- How did your last mock test go, honestly?
- Are you aiming for an M.Tech, a PSU job or just seeing how it goes?
Good to know
You'll meet engineering graduates preparing for GATE, some full time in Hyderabad or Delhi, some studying after work in Bengaluru or Pune, others at home in smaller towns across India. Chats cover solving previous year papers, short notes, weak subjects like maths or signals, mock scores, balancing a job with prep and M.Tech versus PSU plans. Add gate, then your paper code or branch, like gate cs or mechanical. For dates, syllabus and results, check the organising institute's official GATE website. Matching on your tags is likely but not guaranteed; after a short wait with no match, you'll be paired with anyone.

Questions people ask
Can I find someone from my branch?
Add your branch or paper as a second interest, like gate cs or civil, and we'll try to match you with someone who picked the same thing. If nobody's around after a short wait, you'll be paired with anyone.
Will people here tell me the cut-off or expected rank?
Strangers can only guess. For official cut-offs, scores and dates, go by the GATE organising institute's website, and don't share your registration number or scorecard with anyone in a chat.
Is chatrealm.live free?
Yes. Text and video chat are free, with no ads. Text needs no sign-up, and video asks for a quick sign-in with a code sent to your email.
Is it safe to talk to strangers here?
It's for adults only and only in India. Phone numbers and links are hidden, every chat has a Report button, and reports are acted on quickly. Our safety page has the full picture and tips.
Say hi to someone new
It's free and takes a few seconds. Pick text or video, and if it's not your vibe, the next person is one tap away.
