Hi Leela , mechanical students can apply for the higher studies after qualifying a Gate exam. Also qualification of GATE will increase the chances of job in good companies. So student can apply for the jobs also in his field. GATE score is considered in some of the countries for the higher education so student can apply in other countries also for higher studies.

I hope it will help.

Thanks.

Hi Leela,

Below I will list some advantages of  qualifying gate as a Mechanical Engineering:-

1)Many public sector undertakings such as BHEL, Indian Oil Corporation, NTPC, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (there are PSUs totalling 217 in number) are using the GATE score for selecting candidates for their organisations.

2)Students who qualify in GATE are entitled to a stipend of Rs 12,400 per month during their M.Tech course. Better remuneration is being offered for students of M.Tech/M.E as compared to those pursuing B.Tech /B.E. A good GATE rank assures a good job.

4)Qualifying GATE also means you are eligible for Government jobs. After joining M.Tech. at IITs and IISc, one can look at a salary package ranging from Rs 7 lakh to 30 lakh per annum, depending upon specialisation and performance.

5)Clearing GATE is also an eligibility clause for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. M.Tech. degree is mandatory for those wishing to apply for research positions in R&D centres. The GATE score is valid for two years and those who qualify this test are eligible for doing Master’s degree at NUS, (National University of Singapore), Singapore. A GATE score definitely gives one an edge when it comes to joining reputed companies as well as off-campus recruitment. For those who couldn’t pursue their BTech in IIT, it provides another opportunity to study in the prestigious IITs.

6)Few foreign universities have also recognised GATE as a criteria for MS and PhD courses. Above all, it certainly gives you a huge technical edge over others in all your interviews and career planning.

Hopefully this answers your query.

Hello Leela

Just qualifying is equivalent to nothing. Consider if you want to just qualify then there is no use with this qualification. Maybe you will get m.tech seat in some NITs or govt colleges if you have reservation otherwise no use.

If you want to get a rank below 300 then so much hard work with smart work is required. If you get a rank below 300 then definitely you will get placed in one of the PSUs or BARC etc…irrespective of your category.

Here so many PSUs are there , they are

NTPC, GAIL, ONGC, HPCL, IOCL, BPCL, OIL, NPCIL, MDL, VIZAG STEEL, SAIL, COAL INDIA, NLL, MDNL, BEML,etc…

Central govt jobs like BARC ( BARC, NFC, AMD, IGCAR).
