Frequently asked questions about GATE exam

What is GATE?

GATE- Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is an all India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidate in various undergraduate subjects in Engineering & Technology. The GATE score reflects the relative performance level in a particular branch. GATE score is valid for three years. The score is used for admissions to post-graduate engineering programs in an Indian higher education institutes with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies. The score may also use by Public & Private sector unit ads for employment screening purposes.

Why should go for GATE Exams?

There are various reasons for one to go for GATE:

This     is an opportunity for the student to get a technical profile jobs in their     dream companies. Companies are more preferred towards recruiting tech(ME) students     during placements.

It     is also stipend based course with average stipend of Rs 15000/- to Rs     20000/- for GATE qualified students.

GATE     qualified candidates in the Engineering discipline are also eligible for     the award of JRF & SRF in CSIR Laboratories.

Some     government organizations (PSUs) prescribe GATE qualification as a     requirement.

Based     on the GATE score, some of the foreign university (Like NTU, Singapore) prefers     Ph.D. position without any GRE score.

What are the Eligibility Criteria for appearing in GATE?

Candidate     must be in the final year of the technical programmes either completed     Bachelors in Engineering/Technology/Architecture can apply.

Master's     degree holders in any branch of Science/Mathematics/Statistics/Computer     Applications or equivalent and those who are in the final or pre-final     year of such programmes.

Candidates     in the second or higher year of the Four-year Integrated Master's degree     programme (Post-B.Sc.) in Engineering/Technology or in the third or higher     year of Five-year Integrated Master's degree programme and Dual Degree     programme in Engineering/ Technology.

Candidates     with qualifications apply through examination conducted by professional     societies organized by UPSC/AICTE as equivalent to B.E./B.Tech. Those who     have completed Section A or equivalent of such professional courses are     also eligible.

How many times one can attempt GATE Exam and what is the age limit to appear in GATE?

Ans- Number of attempts is not restricted for GATE Exam. The best of the valid GATE score is accepted which we provide in application form. The GATE score is valid for 3 years only and there is no age limit to attempt GATE.

What is the latest GATE question paper pattern?

Ans- Total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions carrying a total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA).

In the papers bearing the codes AE, AG, BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, PE, PI, TF and XE, the Engineering Mathematics will carry around 15% of the total marks, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 70% percentage of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.

In the papers bearing the codes AR, CY, EY, GG, MA, PH and XL, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total marks and the remaining 85% of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.

What are the types of questions asked in GATE?

Ans- GATE 2016 would contain questions of two different types in various papers:

(i) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) carrying 1 or 2 marks each in all papers and sections. These questions are objective in nature, and each will have a choice of four answers, out of which the candidate has to mark the correct answer(s).

(ii) Numerical Answer Questions of 1 or 2 marks each in all papers and sections. For these questions the answer is a real number, to be entered by the candidate using the virtual keypad. No choices will be shown for this type of questions.

What is the process of calculation of GATE score?

Ans- GATE scores are totally dependent on highest marks & qualifying marks and may differ from year to year. For similar marks you get different scores during different years.

After the evaluation of the answers, distributed marks based on the above formula will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers and the GATE 2017 Score will be calculated based on the distributed marks. For all other papers, actual marks obtained will be used for calculating the GATE 2014 Score.

GATE 2017 Score calculate using the formula:

In the GATE 2017 score formula, MCQ is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or μ + σ , whichever is larger. Here μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation of marks of all the candidates who appeared in the paper.

What is the application fee for GATE?
