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.

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.
