1.

First cover some of the basic concepts in Maths like

Functions and Graphs
Permutation and Combination
Trigonometry
Basic Differentiation and Integration

2. There can be three starting points for GATE EE Course, you can start with Signals and Systems which has high we

3. You can also start with Network Analysis in case you wish to go for EE core subjects. This is a pre-requisite for Analog Electro

In my opinion the best possible order would be,

1. Signals and Systems
2. Network Analysis
3. EMT
4. Control Systems
5. Electrical Machines
6. Analog Electronics
7. Power Electronics
8. Power Systems
9. Digital Electronics
10. Microprocessor
11. Measurement
nd Systems which has high weightage in GATE as well as it is pre-requisite for Control Systems.
