Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering
Organizing Institute:
Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
GATE, to be conducted from February-March 2014, will expand its online examination portfolio to all its 21 papers
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a test of time and technical skills. It tests a student’s understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and is conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the IITs. Based on the score acquired in the exam, students are eligible for admission to MTech programmes in engineering colleges and universities. GATE 2014 will expand its online examination portfolio to all 21 papers. This is the first time when all the papers of the exam will be conducted in the online mode. GATE first went online in 2010, when it conducted online exams for just two papers — textile engineering and fiber science, and mining engineering. The exam is spread over three hours and comprises 65 questions. It assesses fundamental engineering concepts and its implementation. To fare well in the exam, students should concentrate on semester teaching, especially on understanding concepts and its application. Solving previous year’s question papers can also help in improving scores. A good way to practice will be to map your section-wise performance because the exam assesses you on relative performance and not on an absolute marking system. The examination, an objective type test with four answer-options following each question, has a provision of one-third negative marking on every wrong answer.
GATE 2013 for some papers will be conducted online Candidates can make themselves familiar and get used to the interface in a simulated web based test. This web based interface is nearly identical in format, look, and feel to the actual exam to be conducted on 20 January 2013. Candidates are encouraged to practise with this interface as many times as they wish, and become familiar with it so that they spend less time on the day of the exam on understanding the interface, and concentrate more on answering the questions.
