What I was doing I think wrong by not applying little gas while releasing. I was thought to apply gas after releasing clutch all the way out.
Releasing clutch slowly drops RPM very fast, by releasing clutch faster to biting point helps a lot. I think within a month I should be able to drive smoothly.
Am I right or wrong, comments please.

You’re getting there. As I told you in the other thread where you asked about this “It’s more to do with properly synchronizing clutch/throttle inputs and less to do with how quickly you release the clutch pedal. The longer that you hold the clutch pedal, the more revs drop and the more you’ll need to apply the throttle to have a smooth shift. The “biting point” isn’t even something that should be felt except when starting from a standstill. Don’t overthink things, it will be second nature after a few months of driving.”
