Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering – popularly referred to as GATE has come to be known as de-facto benchmark for engineering students which is accepted throughout India by IISC, IITs and all leading universities & Technical Institutions. Some of the foreign universities like Singapore Technical University also recognise and accept GATE score.
Earlier GATE used to be a technical knowledge checking examination for admission in any of the Post Graduate Technical Course, but starting from 2010, with the inclusion of reasoning, aptitude and verbal ability areas in the examination has made GATE to act as a substitute for recruitment for Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) as well.
A good score holder in GATE is expected to posses the following qualities:
• Sound theoretical concepts of respective stream due to 70% weight age of technical syllabus.
• Good analytical Skills due to presence of engineering mathematics, Numerical answer type problems, Linked answer type questions & common data question.
• Good logical skills, as 15% of the paper consist of Reasoning, Aptitude & English questions.
• Good problem solving approach as test paper also has mathematics as a major subject.
• Nationwide competence in technical knowledge.
Salient features of GATE exam are:
• All India level examination.
• Every year nearly 1 million students appear in the examination.
• The exam is conducted by a board consisting of 7 Old IITs & IISC Bangalore.
• GATE Score is valid for 3 years effective 2015 (applicable only for M. Tech. Admissions), PSUs accept GATE score only for the year of recruitment i.e. for recruitments for 2015, score of only GATE 2015 is valid.
• GATE is an Online exam with one or more sessions for a stream depending on the number of candidates for a specific stream. e.g. GATE 2015 for ME stream was conducted in 3 sessions spread over 2 days.
• GATE score can also be used for JRF-GATE positions in various CSIR laboratories.
• GATE also opens the gateway for joining India’s premier nuclear research facility i.e. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
• 6 of the 7 MAHARATNAs besides a large number of NAVRATNA PSUs have signed MoU with GATE Committee in 2015. In addition, some of the prestigious private sector companies are also now short listing candidates based on GATE score. Notable among the companies recruiting fresh engineers based on GATE score are IOCL, HPCL, BHEL, NTPC, PGCIL, MDL (among PSUs) and L&T in private sector etc.
• GATE qualified candidates pursuing their M Tech in any of the govt recognised colleges & Universities get monthly stipend of Rs 12,500/- from Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). .
• Another premier institute National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Mumbai accepts GATE score card for admission into 3 of its post graduate programmes i.e. PGDIE, PGDMM & PGDPM.
• A candidate wanting to appear for GATE can appear in any of the 22 streams specified in notification. Any engineer of a different stream can appear in any of the specified paper.
In this era of technology, GATE score card is surely a reflection of any engineer’s technical knowledge.
