Hello Runjhu,

GATE examination is conducted every year in month of february for Mechanical,Electrical,Computer,Electronics and Instrumentation branches of engineering.Candidates can appear in this exam every year as there is no limit in number of attempts.

Now, coming to the validity of GATE score card, it is valid for 3 years for pursuing M.E/Mtech from IITs/NITs/IIITs/IISC/BITS/DTU/NSIT/THAPAR and other various colleges.In M.E/Mtech you get scholraship of Rs 12,400 per month  by AICTE.The AICTE scholarship is valid for 24 months(2 years) from the date of joining the M.E/Mtech PG programme.Canditates will be given unique ID by their respective institute and documents will be uploaded within the specific time period.The canditates will be required to spend 8 to 10 hours(per week) for research and teaching tasks assigned to them by their respective Institution.They have to take tutorials,laborartory classes of undergraduate students and maintain the laboratories,research activities undertaken by faculty members.

The scholarship is granted to students on monthly basis according to the rules and regulation of University/Institution.The scholarship will not be granted to students who have already done M.E/Mtech once and they are again applying for another M.E/Mtech programme.

If you gate score is low in 2018 then you again appear in gate 2019 to improve your chances to get admission in IITs/NITs/IIITs etc. and also to appear for interviews for different Maharatna/Navratna/Miniratna PSUs.

For getting interview calls from PSUs, gate score is valid only for that present year in which the canditate have appeared, that means it has validity of 1 year only from the commencent of exam. Canditates are not eligible to get admission in PSUs after from the previous year gate score.
