The
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India
examination conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and
seven IIT's (IIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT
Delhi, IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee) on behalf of the National
Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of
Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. The GATE Score
of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate.
The score is used for admissions to various post-graduate programmes
(e.g. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian higher education institutes
with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government
agencies.
