what exactly is the difference between GATE and UGC-NET in computer science?................sorry for sounding uninformed........ also which option is better and easier????????????

The Gate exam is taken by candidates who wish to take up Masters in Technology or Masters in Engineering course. For taking the UGC NET exam a minimum of Masters degree is a must. So if you are taking computer science as an option then you need to be an M.Tech/M.E. Also this test is taken by those who aspire to be Lecturers. So you need to decide based on what your career aspirations are.

The differnece is that GATE exam is conducted for M.Tech admission while NET exam is conducted for the college lectureship. Therefore if you want to become Lecturer then you will have to appear for the UG-NET exam.


However you can't do that right now. Since you have only completed B.tech, it makes you ineligible for the National Eligibility Test. To appear for NET exam for college lectureship, you need to have completed a post graduation degree. Therefore firstly you need to apply for post graduation course then only you can become college lecturer.


There are various post graduation options in front of you. The best choice would be M.Tech. To do so you will have to appear for the General Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE). Therefore the pattern for you would be:


1. Appear for the GATE exam and pass it succesfully

2. Complete M.tech with at least 55 percent marks (SC/ST 50%).

3. Appear for the National Eligibility Test.


However you can choose to select other course for Post graduation. If your intention is only college lectureship then you can also pick courses like Master of Computer Applications or the Master of Business Administration.


Since you have completed B.Tech in Computer Science, may I recommend that instead of lectureship, you apply for the Public Sector Undertaking jobs. You will need at least 60 percent marks in B.Tech to do so.


There are several PSUs which conducts entrance exam to hire Computer Science Engineers. You can find out about these exams in the employment dailies. It is important that if you are planning to appear for PSU exam then you should first complete the GATE exam because some Public Sector companies have replaced written test with GATE score of the candidate.

GATE-Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering

Though both are entrance examinations, they differ in exam pattern, purpose of exam etc. GATE exam is conducted for admission of candidates to Master of Technology (M.Tech) programs.
