Hello Heemanshu,

Graduate Aptitude test in Engineering(GATE) exam is conducted yearly once to provide admissionss into post graduate courses in various prestigious institutes like IITs,NITs,IIITs etc.. and also to be taken into various jobs in Public Sector Undertakings(PSUs).One thing you should keep in mind is that we cannot predict the rank based on your score because the gate score depends on the following factors:

• The difficulty of the paper.
  
• No.of students appeared in the examination.
  

Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) is a Government owned corporation or a company in which Central or State Government have more than 51% share. Basically these Government companies run like private companies and share profits to Government. A career with PSU requires, a strong and in-depth technical knowledge and understanding of core engineering Principals. GATE is one such exam, where ones technical and general aptitude is tested. Today, more than 2000 jobs are available for a fresh graduate in engineering in major PSUs in India. The list includes IOCL BHEL , NTPC , BPCL , CEL Power Grid and likes.

All these Public sector companies recruit Engineer Trainee (ET) based on the GATE scores. Initially they would shortlist candidates based on GATE scores and then the process is followed by GD and Interview for assessment of different facets of knowledge.

Hello Heemanshu

If you are getting 59 marks in SC category then you can get shorlisted for various PSU's (according to last year's cutoff). But as this time paper was bit easy as compared to last year hence you can increase the cutoff's to 1.6-2.36 marks ( SC category).

Various PSU's are

NPCIL

BEML

BHEL ( 50-50)

CEL

NTPC

GAIL and MDL will be tough or i can say chances are nil. Same goes with Power grid.
