Hlo dear,

1. If you get good enough score you can get jobs in PSUs.

2. If you are interested in mtech, you can get into IITs NITs and many other reputed colleges.

3. If you want to go into research, you can apply in CSIR Institutes as a junior research fellow. On completion you will be called a scientist.

4. If you are interested in none of the above there's still something for you. In any job interview the interviewers spend enough time to know how technically sound you are. They ask you about your aggregate percentage or CGPA. They ask you questions related to your branch. If you have a valid GATE score they won't ask you much as they know someone better than them has already tested you on a national level and they accept it.

5. There are few colleges ( kumarguru college in Coimbatore, one that I know of) interviews students from all across the country and finally accepts only few students among thousand of applicants. Those who get selected get a seat for 1 year sponsored mtech by Cameron Technologies ( a US based oil and gas company). After 1 year they get placed in the same company with a decent package.( oil and gas has vast opportunities for core branches and very good money). If you have a valid gate score, you don't have to appear in the written test and you are directly called for interview. So, in a crowd of of thousands you are filtered for the next few hundreds. The next round has to be cleared by you and that depends on you.

There can be many more benefits. These are a few things from just my view and knowledge.

Hope this will help you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. GATE is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee) on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development and Government of India.

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 Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) or other Government agencies. As per the directives of 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 and an admission test / interview conducted by the department to which he/she has applied or the candidate’s academic record. If the candidate is to be selected through test/interview for post-graduate programs, the minimum of 70% weight-age is given to the performance in GATE and the remaining 30% weight-age can be given to the candidate’s performance in test/interview or academic record. The admitting institutes can, 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/assistant-ship.

Advantage of the GATE exam

The advantages of taking the GATE exam are varied. Here’s a look at the most important reasons:

Whether you can get admission to top notch M.Tech/ME/MS institutes depends largely on your GATE results.

Doing your master course in reputed institutes of India will give you a chance to learn the core engineering concepts form the best faculties in the country.

Opportunity to you learn in a highly competitive environment (best brains in the country) and thus, develops and broadens your intellectual thought process.

GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is also the qualifying test for many PSUs like Power Grid, IOCL etc. So if you want a high paying job with the security of a PSU, GATE is the only option for you.
