GATE
EXAM
The
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination
administered and conducted in eight zones across the country by
the GATE Committee comprising faculty from Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of
the National Coordinating Board-GATE, Department of Education, Ministry
of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.
WHY GATE EXAM?
Admission
to postgraduate programmes with MHRD and some other
Government scholarships/assistantships in engineering
colleges/institutes is open to those who qualify in
GATE examination.
Taking
a cue from Indian Oil Corp (IOC), several other public-sector
oil companies, barring Oil and Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC), are looking at hiring engineers in entry-level
positions based on the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering
(GATE). Last year, IOC, India’s largest fuel retailer,
had recruited 200 engineers on the basis of their GATE
scores.
GATE
qualified candidates with Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture
or Master's degree in any branch of Science/Mathematics/Statistics/Computer
Applications are eligible for admission to Master's degree programmes
in Engineering/Technology/Architecture as well as for Doctoral programmes
in relevant branches of Science with MHRD or other government scholarships/assistantships.
To
avail the scholarship, the candidate must secure admission to such
a postgraduate programme, as per the prevailing procedure of the
admitting institution. However, candidates with Master's degree
in Engineering/Technology/Architecture may seek admission to relevant
Doctoral programmes with scholarship/assistantship without appearing
in the GATE examination.
GATE qualification is also a minimum requirement to
apply for various fellowships awarded by many Government
organizations.
