Can i give GATE exam after admission in PhD? If yes, will I get GATE scholarship also?

Dear student,

Yes, it is possible to take the GATE exam even after being admitted to a PhD program (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering). You can take the GATE exam while earning your PhD if you want to increase your score or use it for future applications because GATE results are valid for three years.

However, the specific policies of the institution and the funding agency would determine whether you can still receive a GATE scholarship for your PhD program after retaking the exam.

Here are some things to think about:

GATE Score: Three years after the exam year, your GATE score is still valid. As a result, even if you are accepted into a PhD program, you are still able to retake the GATE exam in an effort to raise your score.

GATE Scholarship: Candidates who receive a high GATE score and enroll in M.Tech programs or comparable postgraduate programs at universities that are a part of the scholarship program are typically granted GATE scholarships. Scholarships have nothing to do with getting a PhD.

Scholarships and support for PhD programs are frequently made available through a variety of methods. While GATE scores may raise your chances of getting a PhD, the scholarship application process for PhD candidates may differ and depend on things like your research plan, academic standing, and the availability of research grants.

Institutional Policies: This may be distinct from the GATE scholarship program, however certain universities may provide PhD candidates with additional financial aid or fellowships based on their performance.

Contact the Institution: It is preferable to get in touch with the organization where you were admitted if you are looking for financial assistance or scholarships for your PhD program. They can give you precise details on the funding possibilities available to PhD candidates.

External Scholarships: A wide range of external fellowships and scholarships are also offered to PhD candidates by various financing organizations, both governmental and non-governmental. You could get more money for your studies by looking into and applying for these options.

Keep in mind that regulations can differ from institution to university and from funding agency to funding agency. I advise getting in touch with your institution's PhD program office or academic affairs office if you're considering obtaining a PhD and need financial assistance to learn more about the scholarships and funding options available to PhD students.
