    • Hello deepak,

      Nowadays there are two main options after GATE :
      (1) Jobs through GATE score
      (2) Higher education through GATE score

      Section in b/w Job and Higher education depends upon many factors like your family condition, your interest etc.
      So get good score in GATE then discuss with some people who are doing job after clearing GATE and also with people who are doing Masters or P HD course after claring GATE exam.
      Do some discuss with your family too what they want you to do bcz they are also part of your preparation.
      Most of the candidates choose Jobs in PSUs bcz now a days competition is high so no one wants to lose a single change to get a good job.
      Rest final decision depends upon you.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  13. what r the books to be referred to gate examination?i am belong to shivaji university.is the local publication books are satisfy the needs?

    • Hello Bosu,

      GATE 2016 reference books : http://www.gate2016.info/gate-2016-books/
      There is no problem with Local books but these books must be error free and must contain good enough knowledge for a particular subject.
      If you find a question in question paper you answer correctly as per your local book but that answer differ in standard books.
      Your answer would be wrong because GATE office always follow standard books.
      So it is always advisable that always read standard books.
      You may follow Local books too for understanding any topic but final reference must be from standard books.
      I hope you understand my point.

  14. I am persuing B.tech 3rd yr,Sir what am I elligible for gate2016,and if I m not elligible than how may I crack gate 2017 for psus

  15. sir,is it better to have self study and join in short term course or to join in long term course directly for gate.

    • Hello yeswanth,

      For 2016 short term would be fine but you need to prepare what they dont study you in the class in short term course.
      For 2016 GATE you dont have enough time for long term course now.
      long term would be fine for GATE 2017 preparation.
      Self study is best option but it requires hard work in right direction. If you can maintain, it would be best.

  16. hello sir,
    i have discontinued my engineering degree after 2nd year of engineering,
    i cannot afford to spend 2 more years to complete my graduation,
    m i eligible to give gate2016 if i pursue btech in 1year? there are few universities affiliated with aicte which provide 1 year btech programs.

  17. Hi

    i am bharath i did not start preparing for gate 2016 i am mechanical branch i am week in maths but in technical i need some suggestion to study those subjects which will be asked for more marks and my main problem is i cannot remember the topics what i studied so please give some suggestion to clear gate and gate syllabus for mechanical

    • Hello Bharath,

      For GATE 2016 there is nearly 6 months.
      So first concentrate more on technical and general aptitude left mathematics right now.
      It’s just have 15 marks. If you will left it you will loose only 15 marks.
      If you will prepare it you will loose 85 marks. Which I think you dont wanna loose.

      If you are weak in technical too than start from basics not just start solving problems.
      In GATE exam some times we need to apply more than one theorems, approach.
      So we must be clear first in our basics.

      For not being able to remember topics there could be 2 reasons :
      (1) You are not using right way of understanding/reading as per your mind frequency.
      (2) You dont timely revise what you have read.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  18. sir , i am astudent of manufacturing engineering ….so plzz tell me that am i eligible for gate exam through production and industrial engineering or is it compulsory to go with mechanical engineering….plzz reply as soon as possible

    • Hello sumit,

      You can attend any paper in GATE exam as per your choice but first check the institute’s education qualification requirement in which you want to get admission for a particular course.

    • Hello Sarvesh,

      As per GATE 2015 information brochure only final year candidates are allowed not 2nd/3rd year.
      Rules may change in GATE 2016. So prepare for GATE 2016. May this time GATE allow 3rd year candidates too.
      Yes GATE 2015 score card is valid for 3 year earlier it was for 2 years.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  20. sir,as success in gate exam depends on individual efforts,can we join in any coaching center whether it is good or bad.my aim is to get 50-60 marks .so,please give me answer

    • Hello yeswanth,

      A good coaching institute can help you better than bad one.
      Remember a person with 10-20 year experience in a particular subject is having knowledge always better than a fresh candidate.
      So you can use that experience without being experienced.
      Final decision is totally depend upon candidate.

  28. Sir,
    I want to know whats the minimum percentage required to appear in the Gate exam.
    Is it compulsory to have the Percentage above 60% in general.

    • Hello Arunodaya,

      There is no any percentage criteria for attending GATE exam but there is a percentage criteria when you are going to use this for taking admission in any institute for higher education or for applying any PSU for job purpose. Generally almost all colleges and almost all PSUs demanded 60% in B Tech.

  33. Sir, I am going to appear for Gate 2016, i recently got my name changed legally. Now i am worried if i;ll face any troubles applying for Gate as my SSC and graduation certificated hold my old name.
    My fears:-
    1) Does organising IIT provide any support for uploading Name Change affidavit?
    2) In the blank for Candidates name( mandates to fill same name as mentioned in SSC certificates) which name should i give?
    3) Can there be any discrepancies leading to cancellation of my application?

    • Hello Sir,

      Changing name is not so hard but when you connect this with your education it would not be a good experience for you.
      You would face many problems. As far as I can suggest you, do not change your name in your educational life.
      Rest get suggestions from an expert in this field that would be better.

  34. Hi,
    The contents of the web is wonderful and very useful,

    I want to know what are the eligibilities for writing GATE exams.

    a.) U.G is must or Diploma candidates is also eligible ?
    b.) Suppose If any one of the paper in the last sem of Btech is not passed is he eligible to writeexam ?

    • Hello muthukumaran,

      (a) Diploma of any kind doesn’t comes under any kind of graduation. So for GATE exam minimum education qualification is bachelor of engineering/technology or Master in science/computer etc.
      (b) Yes you are eligible.
      Candidates who are currently in the 4th/final year or already completed are only eligible for GATE exam but if you don’t have minimum qualification within the restricted time period then your GATE score will be of no use. It would be like a trial exam.

        Am in confusion whether to put my son in kochi or chennai ? can you advice

        • Hello needtoknow,

          Why an engineer take admission in an engineering college ?
          directly saying : mainly for getting a good job.
          If you are looking for placement from college then choose a collage with high placement ratio.
          If you are looking for a govt job then choose a college with good reputation in education.
          If you can find a college with both of these qualities then it would be nice.
