General Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE) is the entrance exam conducted for M.Tech admission. The students who have completed B.Tech and want to pursue M.Tech are required to appear for the GATE entrance exam.

Apart from B.Tech graduates, the candidates who have completed M.Sc and MCA are also eligible for the General Aptitude Test for Engineering. Apart from offering admission in M.Tech, GATE is critical in getting PSU job.

There are various Public Sector Undertakings that select candidates for the job based on their performance in the GATE entrance exam. While rest of the PSU companies also give importance to good GATE score.

They will exempt a candidate with good GATE score from appearing in the written test. Apart from PSUs recently some companies have started to give importance to the GATE score while offering job through on campus placement.

To be eligible you must have either completed B.Tech graduation or should be at least in final year of the course. The GATE score is only valid for 2 years after which you will have to reappear.


Indian Engineering Service is the entrance exam conducted for job in government departments. The students appear for the IES entrance exam to get job and that is the sole purpose of this entrance exam.

Dear friend

Do not worry ,here I am explaining you about the both GATE and IES after which you will be able to understand the difference between the two:


About GATE exams

GATE is the Graduate Aptitude test in engineering.It is conducted by the Indian Institute of technology for selecting candidates who are eligible to pursue their master's degree in engineering or technology from the IITs.

Bachelor's degree in engineering or technology or master's degree in science ,computer applications is the minimum educational requirement for this exam.

There is no upper age limit and no bar on no of attempts.

Recently various PSUs like NTPC,BHEL,SAIL,GAIL etc has started to recruit candidates on the basis of GATE scorecard.

About IES exam:

In contrast to the GATE exam,IES is the Indian Engineering services which is conducted by the Union Public service commission.

For this exam you should have bachelor's degree in engineering or technology from a recognized university .

The age limit for the IES exam is 21-30 years and the age relaxations is three years to obc and five years to sc/st respectively.

There are four attempts for general candidates ,seven for OBC and no limit for the sc/st candidates.

It is three day entrance examination and if you clear this exam then you will able to get good and respectable job in the various field like Indian Railways,Defense etc.

Note: In terms of career aspects ,for an engineer IES is the best option than GATE exams.

Hope the information helps you.
