About GATE
Graduate Aptitude Test inEngineering (GATE) is an all India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology. The GATE score of a candidate reflects a relative performance of a candidate. The score is used for admissions to post-graduate engineering programmes (eg. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian higher education institutes with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies. The score may also used by Public sector units foremployment screening purposes.
Financial Assistance
A valid GATE score is essential for obtaining a financial assistance during Masters programmes and in some casesduring direct Doctoral programmes in Engineering/Technology/Architechture, and Doctoral programs in relevant branchesof Science in an Institution supported by the MHRD or other Government organizations. To avail the financial assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure admission to a programme in these Institutes, by a procedure that could be different for each institute. Qualification in GATE is also a minimum requirement to apply for various fellowships awarded bymany Government organizations.
However, candidates with a Master’s degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture may seek admission to relevant Doctoral programmes with scholarship/assistantship without appearing in the GATE examination.
Administration
GATE is administered and conducted jointly by the IndianInstitute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB) – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD),Government of India. The GATE Committee, which comprises of representatives from the administering institutes, is the sole authority for conducting the examination and declaring the results.
GATE is conducted through theconstitution of eight zones. The zones and the corresponding administrative institutes are:
Zone-1: Indian Institute ofScience, Bangalore
Zone-2: Indian Institute ofTechnology Bombay
Zone-3: Indian Institute ofTechnology Delhi
Zone-4: Indian Institute ofTechnology Guwahati
Zone-5: Indian Institute ofTechnology Kanpur
Zone-6: Indian Institute ofTechnology Kharagpur
Zone-7: Indian Institute ofTechnology Madras
Zone-8: Indian Institute ofTechnology Roorkee
The overall coordination and responsibility of conducting GATE 2013 lies with Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and is designated asthe Organizing Institute forGATE 2013.
