GATE 2014

About GATE 2014

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination which primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology. The GATE score  reflects a relative performance of a candidate. The score is used for admissions in post-graduate engineering programmes (eg. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian higher education institutes with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies.  The score may also used by Public sector units like (  BHEL, ONGC ,DRDO , BEL , NTPC etc)for employment screening purposes.

  GATE is jointly conducted  by seven IITs  and IISc  Bangalore. There are 8 zones and the corresponding administrative institutes are:

Zone-1: IndianInstitute of Science, Bangalore
Zone-2: Indian Institute of TechnologyBombay
Zone-3: Indian Institute of TechnologyDelhi
Zone-4: Indian Institute of TechnologyGuwahati
Zone-5: Indian Institute of TechnologyKanpur
Zone-6: Indian Institute of TechnologyKharagpur 
Zone-7: Indian Institute of TechnologyMadras 
Zone-8: Indian Institute of TechnologyRoorkee

The overall coordination and responsibility of conducting GATE 2014 lies with Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, and is designated as the Organizing Institute for GATE 2014.

Financial Assistance

A valid GATE score is essential for obtaining a financial assistance during Masters programmes . Institution supported by the MHRD or other Government organizations.  To avail the financial assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure admission to a programme in these Institutes, by a procedure that could be different for each institute.  Qualification in GATE is also a minimum requirement to apply for various fellowships awarded by many Government organizations. The amount will be Rs8000 per annum.

However, candidates with a Master’s degree in {Engineering/Technology/Architecture} may seek admission to relevant Doctoral programmes with scholarship/assistantship without appearing in the GATE examination.
