The Graduate Aptitude Test in
Engineering (GATE) is
an examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various
undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. GATE is conducted jointly by
the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee)
on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher
Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.
The
GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a
candidate. The score is used for admissions to various post-graduate education programs (e.g. Master of Engineering,
Master of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy) in Indian higher education
institutes, with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other government
agencies. Recently, GATE scores are also being used by several Indian public
sector undertakings (i.e., government-owned companies) for recruiting graduate
engineers in entry-level positions. It is one of the most competitive
examinations in India. Based on the success story of IITs all over the world,
GATE is also recognized by various international institutes such as Nanyang
Technological University, Singapore.
