Why to appear for GATE
During the four years of B.TECH, students might not be certain about what they wish to achieve next. The changing of this ambiguity into a concrete, motivated thought requires determination, focus and guidance.
Following one’s strength is a key to long term success.
Considering the technical strength of majority of students, the IITs and IISC annually conducts GATE for the students who wish to pursue higher studies in technical fields. This exam provides students with great opportunities to rise and gain success in future.
What is GATE?
GATE – Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is the most competitive exam which tests the comprehensive understanding of Undergraduate subjects in engineering and Science.
It is conducted in unison by all seven Indian Institutes of Technology in (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) on behalf of government of India, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and National Coordination Board-GATE.
It is considered to be one of the most difficult exams held ONLINE. GATE focuses on students’ technical skills in the various disciplines of Engineering and Science. The GATE score reflects the performance level of candidates.
How can GATE be useful for me?
GATE is a competitive exam which is conducted nation wide. You might be thinking that GATE can only be used for M.TECH admissions, but there is so much more to it.
Few important reasons why one should appear for this exam can be :
- Portal to higher studies.
- PSU recruitment after Graduation.

PORTAL TO HIGHER STUDIES
