Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India test. The test is carried out jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology for admission to Masters in Technology (M.Tech) post graduate program. GATE is administered by these top technology institutes coming under the Department of Higher Education and National Coordination Board.

GATE carries out through the establishment of eight zones. The zones and the equivalent administrative institutes are:

• Zone-1: Indian Institute of Science Bangalore
• Zone-2: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
• Zone-3: Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
• Zone-4: Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
• Zone-5: Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
• Zone-6: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
• Zone-7: Indian Institute of Technology Madras
• Zone-8: Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

Structure of the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering

The GATE test duration is 3 hours. There are 65 questions with a maximum of 100 marks. Objective type questions are included in the GATE test. In the AE and TF papers, there are 60 multiple type questions. Four alternatives will be there. Numerical questions have a number as the answer.

Geophysics, Fiber Engineering, Aerospace and Mining papers can be answered through online. Some other papers with the same pattern are Geology and Textile. Candidates can mark right alternative by darkening the bubbles for all other papers. Numerical questions do not have negative marking. All other papers follow negative marking. There is General Aptitude part that carries 15 marks. Applicants can select any one paper from the list of 21.
