GATE is conducted as a computer-based test (CBT) and evaluates the comprehensive understanding of the candidates in various undergraduate subjects in Engineering, Technology, Science, and Architecture; and both undergraduate and post-graduate level subjects in Humanities and Science.

The GATE score reflects the relative performance level of the candidate in a test paper. GATE 2024 score will be valid for THREE YEARS from the date of announcement of results. Qualifying in GATE is useful for seeking admission and/or financial assistance to:

Master�s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering/Technology/Architecture; and
Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Engineering/Science/Technology/Architecture/Humanities, in institutions supported by MoE and other government agencies. Even in colleges and institutions that admit students without MoE scholarship/assistantship, GATE qualification may be useful.
