Hello MARTINA,
GATE exam was earlier only for getting admission into ME/M tech courses but from when GATE score is being used by PSUs, little modification has become important in this exam. So, it will take some time to be modified may GATE office introduce GATE paper in petroleum engineering from 2016 examination.
