3. Why GATE Exam • Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is basically an examination on the comprehensive understanding of the candidates in various undergraduate subjects in Engineering/ Technology/ Architecture and post-graduate level subjects in Science • GATE Exam is conducted by any one of the Seven Indian Institutes of Technology ( IIT Bengaluru, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, IIT Roorkee ) and Indian Institute of Science every year. Each institutes get chance to conduct GATE Exam in regular intervals of years. Visit@ www.vaniinstitute.com
4. Facts about GATE Exam • The GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate. The score is used for admissions to various Post-Graduate Education programs and direct Doctoral Programs in Engg./ Tech./Architecture. • Don’t have a misconception that GATE is only meant for ME/M.Tech which leads to the teaching career only. • There are multiple career options after qualifying GATE. Several Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) for direct recruitment to Group A level posts in Central Government and some other Government of India Organizations and to get Fellowship Programs from CSIR and Scholarships in ME/M.Tech and GATE can raise your chances of getting a good job. • The validity of the GATE score card is for 3 years. Candidates qualifying GATE cut off announced by IIT (exam conducted IIT) will be eligible to download their GATE score card. Visit@ www.vaniinstitute.com

14. Higher Education • One of the most sought-after career options after qualifying GATE is to pursue a postgraduate programme from a good engineering college. • You can go for an M-Tech, ME or MS course from an institution of your choice, based on your GATE rank, specialization area, and academic interests. If you have a good rank, then you may easily go for an ME or M-Tech programme at an IIT, NIT, or IISc. This can open great job avenues in future. • These top engineering institutes accept ranks up to 1500, varying by the institution. However, other private and government engineering colleges may accept ranks up to 2500 or above.
15. Campus Placement • In all top engineering institutes, including IITs, NITs, PEC, IISC, and DCE, ME or M-Tech students can get very good job placements in renowned companies. • Firms like Google, Samsung, Tata, Maruti, Cisco, and several other good companies pick engineering candidates holding a Masters-level qualification. • If you are exploring career options after qualifying GATE and doing M- Tech in engineering, then many companies will be ready to recruit you by offering high salary packages that a B-Tech degree cannot fetch for you.
