GATE stands for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering. It is conducted every year by the Indian Institute of Technology.

Brief introduction about GATE exam:

This is an online test consisting of 65 questions of 100 marks. About 15 questions are from general aptitude and rest questions are from the core technical subjects.

There is one mark and two mark questions and negative marking of 1/3rd and 2/3rd for wrong answers.

Eligibility criteria:

Any candidate who has done bachelor's degree in engineering or technology from a recognized university can apply for the exam and candidates who have done master's degree in science can also apply for the exam.

There is no upper age limit for the exam and no limit on number of attempts in the exam.

Importance of GATE exam:

Nowadays the importance of GATE exam is increasing day by day. Earlier GATE used to serve as the purpose of master's degree in technology admission for candidates.

But now most of the Public Sector Undertakings have started to take admission on the basis of GATE scorecard. Candidates who obtain top ranks are called for recruitment in PSUs like BHEL, SAIL, GAIL etc.

So, you can give GATE exam if you are interested in taking admission in M.Tech programme or getting jobs in PSUs.

Well friend gate stands for graduate aptitude test in engineering.This exam is conducted every year combinedly by iisc and different old iits.
Any engineering graduate or that who has completed masters in science can give this exam.
Nowadays gate has gained so much importance as several psus have started recruiting through this exam and it is also for higher studies.
Thank you
