Hello Aspirant,

GATE is a national level post graduate(M.Tech) entrance exam that is conducted each year jointly by the seven IIT's and IISc(bangalore).Every year it is conducted for 24 papers and the duration is for 3 hours.A valid GATE score is considered as an eligiblity criteria for admission in MTech programmes in all the IIT's ,NIT's and the leading reputed institutes in India.Even some foreign universities in Singapore accept GATE score for their PG admission.GATE is one of the difficult exam but if you have a dedicated plan and if you put in some serious hardwork you can easily crack it.In  GATE exam is totally for 100 marks and there will be 65 questions(1mark and 2 marks).Of these 30 marks will be for Engineering mathematics and General Aptitude.The remaining will be from your core subjects.There will be nearly 10 core subjects and that depends on your branch.Apart from this you have aptitude and mathematics.So vigorous effort is needed to crack this exam.Students start preparing for this exam from 2nd year of their Engg course usually.It would be better if you could start it even more earlier to beat the competition.First concentrate on Mathematics and aptitude then start from your favourite core subject.This would prove helpful.

Hello Abir,

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an examination that held for various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science.

The GATE is conducted jointly by the

Indian Institute of Science

(IISc) and seven Indian

Institutes of Technologies

(IITs) at Bombay, Chennai (Madras), Delhi, Guwahati, Roorkee, Kanpur and Kharagpur.

The GATE exam is conducted on behalf of the National Coordination Board, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.

The GATE score helps candidate to get admissions to various post-graduate education programs like Master of Engineering, Master of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy. Also the GATE scores are being used by the Public Sector Undertaking for recruiting engineers.

GATE CS or GATE CSE

Computer Science Engineering a sub-field of electronics engineering is a combination of both computer science and computer engineering programmes. It is the most sought after programme for the engineering aspirants.

Eligibility for Computer Science Engineering

To be eligible in order to apply for the Engineering the aspirants must have appeared in 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects. For taking admission in Computer Science Engg. candidates have to appear for various Engineering Entrance exams such as JEE, BITSAT, VITEEE and other State and autonomous colleges exam. Branches are allocated on the basis of the performance in exams and counselling.

GATE CSE 2019 Exam Details

GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2019, is a national level entrance test held by the

GATE Committee

in eight zones across India every year. The applicants can use the GATE score or rank for the admissions to Postgraduate courses like M.Tech, MS, PhD in various IIT & IISc institutes. Candidates may also use GATE score to get attractive jobs in PSUs.
