What is GATE?
- GATE stands for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, an all-India examination of engineers.
- It is administered and conducted in eight zones across the country by the GATE committee comprising of faculty members from IISc, Bangalore and seven IITs on behalf of the National Coordinating Board, Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development.
- GATE is the gateway for the admissions to postgraduate programmes like M.E., M.Tech, M.S., PhD in the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and other top notch engineering colleges of India. Students who pursue these courses after getting admission through GATE also avail the financial scholarship given by MHRD, India.
- Not only this, many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in India directly recruit through GATE for various elite jobs with attractive remuneration.
- A candidate has an option to appear in any one subject out of the 23 subjects (tabulated below) in GATE examination. However, candidates are expected to appear in a paper appropriate to the discipline of their qualifying degree.

Importance of GATE
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is mainly conducted to test the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science.GATE is highly important for engineers because:
- GATE is the entrance test for engineering students for getting admissions to various Post-Graduate and Doctoral programs in higher education institutes of India (IITs, IISc& other top notch engineering colleges) with financial assistance provided by MHRD, Government of India.
- Higher salaries are offered for M.Tech/ M.E. candidates.
- M.E. / M.Tech candidates get good salary packages as faculty positions in private engineering colleges of India.
- Pursuing Master’s Degree gives great learning and research opportunities.
- Many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in India such as BHEL, Indian Oil Corporation, NTPC, NHPC, PSPCL etc. use GATE scores to recruit graduate engineers for elite engineering and administrative jobs with good salary packages.
- Candidates who have good GATE scores can apply for faculty / research positions in educational institutes / R&D centres such as CSIR, CBRI, BARC, CSIO etc. They become eligible to get financial scholarships as Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) or Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Working in good institutes increase the candidate’s exposure as they get to interact with renowned scientists all over the world.
- GATE qualified candidates are preferred in many industries and foreign universities. Worldwide reputed universities like NUS and NTU Singapore admit directly through GATE scores in their post graduate programs.

Type of Questions : GATE 2020
GATE 2020 would contain questions of two different types in various papers:
(A) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) carrying 1 or 2 marks each in all papers andsections. These questions are objective in nature, and each will have a choice of fouranswers, out of which the candidate has to mark the correct answer(s).
(B) Numerical Answer Questions of 1 or 2 marks each in all papers and sections.For these questions the answer is a real number, to be entered by the candidateusing the virtual keypad. No choices will be shown for this type of questions.
Design of Questions
The questions in a paper may be designed to test the following abilities:
(a) Recall: These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline of the paper. The candidate is expected to be able to obtain the answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at most from a one-line computation.
(b) Comprehension: These questions will test the candidate’s understanding of the basics of his/her field, by requiring him/her to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas.
(c) Application: In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge either through computation or by logical reasoning.
(d) Analysis and Synthesis: In these questions, the candidate is presented with data, diagrams, images etc. that require analysis before a question can be answered. A Synthesis question might require the candidate to compare two or more pieces of information. Questions in this category could, for example, involve candidates in recognizing unstated assumptions, or separating useful information from irrelevant information.
CIZ Success Stories : GATE
“The Classroom Study Course for GATE at CIZ is well – planned and upto the mark. The classroom teaching helped me a lot in improving my GATE score. Compete India Digests provided gave an overview to all areas and the important areas that need to be concentrated. Thanking all the faculty members (esp. Akshaye Sir) and staff at CIZ for their help and guidance.”

“For any GATE aspirant, tests are the true benchmark of performance, and they provide an accurate picture of one’s preparation. Given their importance, it is vital that a student selects the best possible test series that gives an actual feel of the exam. CIZ test series was complete in all these aspects, with the tests being very similar to actual GATE, and coupled with in-depth analysis, these tests ensured that I could keep a constant check of my performance in all areas.”

“I owe my success to COMPETE INDIA ZONE. Their pedagogy strengthened all my concepts and everything became crystal clear. No question felt daunting anymore. All those topics that seemed difficult at first became easy and interesting. The test series further polished my knowledge and continuously helped me to keep track of my progress.Apart from teaching, the motivation received from the faculty was impeccable. A huge credit for my selection goes to COMPETE INDIA ZONE.”
