GATE
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an All India Examination administered and
conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf
of the National Co-ordination Board-GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of
Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.
The Need of GATE Score
As per the directives of the MHRD, the following procedure is to be adopted for
admission to postgraduate programmes (Master and Doctoral) with MHRD
scholarship/assistantship. The performance of the candidate in GATE will be considered for
admission. If the candidate is to be selected through interview for postgraduate programmes,
minimum 70% weightage is to be given to the performance in GATE. The remaining weightage
(30% maximum) can be given to the candidate's academic record or performance in interview.
Candidate opting for a general paper (XE or XL) may be further examined (by interview/written
test) by the admitting institution. In such cases also, the weightage for performance in GATE
should not be less than 70%. The admitting institution will prescribe minimum passing
percentage of marks in the interview. Some colleges/institutes specify GATE qualification as the
mandatory requirement even for admission without MHRD scholarship/assistantship.
Candidates are advised to seek details of admission procedures and availability of MHRD
scholarship/assistantship from the concerned admitting institution. The criteria for postgraduate
admission with scholarship/assistantship are different for different admitting institutions. GATE
offices will not entertain any enquiry about admission and award of scholarship/assistantship. It
is the responsibility of the admitting institution to award the MHRD scholarship/assistantship to
only those candidates who secured marks equal to or more than the "qualifying mark" in the
concerned GATE paper and for the corresponding category of the candidate. The management of
the postgraduate scholarship/assistantship is also the responsibility of the admitting institution.
The GATE committee also has no role in the award or disbursement of scholarship/
assistantship. Similarly, reservation of seats under different categories is as per the policies and
norms prevailing at the admitting institution and Government of India rules.
A candidate declared "GATE qualified at the time of admission" is entitled for MHRD
fellowship for 24 months unless he/she loses it due to poor performance in the registered
programme.The students of Integrated Master Degree and Dual Degree programmes in
Engineering/ Technology are eligible to appear in GATE 2011 in order to qualify for the
postgraduate scholarships in their own institutions only. They are not eligible for admission to a
fresh M.E./M.Tech. programme.
Tentative Schedule for GATE
Notification of Examination : September
Conduct of Examination : February 1st week (online) and 2
nd week (offline)

GATE EXAMINATION PATTERN
A candidate can apply for only ONE of the 21 papers listed in the table given below. In
the tables given below, the columns titled 'Paper Title' and 'Section Title' provide links to the
appropriate syllabus. The choice of the appropriate paper is the responsibility of the candidate.
Some guidelines in this respect are suggested below. The candidate is expected to appear in a
paper appropriate to the discipline of his/her qualifying degree. The candidate is, however, free
to choose any paper according to his/her admission plan, keeping in mind the eligibility criteria
of the institutions in which he/she wishes to seek admission.
The GATE examination consists of a single paper of 3 hours duration which contains 65
questions carrying a maximum of 100 marks. The question paper will consist of only objective
questions. All the questions are of multiple choice type. For multiple choice type questions, each
question will have four choices for the answer. There will be negative marking for each wrong
answer. Each GATE paper shall have a General Aptitude (GA) component carrying 15 marks.
