i am mechatronics 4 year student and i want to gate in electrical engineering please tell me i am eligible or not for PSU companies

Hello aspirant,

There is no GATE paper code for Mechatronics. You can either apply for Mechanical Engineering or Electronics and Communication Engineering to apply for the GATE exam. The paper code for both of these is ME and EC respectively.

It makes more sense to apply for GATE ME than other subjects as you'll have to take double the effort to study and pass the exam. As you do not have a background in EE applying for PSUs might be difficult, because the minimum educational qualification related to the respective stream will be considered and asked for at the time of recruitment.

You might have better opportunities if you apply for the Mechanical Engineer post at PSU through your GATE score after clearing the ME paper code.

I hope this information helps!

Thank You!

See if you clear the GATE Electrical paper then obviously you are eligible for the PSU but you need to have satisfy the qualification eligibility as asked by the PSU you are applying in. At this moment, if you search for the basic qualifications of most of the psu then there are no such eligibility conditions through which you can apply. So its better for you to pursue your MTech in a more broader field and then you can apply for jobs or positions. Although Mechatronics is a vast subject and there are need of such engineers in different sectors such as Air Force,Aircraft Engineering, Oceanography, Oil and Gas etc. So there are chances for you to get chances in Mechanical Engineering related field of expertise. So its better for you to qualify GATE MECHANICAL than Electrical. That way you may get scope in PSU who have eligibility criteria of Mechanical Engineering.
