Reportedly 10 lakh candidates have registered themselves for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering this year, an almost 30% increase over last year.
Basically GATE scores are used to determine admission to masters and doctoral courses in engineering, technology, architecture and science in higher education institutions funded by the ministry of human resource development (MHRD) and other government agencies. But interest in higher education isn’t the only reason for this increase in number of registrations. Employment Opportunities are also playing major role here. Many PSUs are recruiting using GATE scores.
In 2012, 13 public sector units, including BHEL, HPCL, PowerGrid, IOCL and GAIL, issued notifications that recruitment would be based on GATE scores. In 2011, the GATE score was used only by IOCL for recruitment, while in 2012 five PSUs said to have used the scores.
