EXAMINATION IS SO
IMPORTANT ?
WHAT IS GATE EXAM

GATE is stands for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, It is

an online exam, whose score is used as a screening criteria for

but for job purposes, you need to have a most recent score.
Purpose of GATE Examination

The purpose of the GATE exam is to evaluate the students

knowledge and understanding of their under Graduate level
subjects in Engineering and Science. The GATE score reflects the
relative performance level of a candidate.
Every year lakhs of Engineering graduate students are coming
from universities and engineering colleges. In the present
competitive scenario, to measure and test the caliber of
engineering students is possible through the GATE exam only.
Myth About GATE Examination

There is a misconception among students is that the GATE exam

is only for ME. /M. Tech which finally leads to a teaching career
only. But, it is not correct. The GATE score of the candidate is also
used by several public sector undertakings(PSU) (i.e.,

intellectual thought process.
Recruitment Through GATE

Fellowship Programs :
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)
