I Admire That It Is Must Necessary To All The Engineers To Write This Exam As It Test’s The “REAL ENGINEERING SKILLS”.

Let`s Now Analyze What Makes GATE So Important As A Career Deciding Factor.

ü  A Gateway To Extensive Practical Exercises, Various Case Studies, Simulation & Modeling Of Real Life Problems, Individual And Group Projects, Research Publications/Presentations In Journals/Conferences Etc.

ü  GATE Qualified Students Are Awarded Scholarship / Assistantship Of Minimum Rs 5000/- Or More Per Month In All Engineering Colleges / Institutes. 

ü  GATE Qualified Candidates In The Engineering Disciplines Are Also Eligible For The Award Of Junior Research Fellowship At CSIR Laboratories.

ü  Foreign Universities & Industries Prefer GATE Qualified Candidates.

ü  Some institutions specify GATE qualification as mandatory even for admission of self-financing students to postgraduate programs. GATE qualified candidates are also eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories and CSIR sponsored projects. Top rank holders in some GATE papers are entitled to apply for “Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship” awarded by CSIR. Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist/Engineer.

ü  In recent years, various academicians have recognized GATE as being one of the toughest exams in its category. Some non-Indian universities like the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and some technical universities in Germany also identify GATE score as a parameter for judging the quality of the candidates for admission into their Masters and Ph.D. programs.

ü  Some management institutes like NITIE, Mumbai offer admission to Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering on the basis of GATE score.

M^g t = average marks of top 0.1 % of the candidates in all sessions of that subject.
M ^g q = mean + standard deviation, of marks of all candidates in all sessions of that subject
Mti = average marks of top 0.1 % of candidates in the i^th session of that subject
M_iq = mean + standard deviation, of marks of candidates in the i^th session of that subject 

In 2014, examination for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME subjects is being held in multiple sessions. Hence, for these subjects, a suitable normalization is applied to take into account any variation in the difficulty levels of the question sets across different sessions.

The normalization is done based on the fundamental assumption that in all multi session GATE Papers, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the sessions"

According to the GATE COMMITTEE this assumption is justified since "the number of candidates appearing in multi in GATE 2014 is large and the procedure of allocation of session to candidates is random.
Further it is also ensured that for the same multi-session subject the number of candidates allotted in each session is of the same order of magnitude."

After evaluation of the answers, normalized marks based on the above

formula will be calculated using the raw (actual) marks obtained by

candidate in the CE, CS, EC, EE or ME subject. The "score" will be

calculated using these normalized marks. For all other subjects (whose tests

are conducted in a single session), the actual marks obtained by the

candidates will be used in calculating the score 

calculation of GATE Score for all subject (both single-session and multiple-session):

M_q = Qualifying marks for general category candidates.

M_t = Average marks of top 0.1 % or top 10 (whichever is higher) candidates.

S_q=350.

S_t=900.

Note: In case of multiple -session subject (EC,CS,ME,EE and CE),"marks" considered are the "normalized marks".

From GATE 2014 onward (and year 2014-15of the 2-year validity period of GATE 2013 score), a candidate`s GATE score is computed by the following new formula .^[10]
