Hello careers360 I am prasanna doing graduation in information technology, am I eligible to try gate before completing my graduation i.e can i write gate during 3 rd year
GATE 2025: Syllabus | Sample Papers
No, a 3rd year student is not considered to be eligible for appearing in GATE examination.
To be eligible one must have completed a Bachelors Degree in Engineering or Masters Degree in a relevant Science Subject.Though you can appear un your final year.
I hope this helps.
Hi Prasanna,
To be eligible to answer GATE, you need to complete a 4-year degree in bachelor of Engineering. That means, you cannot answer GATE during your third year. You need to complete your graduation or must be in final year in order to fulfill the eligibility criteria. Also, note that a student doing a three year degree course like Bsc and BCA is not eligible as well.
