GATE

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India

examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of

various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science.

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is basically an examination on

the comprehensive understanding of the candidates in various

undergraduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and post-

graduate level subjects in Science.

The GATE exam is conducted on behalf of the National Coordination Board –

GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources

Development (MHRD), Government of India.


Importance

GATE Exam Paper Pattern

Negative Marking for Wrong Answers (MCQ and NAT)

For a wrong answer chosen for the multiple choice questions (MCQ), there

would be negative marking.

a) For 1-mark multiple choice questions, 1/3 mark will be deducted for a

wrong answer.

b) For 2-mark multiple choice questions, 2/3 mark will be deducted for a

wrong answer.

However, there is no negative marking for a wrong answer in numerical

answer type questions (NAT).

Changes Made in GATE 2015

The entire application process is made online. All required documents have to be scanned and uploaded on the online application system. Candidates no longer have to send anything by post.

GATE score's validity is increased from 2 years to 3 years.

Printed (i.e. hard-copy) score cards are no longer sent to candidates. Only a digital (i.e. soft-copy) score card can be downloaded by qualified candidates from the official GATE website.


GATE Percentile

• GATE Rank also called as AIR or All India Rank tells how far are you from top in

a particular year and in a particular subject.

• Every GATE Qualified Candidate is given a GATE Rank. Its an integer number

which tells your position in the exam and paper for the year in which you have

given the exam.

– Example AIR-30 in CS-16 means you are at the 30th position from top in

Computer Science GATE Exam conducted in year 2016.

• GATE score is calculated out of 1000, unlike marks which are out of 100. It is

calculated using a formula which can be found on organizing institute's

website. In fact, this is the most important term used for admission and in

declaring cut off - call for Interview/Test and admission.


• P = ( (N - your rank)/ N) x 100

Where,

P : percentile

N : total number of candidates appeared for exam.

(N- Your rank) indicates the number of candidates who have scored less

marks than you.

• Example:

My rank is 100.

Total Appeared is 18000.

My GATE score is 409.

P = ( (18000-100)/18000 x 100 = 99.44 %

so your percentile is 99.44

• GATE 2018 score is valid for THREE YEARS from the date of announcement of the

results.
