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
