Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination
that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidate in
various undergraduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and
post-graduate level subjects in Science. The GATE score of a candidate reflects
a relative performance level in a particular subject in the exam across several
years. The score is used for admissions to post-graduate programs (e.g., M.E.,
M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian institutes of higher education with financial
assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies.
The score may also be used by Public and Private Sector Undertakings for
employment screening purposes. The information in this brochure is mainly
categorized into Pre-Examination (Eligibility, Application submission,
Examination Centers, etc.), Examination (Syllabus, Pattern, Marks/Score, Model
Question Papers, etc.) & Post-Examination (Answers, Results, Scorecard,
etc.) sections.
