Don't worry if your percentage in university exams is low as GATE admissions do not consider them. Just maintain minimum percentage required by many colleges including IIT's. Look at GATE Cutoff and eligibility section to know eligibility and cut off of various colleges.
Group study is one of the best ways of preparation. Divide sections/topics between you and your partner and have a brief session on topic from your friend before you actually start topic. This will save your time and efforts and will improve your and your partner's understanding on the topic.
Normally coaching GATE is not required but if you are not able to concentrate much then this is a good option.
