    i have completed my degree in this june,2015. My provisional certificate as well my degree certificates have not been issued yet from the college. When i asked before about the certificate to be enclosed, i was directed to upload my final sem result. I helped my friends with that idea too and we registered our applications uploading our final sem results. Everyone got accepted except mine which says defective certificate ,upload provisional certificate or degree certificate. i tried uploading two three times and it keeps displaying the same notification of defective certificate. I have no other option for now rather than the final sem result. please help. thanking you in advance.

    yours truly,
    Suchil Luwang

    • Hello Priya,

      There are two main uses of qualifying GATE exam :
      1. Getting job in PSUs
      2. Getting admission for Higher education

      For 1st you have to score high for 2nd if you just qualify you may get admission in a good college. If you want to do M tech and don’t want to waste one year for preparation for next year GATE. Also you will get scholarship if you get admission in any college using GATE score.

  44. What does year of qualifying degree mean? Please do make it clear.

    1) Does it mean the year in which you completed your b.tech course at your college?

    OR

    2) Does it mean the year in which you pass the all the semester exams and standing backlogs?

    I completed course at college in 2012. Is my year of qualifying degree in 2012? or the year in which I will clear my standing backlogs?

    Am I a graduate? Because if you put NO in “have you graduated?” it says year should not be less than 2015 or more than 2016.

    If I put YES then there is no problem.

    Please give me a reply because the helpdesk won’t respond to my emails or respond to phone calls and I am terribly confused.

But iam very confused about which qualifying degree should i mention in the form. i dont understand this integrated post b.Sc or diploma after +2 or dual degree. because i had my btech done in 2012 and now my masters get completed. Plz guide me

    • Hello Nimmi,

      Minimum qualification for GATE exam is B E / B Tech. You need to fill that only.
      Dual degree option is only for those who are doing B Tech + M Tech in 5 years course not for whom who first did B Tech then M Tech separately.

    • Hello praveen,

      Yes you can apply on the basis of your B E / B Tech. Because minimum education qualification for GATE is B E / B Tech for an engineering graduate. There would be no problem if you have obtained higher qualification.

    • Hello Amrutha,

      1st option is only for those candidates who are in final year.
      2nd option is for those candidates who are in final year as well as have backlog from earlier semester/year.
      So if you have backlog then only you need to select 2nd option otherwise not.

    • Hello nagraj,

      Both scores are valid its depends upon you which one you want to use.
      If you want to use GATE 2016 score to get admission in any Institute only then your M Tech course will again start from 1st year because you are using GATE 2016 score now.

  82. hello..!
    currently i m in final year of engg. i.e. 7th sem of engg but having live kt in 5th sem . i am appearing in gate 2016 . so what am i suppose to mark in certificate from principal i mean should i mark 2nd option also that is “he/she appeared in final semester/year exam in 2015 and has backlog to be cleared from earlier semester/ year and therefore can not produce course completion certificate” ?
    i have read brochuer but i am confused because in the format of certificate form principal it is mentioned that “for final year or backlog applicant” so what does it mean? that 2nd option is only for 2015 pass ? or should i mark 2nd option also ? plz reply

    Thanks in Advance

    • Hello Dhanunjay,

      As per GATE 2016 office Information :
      You can apply for any of the the two GATE papers (a) Electrical Engineering & (2) Computer Science.

      What GATE 2016 office says :If a candidate is pursuing any higher degree or already obtained a degree higher than that mentioned in the above table, then the candidate can select the relevant minimum required qualifying degree while filling the application form.
      Click here : http://www.gate.iisc.ernet.in/?page_id=130

      But in case of PSUs, As you said you want to use this score for selecting in PSUs then :
      For any PSU application through GATE there are two kind of restriction for a candidate.
      First in which branch candidate have done B Tech degree.
      Second in which GATE paper he/she appeared.

      Point to be noted here is they need a candidate with both of these combine correctly.
      When you will go through any notification of any PSU which recruit through GATE then you will find that they mention GATE paper for particular post as well as your B Tech degree for that particular post.

  89. hi

    even if i get good score and am eligible to apply for IITs/NITs/IISc, will there be any other tests or interviews? If so what kind of tests. the same question for PSU also

    • Hello sri,

      If you qualify GATE and score enough that you get shortlisted for IITs or other top colleges but you have less marks for direct admission in such institutes then there would be an objective type test or interview for you.

  90. sir now i am in final year,but i have a backlog in 6th sem.my doubt is should i submit any records signed by principal for this backlog of 6th sem.

    • Hello Amrutha,

      As far as I know during GATE online application form filling there would be no such option of submitting extra documents. If you find any you may submit it.
      Your 6th sem result would be out with your 8th sem. So no need to worry much about it. You are eligible for GATE.
      As per GATE instructions :
      A candidate who have completed B.E/B. Tech. or currently in final year are eligible for GATE 2016.
