About
GATE
Graduate
Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination that
primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various
undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology. The GATE score
of a candidate reflects a relative performance of a candidate. The
score is used for admissions to post-graduate engineering programmes
(eg. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian higher education
institutes with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other
Government agencies. The score may also used by Public sector units
for employment screening purposes.
Financial
Assistance
A
valid GATE score is essential for obtaining a financial assistance
during Masters programmes and in some cases during direct Doctoral
programmes in Engineering/Technology/Architechture, and Doctoral
programs in relevant branches of Science in an Institution supported
by the MHRD or other Government organizations. To avail the
financial assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure
admission to a programme in these Institutes, by a procedure that
could be different for each institute. Qualification in GATE is also
a minimum requirement to apply for various fellowships awarded by
many Government organizations.
However,candidates with a Master’s degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture may seek admission to relevant
Doctoral programmes with scholarship/assistantship without appearing
in the GATE examination.
Administration
GATE
is administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of
Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the
National Coordination Board (NCB) – GATE, Department of Higher
Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government
of India. The GATE Committee, which comprises of representatives from
the administering institutes, is the sole authority for conducting
the examination and declaring the results.
