Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordination Board .GATE is the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) and Government of India. It is an all-India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science.
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 in Indian higher education institutes, with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other government agencies. Recently, GATE scores are also being used by several Indian public sectors for recruiting graduate engineers in entry-level positions. It is one of the most competitive examinations in India.
