Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an examination conducted every year by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and the seven other Indian Institutes of Technology.
Qualifying in GATE is a mandatory requirement for seeking admission to:
(i) Master’s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering/ Technology/ Architecture and
(ii) Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Science, in the institutions supported by the MHRD and other Government agencies.
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering has been conducted online and the duration of the exam is 3 hours. The question paper consists of 65 questions for a total of 100 marks. The question paper consists of 2 types of questions:
Pattern of GATE Examination
(i) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
Each MCQ would carry 1 or 2 marks each in all the papers and sections. These questions are objective in nature, and each will have a choice of four answers, out of which the candidate must choose the correct answer. Note that there will be negative marking for a wrongly selected answer. For 1-mark MCQ, 1/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer. Likewise, for 2-mark MCQ, 2/3 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer.
(ii) Numerical Answer Type (NAT) Questions
Each NAT question carry 1 or 2 marks each in all the papers and sections. For these questions, the answer is a signed real number, which needs to be entered by the candidate using the virtual numeric keypad on the monitor (keyboard of the computer will be disabled). No choices will be shown for these types of questions. The answer can be a number such as 10 or -10 (an integer only). The answer may be in decimals as well. There is no negative marking for a wrong answer in NAT questions.
