GATE 2016 Introduction

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE)

 is an all India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidates in various undergraduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and post-graduate level subjects in Science. The GATE score of a candidate reflects a relative performance level in a particular subject in the examination across several years. The score is used for admissions to post-graduate programs (e.g., M. E., M. Tech, direct Ph.D.) in centrally funded Indian institutes of higher education (i.e., institutes which are provided with financial assistance by MHRD and other Government agencies). The score is also used by some Public and Private Sector Undertakings for employment processes. Direct recruitment to Group A level posts i.e., Senior Field Office (SFO Tele), Senior Research Officer (SRO) (Crypto) and SRO(S&T) in Cabinet Secretariat is now being done on the basis of GATE scores.

 

The information in this brochure is mainly categorized into Pre-Examination (Eligibility, Application submission, Examination Centers etc.), Examination (Syllabus, Pattern, Marks/Score, Model Question Papers etc.) & Post-Examination (Answers, Results, Scorecard etc.) sections.
