About GATE –
GATE is an All India Examination conducted by the seven Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), and the Government of India. GATE qualified candidates in Engineering disciplines are also eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist/Engineer.
GATE 2014 examination was conducted for the first time in computer based mode for all the papers this year. The number of students taking the test in GATE 14 was 8,89,156 which is about 10 % lower than 9,84,855 students who appeared in GATE 13. The decrease in test takers can be attributed to a significant drop of female candidates in GATE 14. One reason for the drop is that there was no application fee for female candidates in GATE 13 while there was a fee of Rs 750 in GATE 14 for them.
Apart from admission to post graduate programs in IITs, NITs and other engineering colleges in India, GATE score is used by many Public Sector Undertakings for recruitment of fresh graduate engineers. GATE 2014 exam was conducted from 2nd February to 2nd March, 2014 over 3 weekends.
