The best way to study for GATE is to refer standard books.
Study material from various coaching institutes is usually copied frm standard books.(I've referred to Brilliant Tutorials, hardly found any thing different from standard books)

The problem with objective books is that they have a lot of errors.
According to GATE toppers the best formula for cracking GATE is
(Reference Books) + (15 years papers) + (GATE Forum test series)
