GATE என்பது
பொறியியல் முதுகலைப் பட்ட படிப்பிற்கான நுழைவுத்தேர்வாகும்.
மேலும் இது பொதுத்துறை நிறுவனங்களில்
வேலைக்கான நுழைவுத்தேர்வாகவும் சில நிறுவனங்களால் அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
இத்தேர்வு ஆண்டுதோறும் பிப்ரவரி மாதம் இரண்டாம் ஞாயிறு
தொடங்கும். இந்தமுறை அனைத்து தேர்வுகளும் இணையமயமாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதால் முன்கூட்டியே தொடங்க உள்ளது. இத்தேர்வுக்கான
விவரங்களை ஆங்கிலத்திலேயே தருகிறேன்.
About GATE
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and
seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur,
Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) jointly administer the conduct of GATE. The
operations related to GATE in each of the 8 zones are managed by a zonal GATE
Office at the IITs or IISc. The Organizing Institute (OI) is responsible for
the end-to-end process and coordination amongst the administering Institutes.
The Organizing Institute for GATE 2014 is IIT Kharagpur.
Financial Assistance
A valid GATE score is essential for
obtaining financial assistance during Master’s programs and direct Doctoral
programs in Engineering/Technology/Architecture, and Doctoral programs in
relevant branches of Science in Institutes supported by the MHRD or other
Government agencies. As per the directives of the MHRD, the following procedure
is to be adopted for admission to the post-graduate programs (Master’s and
Doctoral) with MHRD scholarship/assistantship. Depending upon the norms adopted
by a specific institute or department of the Institute, a candidate may be
admitted directly into a course based on his/her performance in GATE only or based
on his/her performance in GATE andan admission test / interview
conducted by the department to which he/she has applied and/or the
candidate’s academic record. If the candidate is to be selected through
test/interview for post-graduate programs, the minimum of 70% weightage will be
given to the performance in GATE and the remaining 30% weightage will be given
to the candidate’s performance in test/interview and/or academic record, as per
MHRD guidelines. The admitting institutes could however prescribe a minimum
passing percentage of marks in the test/interview. Some colleges/institutes
specify GATE qualification as the mandatory requirement even for admission
without MHRD scholarship/assistantship.
To avail the financial assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure admission to a program in these Institutes, by a procedure that could vary from institute to institute. Qualification in GATE is also a minimum requirement to apply for various fellowships awarded by many Government organizations. Candidates are advised to seek complete details of admission procedures and availability of MHRD scholarship/assistantship from the concerned admitting institution. The criteria for postgraduate admission with scholarship/assistantship could be different for different institutions. The management of the post-graduate scholarship/assistantship is also the responsibility of the admitting institution. Similarly, reservation of seats under different categories is as per the policies and norms prevailing at the admitting institution and Government of India rules. GATE offices will not entertain any enquiry about admission, reservation of seats or award of scholarship/assistantship.
Employment
Several public sector undertakings (PSUs)
have, in the past, used GATE scores for screening for providing a salaried
employment. A select few such organizations are: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre,
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, National
Thermal Power Corporation, Power Grid India, etc. It is expected that such PSUs
would use GATE Scores this year as well.
Note: GATE
administration is not responsible for employment opportunities. Candidates
qualified must check newspapers and other reliable sources for any such
information.
Administration
GATE is administered and conducted jointly
by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of
Technology (IITs) on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB)-GATE,
Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD),
Government of India. The GATE committee, which comprises of representatives
from these administering institutes, is the sole authority for regulating the
examination and declaring the results.
GATE is conducted through the constitution
of eight zones. The zones and the corresponding administrative institutes are:
Zone-1: Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore
Zone-2: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Zone-3: Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
Zone-4: Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Zone-5: Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
Zone-6: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
Zone-7: Indian Institute of Technology Madras
Zone-8: Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee
Zone-2: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Zone-3: Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
Zone-4: Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Zone-5: Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
Zone-6: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
Zone-7: Indian Institute of Technology Madras
Zone-8: Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee
The overall co-ordination and
responsibility of conducting GATE 2014 lies with Indian Institute of
Technology Kharagpur, which is designated as the Organizing
Institute (OI) for GATE 2014.

- From the GATE Online Application Processing System (GOAPS), you
will be redirected to the website of the bank of your choice.
- You will have to login with your bank’s Netbanking (or Internet
Banking) user ID and password.
- The fee amount and bank charges will be shown to you, and you
have to confirm that the payment is for GATE 2014.
- Once you confirm and the payment is successful, you will be
redirected back to the GATE Online Application Website.
- If you have some difficulty (due to internet connection or
power failure), and you are not sure whether your payment has been
processed or not, then please login back to GOAPS and check the status of
the payment. You can also check the status from your bank.
- In case the fee amount has been debited from your bank account
, however, GOAPS does not acknowledge any fee payment, then the money will
be credited back to your account within three working days.
- In such a case, you may initiate a fresh payment using GOAPS,
even without waiting for the money to be credited back to your account, so
that your application is on time. You may wish to switch to the offline
challan payment.
- If you had chosen offline payment option while filling in the
form, you will be provided with a copy of the challan in triplicate (PDF
file) with your details already filled in. You have to print this file on
an A4 size paper, and have to fill in a few more details such as date and
signature.
- Once the PDF of the online application form is generated, you
have to wait for at least 48 hours to visit the bank with the
filled challan and make the fee payment.
- You may take the challan to any of the nearest branches of
State Bank of India (SBI) or Syndicate Bank and make the application fees
payment. Note that for this, you do not need to have an account in
that branch.
- The bank teller will verify the details printed on the challan
with the data available on their Management Information System (MIS) and
then accept the payment. Note that your payment will NOT be
accepted if you go to the bank earlier than 48 hrs as mentioned
in Point no. 2 above. This is because it will take some time after
generation of PDF online application to reflect the data in the respective
bank MIS.
- The bank will retain one copy of the challan and give you back
the remaining two copies: one of which you are required to send along with
the printed application form, while the other is for your record.
