Why PSU’s choose GATE?PSU’s like Power Grid, NTPC, BPCL, HPCL, GAIL etc have started accepting GATE qualified applicants because the test not only examines the technical skills, but also the logical and analytical ability of a person.

Basic aptitude tests don’t say much about the competence of a candidate. GATE is an assurance of the applicant’s potential to get selected for recruitment procedure.

One needs to be very strong in fundamentals while appearing for the exam this time, as repetition from previous years question pattern is highly unlikely.

Securing good grades in GATE is an important criterion to get qualified for different Government Organizations and to embark on the journey of attaining highly coveted jobs in PSU’s.

Marks = Tells how much you got out of 100Rank= Tells your position (how much students before you)Percentile= Tells how much students behind you (0-100)Gate Score= Intellectual level of student(used for admission) (0 to 1000)

Gate ResultMarks………Rank………..Percentile…Gate Score..

V.P.Katekar

GATE Percentile ScoreThe percentile score of a candidate indicates the percentage of candidates who appeared in the same paper and scored less marks than him/her.

It is calculated as follows: ((Total No of Students appeared in your subject- Your Rank)/(Total No of students-1))*100

Suppose 200000 people appeared in the exam

Example 1 Your rank is 100Percentile = ((200000-100)/(200000-1))*100 = 99.95%

Example 2 Your rank is 1 Percentile = ((200000-1)/(200000-1))*100 = 100%

Example 3 Your rank is 200000Percentile = ((200000-200000)/(200000-1))*100 = 0%

V.P.Katekar

the GATE score is computed from             S =    Sq  +  ( St  -  Sq )  (  M - Mq )  /  (  Mt  -  Mq  )  

where,S = GATE Score (normalised) of a candidate,M = Marks obtained by a candidate in a paper,Mq = Qualifying marks for general category candidates in the paper,Mt = Average Marks of top 0.1% or 10 (which ever is higher) of candidates in the paper,St = GATE Score assigned to Mt (around 900), andSq = GATE Score assigned to Mq (around 300).Mq is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or μ+σ, whichever is higher. Here μ is the mean of marks in a paper and σ is the standard deviation.
