Hello Friend,
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordination Board - GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.

Here you have to select one paper as per the institute you are seeking to get admission.
You choose such subject that you know thoroughly,so that you score more.
If you are biotechnologist,then choose one that suits your profile.
If you have interest in math & can score high along it,you can prefer it
Thank you
