Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordinating Board - GATE, Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.The GATE Exam committee, which comprises of representatives from the administering institutes, is the sole authority for regulating the examination and declaring the results. GATE is conducted through the constitution of eight zones. The zones and the corresponding administrative institutes are: Zone-1: Indian Institute of Science Bangalore Zone-2: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Zone-3: Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Zone-4: Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Zone-5: Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Zone-6: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur Zone-7: Indian Institute of Technology Madras Zone-8: Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Many students may not be aware that there are several institutions in this country, offering specialized postgraduate programmes in various disciplines. Attractive scholarship / Assistantship for postgraduate courses in engineering / Technology / Architecture /Pharmacy at Engineering colleges / institutes in the country ,are available to those who qualify through GATE Exam. List of Colleges offering ME/MTech and accepting GATE Score.

Objectives of GATE Exam To identify meritorious and motivated candidates for admission to Post Graduate Programmes in Engineering, Technology, Architecture and Pharmacy at the National level. To serve as benchmark for normalisation of the Undergraduate Engineering Education in the country is the main Objectives of GATE Exam.

Why should we take GATE Exam? M.Tech degree leads to specialization and furthering of interest in a certain area which may lead to Ph.D, M.Tech degree is best for those wishing to apply for Faculty/Research positions in educational Institutes/R&D centers should take GATE Exam.

Gate Exam Important Dates The Important Dates for Gate Exam every year Availability of GATE Exam forms: October, 1st week Last Date for filling up GATE Exam forms: November, 1st week GATE Exam Date: 2nd Sunday of February GATE Exam Results: March 15st

GATE Examination Details 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 multiple choice objective questions. Each question will have four choices for the answer. There will be negative marking for each wrong answer.

After GATE Examination After publication of GATE results, students must apply to individual Institutes to get their application forms. Institutes advertise M.Tech admissions in leading newspapers from 1st April till end July. However some Institutes do not advertise and therefore students have to get the forms themselves. In the application forms, you have to mention your GATE score along with other details. The concerned Institute may conduct written test and/or interview for the purpose of admission. General thumb rules: If your GATE score in Computer Science is 96 percentile or more then you can try for IITs, if between 85 - 96 percentile, then apply for top RECs, JADAVPUR, SHIBPUR, ROORKEE, etc. If less than 85, you have to look for appropriate institutes.

PREPARATION TIPS

After pursuing engineering, all engineering students stand at the crossroad of making a decisive choice so as to

explore interesting avenues as a choice for their careers. A majority of people opt for mainly two things that are

management or M.Tech. With the current economic scenario of the India, there are various colleges that are not

able to give 100% placement to their students. This results in candidates making a tough choice between

management and M.Tech. In order to get admission in M.Tech the examination that holds significant importance

on national as well as international level is GATE.

So, if you are the one seeking admission in post-graduation programmes in reputed engineering colleges and

institutes in India, you need to crack GATE. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), is an All-India

examination that holds high significant and is conducted in eight zones across India by the GATE committee. The

main objective of GATE test is to identify the quality of students and assess their potential to continue higher

education. By conducting GATE, it becomes easy to evaluate the students on the required skill scale and

consistency to pursue higher studies in the field of engineering.

With the cut-throat competition, even those who save more than 85% in the GATE examination, lag behind in

getting admissions into the reckoned institutions such as NITs and IITs. The questions of GATE are usually the

derivation of fundamentals and preparation of GATE is an ongoing process and is supposed to take place in

varied stages. Prepare your best with the fundamentals and then test yourself those fundamentals.

There are students who prepare at home with the number of book options available in the market today. Then

there are few aspirants who opt for correspondence coaching courses. A coaching material cannot be assessed

until one goes through the same word by word. Hence GATE aspirants can go by some tips of their seniors.

Those who are getting regular classroom coaching need to check whether the institute suits their requirement or

not by considering some of the following parameters:

• Distinct Study Material- Now-a-days all the coaching institutes offer study material for assistance in studies. But

if this material simply copy paste or re-write of materials taken from other books then these hold minimal

importance. In comparison to all this, there are several standard books on each subject by good authors which

can make your study enjoyable as well as interesting.

• Compilation of quality books- While studying theory, conceptualization and building application capabilities,

and one needs good collection of books, which can really put our brain on exercise. Ensure that your coaching

institute has a collection of good and informative books.

• Flexibility- There are aspirants who have slow or fast grasping power than the average. In such cases, it is better

to ascertain the model that suits your needs and provide enough guidance to you at the same time.

Page 34

• Tests and Evaluation Model- Ensure and track your progress through a set of tests and evaluation as this is the

most crucial part of the preparation. This is the main area where the students fail due to lack of essential test and

evaluation material.
