Gate PG Programs
Gate PG Programs POSTGRADUATE ADMISSIONS WITH MHRD SCHOLARSHIP A candidate is eligible for Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) Scholarship/ Assistantship in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/Pharmacy/Sciences at engineering colleges/institutes in the country if he/she qualifies in GATE . To avail the scholarship, additionally, the candidate must secure admission to such a postgraduate programme, as per the prevailing procedure of the admitting institution. GATE qualification by itself does not guarantee admission. GATE qualified candidates in Engineering disciplines are also eligible for the award of the Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist/Engineer. As per the directives of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India, the following procedure is to be adopted for admission to postgraduate programmes (Master's and Doctoral) with MHRD Scholarship/Assistantship . The GATE performance of the candidate will be considered for admission. If the candidate is to be selected through interview for postgraduate programmes, minimum 70% weightage is to be given to the GATE performance . The remaining weightage (30% maximum) can be given to the marks obtained by the candidate in his/her qualifying examination or interview. Candidates opting for a general paper (XE or XL) should be further examined (by interview/written test) by the admitting institution. In such cases also the weightage for GATE score should not be less than 70%. The admitting institution will prescribe minimum passing percentage of marks in the interview. Some Colleges/Institutes specify GATE as mandatory qualification even for admission without MHRD Scholarship/Assistantship. Candidates are advised to seek details about admission procedures and availability of MHRD Scholarship/Assistantship from the department of their interest or postgraduate office of the concerned institution. GATE offices will not entertain any enquiry about admission and award of Scholarship/Assistantship. While qualifying in GATE is essential for all candidates seeking admission to postgraduate programmes with MHRD Scholarship/Assistantship, the management of the postgraduate Scholarship/Assistantship is the responsibility of the admitting institution. The GATE Committee has no role in the award or disbursement of Scholarship/Assistantship. Similarly, reservation of seats under different categories is as per the policies and norms prevailing at the admitting institution and the Government of India rules. According to MHRD rules, the award of postgraduate Scholarship/Assistantship to GATE qualified candidates is for a maximum period of 24 months for Master's degree programmes in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/Pharmacy/Science. Every qualified candidate will receive an original GATE Scorecard valid for two years. Additional Scorecards (up to a maximum of two) will be issued only once on request and on payment of Rs 300 per card. Such requests should reach the Organizing Chairman, GATE 2007, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur , Kanpur 208016 before August 31, 2007 together with a bank draft in favour of Chairman GATE, IIT Kanpur, payable at Kanpur . These cards will be labelled as Additional Scorecard -1 and Additional Scorecard - 2 at the top. However, if the candidate changes his/her admitting institution by using the additional scorecard(s), he/she is required to clarify the matters related to his/her admission and Scholarship/Assistantship with the new institution where subsequent admission change is sought. The GATE Score of a candidate is in the range 0 to 1000. It reflects the performance of a candidate, irrespective of the GATE paper or year in which he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE Score from different GATE papers and/or years can be considered to have the same performance level. At present, students in the Integrated Master's Degree and Dual Degree programmes in Engineering/ Technology are eligible to appear in GATE 2007 in order to qualify for the postgraduate scholarship in their own institutions only. They are not eligible for admission to a fresh M.E/M.Tech. programme
Gate Overview
Gate Overview Many students may not be aware that there are several institutions in this country, offering specialized postgraduate programmes in various disciplines. Attractive scholarship / Assistantship for postgraduate courses in engineering / Technology / Architecture /Pharmacy at Engineering colleges / institutes in the country ,are available to those who qualify through GATE. Some Engineering colleges / institutes specify GATE as a mandatory qualification even for admission do students to post graduate programmes. The candidate is required to find the procedure of final selection and award of scholarship / Assistantship from the respective Institution to which the candidate seeks admission. GATE qualified candidates in Engineering subjects) will also be eligible for the award of junior research fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. What is GATE ? The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination administered and conducted in eight zones across the country by the GATE Committee comprising faculty from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordinating Board - GATE, Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India. Objective To identify meritorious and motivated candidates for admission to Post Graduate Programmes in Engineering, Technology, Architecture and Pharmacy at the National level. To serve as benchmark for normalisation of the Undergraduate Engineering Education in the country. Why should we take GATE: M.Tech degree leads to specialization and furthering of interest in a certain area which may lead to Ph.D M.Tech degree is best for those wishing to apply for Faculty/Research positions in educational Institutes/R&D centers. Important Dates: Availability of GATE forms: October, 1st week Last Date for filling up forms: November, 1st week Exam Date: 2nd Sunday of February Results: March 15st Examination Details: The examination is a single paper of 3 hours duration and generally consists of Section A (Objective Type) which is of 75 marks and Section B (Problem Type) which is of 75 marks. Total: 150 marks. You have to opt for your subject and study as per the syllabus mentioned in the GATE brochure. The subjects of our interest are Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering., Electrical Engineering and Instrumentation Engineering. Other subjects are also available such as Mathematics, Physics, etc. Results of qualified candidates in GATE will give All India Rank and indicate percentile score. For example, a percentile score of 99 means you are in the top 1% category of the candidates who appeared for GATE. Candidates who get less than 70 percentile get no score card. GATE scores are valid for 2 years. You may reappear the GATE exam if you are not satisfied with the earlier score and the new score (if better than the old one) will be used for admission purposes. After the Exam, what next: After publication of GATE results, students must apply to individual Institutes to get their application forms. Institutes advertise M.Tech admissions in leading newspapers from 1st April till end July. However some Institutes do not advertise and therefore students have to get the forms themselves. In the application forms, you have to mention your GATE score alongwith other details. The concerned Institute may conduct written test and/or interview for the purpose of admission. General thumb rules: If your Gate score in Computer Science is 96 percentile or more then you can try for IITs, if between 85 - 96 percentile, then apply for top RECs, JADAVPUR, SHIBPUR, ROORKEE, etc. If less than 85, you have to look for appropriate institutes. Scholarship: During the pursuit of M.Tech, you are paid a scholarship of Rs. 5000.00 per month by the Government of India. This amount is enough for living expenses including purchase of books, etc. The scholarship is paid for the entire 18 months M.Tech period. SPECIAL: We encourage 3rd year students to also appear GATE alongwith Final Year students since: GATE score is valid for 2 years. The syllabus as required by GATE is generally over by 5th semester. Anyway, it will be a good try ! If it is a bad score you can always try again.
What is GATE Exam?
Gate GATEway to a high-tech career It is literally a gateway to higher education and a promising career in engineering. Eligibility criteria A master's degree in any branch of science or M.Sc. in Mathematics. Students in the final or pre-final year of these programmes are also eligible. A bachelor's degree in engineering/technology/architecture/pharmacy would also suffice. Candidates in the final or pre-final year may also apply. Candidates in the second year or above of the B.Sc. four-year Integrated Master's Degree Programme, or in the third year (or above) of the five-year Integrated Master's Degree Programme in engineering/technology. Candidates with professional qualification equivalent to BE/B.Tech. through a UPSC/AICTE-recognised examination. GATE exam The examination is a single paper of three-hour duration of the objective type. Negative marking is adopted for some questions in the paper. The results of qualifying candidates will be ranked on an all-India basis and indicate a percentile score. A percentile score of 99 means one is in the top one per cent category of the candidates who appeared for GATE. Candidates who get less than 70 percentile get no score card. GATE scores are valid for 2 years. One can reappear for the GATE exam if one is not satisfied with the earlier score. The new score (if better than the old one) will be used for admission. Students have to apply to individual institutes and get application forms after the GATE results are out. M.Tech. course admission details are advertised in leading newspapers from April 1 till July end. However, some institutes do not advertise and students should approach them directly for the forms. The concerned institute may conduct a written test and/or interview for admission. Students of M.Tech. are paid scholarships by the Government of India for the entire 18-month period. Importance of coaching Dr. Gokhale, who had been secretary, GATE examinations for 1997-98, notes that the examination is widely recognised in industrial and academic circles. He observes there were many coaching Institutes in cities like Hyderabad and Chennai. Coaching was necessary, according to a former principal of a private engineering college. "The Chemical Engineering Department at the Government Engineering College, Kozhikode, offers coaching to students now as a small initiative," says Prof. V.K. Sasikumar, Head, Chemical Engineering Department, Government Engineering College, West Hill, Kozhikode. However, experts advocate preparing for GATE by practising the old question papers following the time limits strictly, since time management in GATE is also crucial. Also practising the questions helps one to familiarise oneself with the GATE exam pattern. Some institutes have recently started conducting separate written tests or interviews or both for PG admissions, apart from considering GATE scores. Importance of PG Dr.Gokhale observes that even a student who has completed B.Tech. at a State engineering college can look forward to doing M.Tech. in a more reputed institute like an IIT or NIT by taking GATE and thus increase his value in the job market. Prof. R. Sreedharan, who has been monitoring admissions, including M.Tech., at NIT-C over the years, observes that some of the students of self-financing engineering colleges outside Kerala try to get into an IIT or NIT by cracking GATE. R&D institutions Prof. Sasikumar says that with India becoming the hub of research and development (R&D) activities and many companies abroad outsourcing these activities to Indian research institutions like CSIR, M.Tech. students have a big chance to grab more opportunities in the research sector where a PG degree carries weight. Dr.Gokhale points out that after the 9\11 attacks in the U.S., a slump in the IT market had re-oriented the engineering students towards higher studies. With opportunities galore in the R&D and other sectors, taking the GATE is increasingly becoming the preferred option for students. Unlike their seniors who kept going back to academics after a few years' work, present-day students prefer to complete higher studies at a younger age as they set for themselves ambitious career goals. The next GATE exam is on February 11, 2008
Way to Electronic and Communication Engineering
There are number of students who are allured by this rewarding career in the Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering field. With Maths and Physics being the required subjects in Class XII, admission in electronics and telecommunication engineering is done on the basis of entrance test, GATE. After completion in the same, one is offered openings in the public sector, defence, manufacturing industries, sales and marketing. Those willing to choose research and development or teaching or consultancy jobs need to pursue postgraduate qualifications. Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE) is the qualifying test that has to be cleared by those looking for placement in postgraduate degree programmes. A degree in ME/MTech is two year courses and further specializations are offered through post graduate diplomas or research fellowships. After pursuing 10+2 students must opt for acquiring technician’s qualifications through the 3 year diploma courses that are usually offered by the Technology Training Institutions. Then there is an option for studying for membership examinations of professional organizations or those diploma holders can carry out part time degree course for enhancing their qualification. There are numerous universities that are offering B.Sc Electronics course which can be followed by an MSc in the subject. Additionally, there are specialized B.Tech courses that are offered in varied fields such as Electronics & Computer Sc., Electronics & Communication, Electronics & Control, Electronics & Telecommunication, Electronics & Information Electronics & Power, Electronics & Instrumentation, Electronics & Telematics, Electronics & Power, Electronics & Electrical Communication and many more. Career Avenues for Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering Students- Organization dealing with consumers, aircrafts and broadcast electronics, hospital and medical equipment, satellite, computers, marine navigation, audiovisual test and farm machinery offers opportunities for electronic /telecommunication engineers. The union or amalgamation of technology for telephones, computers, and cable, video and broadcast television requires proficient people skilled in various other disciplines. Engineers from computers, electronics telecommunications/communication have opportunities in a wide variety of companies. Electronic and Telecommunication engineers are usually required in industries where the working environment varied significantly. Research based professions are carried out in laboratories and as far as fabrication is concerned, these are carried out in showroom. Engineers in Defence, Hospitals, and aeronautics and weather labs are subjected to severe working conditions. However, telecommunication engineers are highly in demand in the manufacturing industries and research and services sector. On the other hand, job involves desk work that expands over a lot of technical calculations, design and testing. Additionally, the field work requires hell lot of traveling and can be at times, physically demanding.

Types of multiple choice questions Multiple choice questions in all papers and sections will contain four answers, of which only one is correct. The types of questions in a paper may be based on following logic: (i) Recall: These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline. The candidate is expected to be able to obtain the answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at most from a one-line computation. ExampleQ. During machining maximum heat is produced(A) in flank face (B) in rake face(C) in shear zone (D) due to friction between chip and tool. (ii) Comprehension:These questions will test the candidate?s understanding of the basics of his/her field, by requiring him/her to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas. ExampleQ. A DC motor requires a starter in order(A) to develop a starting torque(B) to compensate for auxiliary field ampere turns(C) to limit armature current at starting(D) to provide regenerative braking (iii) Application: In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge either through computation or by logical reasoning.ExampleQ. The sequent depth ratio of a hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel is 16.48. The Froude number at the beginning of the jump is:(A) 10.0 (B) 5.0(C) 12.0 (D) 8.0 (iv) Analysis and Synthesis: These can be linked questions, where the answer to the first question of the pair is required in order to answer its successor. Or these can be common data questions, in which two questions share the same data but can be solved independently of one another. Common data questions:Multiple questions may be linked to a common data problem, passage and the like. Two or three questions can be formed from the given common data problem. Each question is independent and its solution obtainable from the above problem data/passage directly. (Answer of the previous question is not required to solve the next question). Each question under this group will carry two marks. Example Common Data, for instance, Questions 55 and 56 in main paper:Let X and Y be jointly distributed random variables such that the conditional distribution of Y, given X=x, is uniform on the interval (x-1,x+1). Suppose E(X)=1 and Var(X)=5/3. First question using common data:Q.55 The mean of the random variable Y is(A) 1/2 (B) 1 (C) 3/2 (D) 2 Second question using common data:Q.56 The variance of the random variable Y is(A) 1/2 (B) 2/3 (C) 1 (D) 2 Linked answer questions: These questions are of problem solving type. A problem statement is followed by two questions based on the problem statement. The two questions are designed such that the solution to the second question depends upon the answer to the first one. In other words, the first answer is an intermediate step in working out the second answer. Each question in such ?linked answer questions? will carry two marks. Example Statement for Linked Answer Questions, for instance, for Questions 59 and 60 in Main Paper: Consider a machine with a byte addressable main memory of 216 bytes. Assume that a direct mapped data cache consisting of 32 lines of 64 bytes each is used in the system. A 50×50 two dimensional array of bytes is stored in the main memory starting from memory location 1100H. Assume that the data cache is initially empty. The complete array is accessed twice. Assume that the contents of the data cache do not change in between the two accesses. First question of the pair:Q.59 How many data cache misses will occur in total?(A) 48 (B) 50(C) 56 (D) 59 Second question of the pair:Q.60 Which of the following lines of the data cache will be replaced by new blocks in accessing the array for the second time?(A) line 4 to line 11 (B) line 4 to line 12(C) line 0 to line 7 (D) line 0 to line 8
