  • Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering - GATE 2011
    Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordination Board - GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.

    The GATE committee, which comprises of representatives from the 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
     
    The overall coordination and responsibility of conducting GATE 2011 lies with Indian Institute of Technology Madras, designated as the Organising Institute for GATE 2011

    Admission to postgraduate programmes with MHRD and some other Government scholarships/assistantships in engineering colleges/institutes is open to those who qualify in GATE examination. GATE qualified candidates with Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture or Master's degree in any branch of Science/Mathematics/Statistics/Computer Applications are eligible for admission to Master's degree programmes in Engineering/Technology/Architecture as well as for Doctoral programmes in relevant branches of Science with MHRD or other government scholarships/assistantships.
