Purpose of GATE Examination

• The purpose of the GATE exam is to evaluate the
  students knowledge and understanding of their
  under Graduate level subjects in Engineering and
  Science. The GATE score reflects the relative
  performance level of a candidate.
• Every year lakhs of Engineering graduate students
  are coming from universities and engineering
  colleges. In the present competitive scenario, to
  measure and test the caliber of engineering
  students is possible through the GATE exam only.

Myth About GATE Examination

• There is a misconception among students is that
  the GATE exam is only for ME. /M. Tech which
  finally leads to a teaching career only. But, it

  fellowship upgraded to SRF (Senior Research
  Fellowship) - GATE and stipend increased to Rs.
  28,000 (US420) per month in the later years, on
  the basis of assessment of CSIR JRF-NET
  guidelines.
