GATE EXAM
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination that primarily
tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and
science.
GATE is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of
Technology (IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT
Roorkee) on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher
Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.
The GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate. The
score is used for admissions to various post-graduate programs (e.g. Master of Engineering,
Master of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy) in Indian higher education institutes, with
financial assistance provided by MHRD and other government agencies. Recently, GATE scores
are also being used by several Indian public sector undertakings (i.e., government-owned
companies) for recruiting graduate engineers in entry-level positions. It is one of the most
competitive examinations in India.

Latest list of companies (GATE 2014) - As of now, the following public sector undertakings have signed Memorandums of
Understanding (MoUs) with the GATE 2014 organizing committee, for using GATE 2014 score as a screening tool for recruiting engineers at entry level
positions-

• In all the papers, there will be a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks, out of which 10 questions carrying a
total of 15 marks are in General Aptitude (GA).
• In the papers bearing the codes AE, AG, BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, PI, TF and XE, the Engineering
Mathematics will carry around 15% of the total marks, the General Aptitude section will carry 15% of the total
marks and the remaining 70% of the total marks is devoted to the subject of the paper.
• Design of Questions –
• Recall: These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline of the paper. The candidate is expected to be able to
obtain the answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at most from a one-line computation.
• Comprehension: These questions will test the candidate’s understanding of the basics of his/her field, by requiring him/her to draw
simple conclusions from fundamental ideas.
• Application: In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge either through computation or by logical
reasoning.
• Analysis and Synthesis: In these questions, the candidate is presented with data, diagrams, images etc. that require analysis before a
question can be answered. A Synthesis question might require the candidate to compare two or more pieces of information.
Questions in this category could, for example, involve candidates in recognizing unstated assumptions, or separating useful
information from irrelevant information.
