Objective

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.

Why should we take GATE:

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.
Important Dates:

You have to opt for your subject and study as per the syllabus mentioned in the GATE brochure.
The subjects of our interest are Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering., Electrical Engineering and Instrumentation Engineering. Other subjects are also available such as Mathematics, Physics, etc.
Results of qualified candidates in GATE will give All India Rank and indicate percentile score. For example, a percentile score of 99 means you are in the top 1% category of the candidates who appeared for GATE.
Candidates who get less than 70 percentile get no score card.
